1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason

NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

Ok, I get it. Again, I wasn’t trying to bust your chops, just couldn’t figure out how the country you are living in is foreign. If the country puts barriers to entry like that ( you have been there for 6 years and they still consider you foreign? That doesn’t make sense to me) then I understand why you consider it foreign. Just curious, and you don’t have to answer this, is your wife a native there? Does not marring a native not give a person some standing?
Yeah, my wife’s a citizen of this country. I just recently got residency, but those restrictions still apply.
I just don’t have to renew my tourist visa anymore and I don’t have to fly out and back into the country trying to every 3 years.
It also lets me get employed by a private company without the need of a work visa.
But I still can’t hold professional jobs. I actually was looking into going to med school at one point to be a doctor here.
School is cheap here, then I found out that even if I go to med school here I’m not allowed to practice medicine.
It’s actually a bit annoying, but now there is one less doctor in this country.
