career opportunities. This is why many Indians still prefer living and working
abroad and there is nothing wrong in it. In fact, many countries out there look
for Indian brains to strengthen the workforce. So, if you have got the
potential, grab every opportunity that comes your way as far as bettering your
career is concerned.
Now, if you are wondering about what countries outside India offer better career opportunity and comfortable living conditions, then here’s all you need to know about. Today in this post, I am talking about the top 5 countries outside India that offer great career opportunity, superb infrastructure and comfortable living. And if you are looking to relocate abroad, and not sure which country may be better for your career and living, then continue reading this post.
Relocating
abroad is not going to be easy, and this is actually quite different from you
relocating within your own country. In the previous case, it requires lot of
courage to take the decision to move abroad because as long as you are within
your country, you are still in a familiar space. But the moment you cross the
borders, things get a little complicated. After all, you are moving to a
different country with different rules, regulation and culture. So, accepting
the change and adjusting to the new environment often becomes tough, because most
of the things are going to be new on a whole new level.
You may have
to compromise in the initial stages in various ways like staying away from
family, abiding by the new rules and regulations etc. but if that ensures a
brighter future for you, it is better to give it a shot. Please understand that
if you are able to establish yourself well, then you will be able to give your
family a better life as well. Trust me, you will be able to adjust to everything
after some time, and once you are able to do that, life will become much better
for you.
Choosing the
right country to relocate can change your life for the better.
So, are you
ready to learn about the countries outside India you can move for a better
career?
Let’s check
them out.
Countries outside India to relocate for better career
Money is
very important for a happy and comfortable life, and relocating to a
well-established and developed country can certainly improve your quality of
life. You will get lot of opportunities career wise, which will help you grow
both professionally and personally.
Here is the list of top five countries outside India you can move for better career opportunities:
Canada for better career options
The very
first country in my list of top countries outside India you can move for a
better career is Canada. There is no doubt that you will get a lot of
opportunities to get established in your career in Canada. And that is why it
is becoming a hotspot for Indians to relocate and live and work there.
But what
makes Canada different from other countries is that while other countries are
making strict laws for foreigners, Canada has made things comparatively easier
for Indians and other migrants all over the world. Their laws are much more
lenient and so it is not too difficult to get a Canada visa.
Now, the
reason why Canada wants Indians to relocate there is because that lessens their
problem of shortage of skills, increases productivity as well as contributes in
the overall economy of Canada.
So, when you
have a country with lots of job opportunities in store for you as well as
welcome you with open arms, I think it is the best combination anyone can ask
for. Hence, if you want to increase your quality and standard of living, moving
to Canada is something you may like to consider.
Canada has
got point based system as far as Visa is concerned. You will be allotted points
for each criterion like age, education, experience etc. So, if you have got the
skill, experience along with higher proficiency in English, I am sure you will
be able to relocate to Canada easily.
Relocating to Singapore
Singapore is
one of the top 5 wealthiest cities in the world as per GDP. It is also one of
the cleanest and the most efficient Asian cities. What’s fascinating is
Singapore has managed to retain its charm from the British colonial days as
well as able to provide its people with cutting edge facilities. Hence,
Singapore is definitely the dream destination for not just Indians but people
from all over the world desiring a better life.
Singapore is
also one of the safest places to live because of the low crime rates there,
thanks to the very strict laws. While this is a good thing for you, you should
also keep in mind to abide by all the laws otherwise face heavy fines and
punishments.
As far as
Visa to Singapore is concerned, getting a tourist Visa is not that tough, but
if you are planning to live there permanently, then things are going to be a
little difficult. However, if you have the skills and the experience and you
are patient, then you can actually end up having a dream job in Singapore.
But, before
that you will have to apply for a legal Visa. There are a lot of Visa options
available there starting from Employment Pass, to Entre Pass to S Pass to
Dependent’s Pass etc. The type of Visa you will have to acquire will depend on
the purpose of your visit there.
