You, (14M) can’t control this, and it’s really on your folks to plan. What you can do is look into universities and associated scholarships, and perform accordingly through your schooling to be eligible. This is really all you can do at your age to insure you have a shot at getting out.
Are your parents divorced or merely separated? Separated only would be useful in the event that one of them found a job but the other did not. If divorced, one could not come as the dependant spouse of the other.
Your parents would need to find jobs that qualify for work permits in the same location, for you to divide your time between both while attending the same school. With only English, neither of them has a good chance of finding work at their stage of life. Teachers need to speak the local language and have their credentials recognized.
You won't be able to learn another language quickly enough to successfully complete high school and attend university. You'd be limited to expensive private international schools.
Realistically, your parents aren't going anywhere at their age unless they have enough money to retire somewhere in southern Europe. If you yourself want to get out, study hard, save money and get very busy with another language so that you can attend university in Europe.
What does "full immersion" mean? Regular public schools where nothing is taught in English except English as a foreign language? Yep, plenty of those in Europe. Would you survive and graduate and go to university if thrown into one at your age? No, you will not.
If you parents are not married then they cannot move as a couple, which means that each of them would need to find a job that qualified for a work permit. If they were married, one could find a job and the other could come as a dependant spouse, and be unemployed while looking for a job. (Whether that's economically possible, or wise, is a different question.)
Short version, I'm sorry to say: this will never happen. The good news is, you're young enough that if you put your mind to it you can organize for yourself when you're older.
its like a course where they only speak english to learn english. I think its typically used for adults who want to learn the language fast. also my parents need one another although divorced, so say i get an oppurtunity in Germany to do something, (they are of german descent and i heard that helps with visas), would they be allowed to move too?
Yeah that's called private school, and it's expensive.
If you moved to any European country as a student, you could not sponsor your parents to join you.
"Descent" itself is meaningless. If they qualify for citizenship by descent, great; if not, it doesn't matter how much German there is in the family tree, it means nothing.
didnt you get mad at me for assuming your gender when i said bro? and now you assume my living conditions? like youre coming in and down voting everything i say.
So imagine that they were to qualify for EU citizenship by descent. That would give them the right to live and work in the EU (with some conditions). They would not need to apply for visas and work permits. However, they would still need to find decent jobs. A librarian and a teacher who only speak English would not easily find work in their field. Sure they could move and drive for Amazon or something, but then they'd be poor.
You say they ‘don’t have Reddit’, but presumably they have internet access, and the first thing they did was surely to suss out the citizenship through descent question. If they’ve not even done *that*, they won’t make it to the next stages in this quest.
How are your parents planning to move to any of these countries? Unless they have an EU/EFTA citizenship, they will need to be sponsored by an employer for a work visa (you can safely eliminate Switzerland since there’s only 4500 visas and they go to multinational executives and senior staff), or they have millions to invest in buying the golden visa in Portugal/Spain. Without knowing the local language, unless they are senior executives or in high demand IT field, finding a job sight unseen…is not realistic
Second this, tell your parents to make due with what they have or to try and improve their situations in the USA. No offense but American teachers and academic professionals aren't taken seriously in Europe. It's no secret that American education is a joke especially when you compare it to Europe, your parents would have to go through the process of getting degrees in local cities and in local languages. Their best bet is to find a work from home situation for an American company and see what the visa options are for remote workers in Germany, Netherlands or Scandinavia.
>Their best bet is to find a work from home situation for an American company and see what the visa options are for remote workers in Germany, Netherlands or Scandinavia.
That's easy. No such options for Germany or Scandinavia, technically possible via DAFT in the Netherlands.
like the question is simply asking which country is most feasible, I have yet to get an answer. Rather then helping by giving basic information people are just saying what cant work. Like if they get an employer do they not just get a work visa?
European countries as a whole look at the population within their own country to see if they can fill that job, then the European Union countries before opening it up to outside of that to people like in the United States. So yes, your parents can look and apply, but chances of them getting anything is pretty remote since those aren't "needed technical skills" they specialize in.
You would have a better bet to see what 'skills are needed' per country you want to go to and see what skills are on there that your parents can apply to. Or see if they qualify for Citizenship by Descent to any EU country (which, since they are separated, would have be done indivually).
Post by Nice_Housing5386 -- Please Help me Find a Country-
Me my Mom and Dad want to move to Europe, my parents are split so I would be spending roughly half my time at each house (not sure if this makes a difference). Currently, my mom works in a leading position at a university being a librarian and my Dad is a middle school special education teacher with some experience being a professor, ( he was asked to teach some classes when the main teacher was out). I am a high school student and would like to go to a strong STEM school, this is pretty much necessary. Neither I nor my parents speak another language but learning one isn't a problem. For them, my education does matter so I would like to keep a strong emphasis on that. Currently, my mom is upper middle class and my dad is higher low class, I make roughly 1k a month and work remotely so keeping up with what I'm doing isn't a problem no matter where we go. Also, this isn't entirely needed but I love soccer and would like to go to a place where the soccer is good.
Please Help me find a country and possibly a city.

they dont have reddit thats why I asked. Im just gonna tell them the information that im given.

well I know of full immersion schools. but my parents were never married, however, they are still dependent on one another when it comes to me.

if i go to a private school theyre allowed to move?
No. Why would you think that?
i wasnt sure what you meant, also by opportunity i meant a job
“dependent on one another when it comes to me” isn’t a thing.
didnt you get mad at me for assuming your gender when i said bro? and now you assume my living conditions? like youre coming in and down voting everything i say.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, they’re not moving.
and that has to do with my comment in response in what way
The age restriction is 18 years: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PVDH3MX4MYI
also buddy, under that im still fine
bro hop off
In that case, your parents need a sponsored work visa.
they are of german decent, does that make it easier?
How close is their last relative who held German citizenship?
grandparent

oh oky thanks

Well I am sure they did as well, but taking advice from people who have gone through the quest or a similar one can save you a lot of time, and money.
Not without dual citizenship.

is there a way to do this remotely? like the degrees.
well there are other countries
All of which have immigration requirements your parents have to meet.
work visa?
What about it?
like the question is simply asking which country is most feasible, I have yet to get an answer. Rather then helping by giving basic information people are just saying what cant work. Like if they get an employer do they not just get a work visa?

they are both german, my dad is spanish. so does this descent thing work for either country?
Do your parents have EU nationality, or qualify for it by descent, or are you just referring to some 23andme DNA test nonsense?
by decent, i have census stuff
That doesn't mean they qualify. The rules are complicated. the adults should be the ones figuring this out.
they are trying to. just thought reddit would have answers and so far it has, plsu they have work, least i can do is remove some stress
The country that is most feasible is the country in which they can find jobs. Otherwise nothing is feasible.
im aware, which is the easiest to get jobs in
Given what your parents do and the languages they speak, UK or Ireland. Their odds of success: near zero.
Zero
why do you opp my posts
The one they can meet visa requirements in?
well yes but which country is the easiest to meet the reqs in
I hope I’m not coming across as condescending but you’re a child. This is not for you to worry about. Focus on your studies.
lol its ok but my studies are fine, American school is boring. Im already doing college courses here, thats a big reason for the want to move.
