I had In The House - In A Heartbeat playing in my head while making this meme
sorry for the pixelation in the corner, I used a shitty website which put a watermark there
Supposedly New Zealand straight-up denies people for ever recieving psychiatric help. It's insane. I'm wondering about the shit show that's going to happen when LGBT, POC and disabled Americans are actually forced to start fleeing the US, only to find that countries tend to have laws against US citizens seeking refuge, against people with disabilities immigrating, etc.
Most Americans don't realize that the U.S. is by far the easiest developed country to immigrate to, by a country mile. It's still an incredibly difficult feat, but our standards are really, really low. For most developed countries, you'll need to have a specialized, useful education, a significant amount of capital on-hand, a clean bill of health, and you'll need to learn a new language.
My "plan" for a Trump election is to try and get a student visa to complete my PhD in neuroscience, and then I'll overstay and escape to the European wilderness as an illegal immigrant. I wouldn't hold my breath for a promise of asylum.
Awwwww there goes that plan.
Belgium, Germany, Spain, The Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, France to name a few. Also Mexico for some reason
Did you actually look or are you just upset?
me after I accidentally spread misinformation on the internet
It happens! You're learning!
You can edit the post with *apparently not all countries
As a German, afaik if you want to permanently move to germany you need to prove that you can support yourself financially (or someone else will?), so you will need a job offer and or some savings.
There is no requirement to not be disabled, but being disabled could make fulfilling those requirements more difficult.
This is true for the US as well. It’s why legal immigration into the US isn’t as easy as people would try to pretend. Other than a student visa, you are required to have a sponsor. Whether that be a family member or significant other that can support you, or a place of business that is going to be paying you a salary so a person can support themselves.
There are also limitations based on country of origin. Some countries don’t have that much “competition” when it comes to people applying for citizenship, so they can get through the process quickly. Other countries have huge populations of people attempting to immigrate, causing year of delays on processing paperwork. That is why “illegal” immigration is so common in the US. The process is bogged down in bureaucracy and paperwork, all of which generally require time/money/legal representation. Something a majority of US citizens could not afford if they had to do so to stay in the country.
It seems like half the planet dislikes disabled people, really
Australia & New Zealand deny immigrants with an autism diagnosis!
Source? Fucking wild
Any significant disability....

Wait, who what now? I'm not aware of any extra immigration requirements based on your health situation. I certainly didn't get asked when I was a migrant.
I guess it is about proving that you can provide for yourself otherwise you won't be allowed to permanently stay. But this doesn't really have anything to do with the healthcare system. Just a guess.
Lots of places have this, I wouldn't be able to be a Canadian citizen because of it.
As a skilled worker with a kidney transplant, I am painfully aware of this.
Skill issue, should've been born in one of those countries
Damnit im stuck in america
U S A! U S A! U S....
wait...
This is not true
To the extent that Denmark’s international obligations, including the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, require it, the Immigration Service grants exemptions from (that is to say, you will not need to meet) one or more of the requirements for a permanent residence permit.
USA better again, suck It rest of the world
Fat people in most countries: "I need to make sure I don't get so bad that I can't fit through this one-meter-wide door in a public building."
Fat people in America: "I'M SUING THE CITY UNTIL THEY MAKE A LAW THAT REQUIRES ALL DOORS TO BE TWO-METERS WIDE!!"
Edit: The meme insinuates that good healthcare would have prevented the disability, so the first disability that came to mind was obesity. My comment doesn't apply to everyone, obviously.
