    I knew that they had pretty restrictive policies -- also, don't you have to be able to deposit a LOT of money with them as well?
    My goal in life is to be as good a person as my dog thinks I am.

    Depends on age and skill set.
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

    It would be determined by the amount of cash you had to invest in their nation as well as your age and skill set. I don't know what rules they have about lawyers, per se.

    I find it odd that people who think that there should be no border security want to move to a nation with one of the strictest immigration policies anywhere.

    No, just a generality. There are many who promote the open border, yet want to move to NZ or Australia. Both of which have very restrictive immigration policy.
