6 Countries Where Americans Can Move and Work

Six countries will let you, as an American, arrive legally and work for up to a year — no employer sponsorship, no job offer lined up before you go. A different visa lets you keep your U.S. salary while living in Spain, Portugal, or 40+ other countries. And one program pays your flights, your living costs, and a stipend on top. Most Americans never use any of these. Plenty don't know they exist.
