Permanent Migration from Indonesia
Me and my wife got married last year and lately we’ve been seriously thinking about just leaving everything behind in Jakarta and trying to permanently move to the US.
I’m 30 this year, been working in legal/compliance/risk related roles for around 6 years now. Stable career on paper, decent life, all that stuff. But mentally I feel checked out already. We both kinda do.
And before people ask: no, not Australia, not Canada. We specifically wanna try for the United States.
Thing is, I genuinely don’t mind starting over from zero. I don’t care if my office experience becomes useless over there. I’d wrench old Corollas in some random shop if that’s what it takes. Warehouse work, blue collar stuff, whatever. I just want out and I want a different life.
Question is…realistically, how possible is this nowadays?
How hard is it for someone like me to permanently migrate there? Especially without being some elite software engineer or millionaire investor.
Anybody here actually did it in their late 20s/30s?
