I don't think there's a single country in the world that will let Americans get residency without a reason for being there, such as a job, school, or marriage. Or being filthy loving rich, and that's only some countries.

Like your plan is the equivalent of illegally immigrating to the US with no job and deciding that you neeed to live in San Francisco.

Well no, I'm not looking to illegally immigrate to the UK. Lots of people immigrate to the US from all over the world as part of an incoming queue/lottery. That's what I want to do, but to England. There's at least a process in place in the US- it seems pretty opaque of such a thing exists for England.
I must say, I didn't realize that Americans were kept OUT of the immigration queue around the world. :(

Okay so, the reason why I compared it to illegal immigration and the reason why it's obscure is that it doesn't exist. I think the best you can do is try to find an employer that will sponsor you. I also know an ex freelancer who used to hop countries every couple of months so if you think you can make enough to support that you might be able to spend a lot of time in the UK?

Also Americans aren't specifically kept out of other countries, those types of agreements are reciprocal and the US has never had any interest in signing one.

Is it going to make things easier though? I thought a bunch of big companies are leaving and not taking all of their employees with them
