More Americans want to live overseas, but in 2025, several countries are tightening rules. Visa restrictions, slower approvals, and legal
risks are rising as governments react to overcrowding, political tensions, and strained resources. Key Changes: Japan: New JESTA system will
require pre-travel approval. Long stays face stricter enforcement. Canada: Slowing immigration to protect housing and healthcare.
Expect delays and tighter screening. UAE: Harsh penalties for behavior or items legal in the U.S. Risky for relaxed long-term living. Russia:
Visa processing slower due to strained U.S. ties. Sudden policy changes possible. China: Looser tourist rules, but legal unpredictability
and exit bans remain a concern. Takeaway It’s still possible to move abroad, but now takes more planning, paperwork, and caution
