Van- do u think i can use a pinnacle account if i lived in an european country for a few months and had an official address?
and was thinking about a work permit maybe thats my only way to stay in a country for 3 months and maybe prove myself, build myself up to stay longer and possiblyyyy a citizenship. idk what do u think? I also gamble on the side for pretty high stakes. i hit around 70% in tennis and euro basketball.
In order to get a pinnacle account, you need proof of residency (a lease or a utility bill with an address), a local govt issued ID, and a bank. All preferably that line up to the same address.
But you can get a pinnacle acct in the USA in an hour through a broker. I hope you arent doing all of this to get a pinny account.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news - but they dont just give out work permits. You have to prove to them that you are an essential worker that they cant get there. If you have an unusual skill or something. Like a soccer player. Telling them you were a postal worker here doesnt qualify I am afraid.
Your best shot is looking for a company here in the US that needs Americans over there. Or look for a teaching opportunity where they need native English speakers.
I can tell you it isnt easy. I know from firsthand experience. I am married to a (dual US and) European citizen, all of my kids are dual citizens, and I have had major issues. I am able to work there at any time because of my marriage, but in order to become a citizen it is a nightmare. But I can work and live there whenever I want - as long as I am still married.
So go find a US company - or marry yourself a EU citizen. Once married - you can work and live.