The cost of
living in Singapore is pretty much high but then, the wages are also higher.
Also, you will be able to enjoy a high standard of living as well as enjoy the
exquisite beauty of Singapore. So, Singapore is definitely a good option.
Although it
is tough to get an Australian Visa but as far as better quality of life and
great job opportunities is concerned, Australia is certainly one country to
look out for. The best thing is that workers are very well respected in
Australia.
In fact, if
you do not know, then let me just tell you that Australia was one of the first
countries to go for a 40 hour work weekly. Once you consider the cost of living
and taxes, individuals in minimum wages are earning about USD 9.54 hourly which
is really great.
And, it is
also a fact that in comparison to the other countries, the taxes for the
workers with low income are not that high.
Also, in
Australia, the education and health facilities are good, so it is a good place
to relocate to for better career opportunity and lifestyle. However, Australia
is quite expensive, so it is better for you to find a job first and then
relocate to Australia. It may be hard to live in Australia without a stable job
in hand.
If you have
to relocate to Australia, you will have to clear the point-based immigration
system of Australia which actually depends on age, education, experience and
English proficiency.
The minimum marks you need to get is 65 points but to increase your chances of getting selected, it is better to score as high as possible. For more details, refer to my earlier post: How to Relocate to Australia from India: Quick Ref Guide
Moving to UK for better career
opportunities
United
Kingdom (UK) is one of the top places in the world that has seen a lot of
migration and Indians are no exception. And, why not, there are so many well
paid jobs in UK that you will have enough chance to grow in career there. Also,
UK has got the best colleges and universities there in the past; many travelled
there for higher studies and eventually got settled there. However, getting a
UK visa has got really tough today, so you got to keep trying and be patient.
Again there
is a point-based system for obtaining UK visa. The higher you score, the more
chances of you getting selected. In general, the UK Visa can be classified into
two major types and those are Tier 1 Visa and Tier 2 Visa.
Tier 1 visa is
for the entrepreneurs and Tier 2 visa is issued for the skilled workers. Then
there is Spouse Visa, Student Visa etc. You will have to apply for the type of
Visa depending on the purpose of your visit there.
Relocating to New Zealand for better career options
New Zealand
is one of the most popular destinations for the Indians. Recession was not that
much severe here and the country also has one of the lowest personal tax rates,
when you compare it with other countries. Apart from providing with good career
opportunities, there are many other benefits of staying in New Zealand like for
example, good sub-tropical climate and plenty of space to live making land
cheaper for immigrants.
So, if you
meet up the eligibility criteria for the immigrations, you may apply for the
Visa, and after you get selected may try to get the PR that is Permanent
Residency. New Zealand will definitely give you the life you desire.
Summary
India is a
great country to live and work, but sometimes the grass at the other side look
attractive. And therefore, there are many who wish to relocate to a different
country where they can get better career opportunity and a comfortable life.
And, if you
are also planning to relocate abroad, then Canada, Singapore, Australia, UK and
New Zealand are one of the top countries that you may like to consider for better
career opportunities and comfortable life.
These
countries provide with good job opportunities along with good infrastructure,
good educational and health facilities. In short, the standards of living in
these countries are high. And if you want a bright future, you may think of
relocating to one of these developed countries.
However,
although these countries are traditional favorites among Indians, the system of
acquiring Visa for most of these places have become tough today. One of the
reasons is because these countries have already become very full of immigrants
so they want to limit the number of immigrants.
You must
have already heard about US and how difficult US Visa system has become today, and
this is why many avoid going to USA today. Similarly, apart from Canada, these
other countries have also tightened up their laws for immigrants. So, unless
you got the skill and the experience and the patience, it may not work for you.
Now, if you
have tried in all the above-mentioned countries and none of them worked for
you, then you may consider some other countries like Germany, Belgium, UAE,
Brazil etc. These are the emerging destinations and do fall in the list of the
best countries to live and work.
