If the local currency of your country isn't listed here, then I cannot easily live and work in your country.
There are some I feel are not safe to travel to. Nore also that there may be unsafe regions in some countries, and I will apply discression here.
▪ Red List [THESE ARE TOO DANGEROUS TO SET FOOT IN. Can be permanent or subject to review. PERMANENT implies that signifficant regime change would be required for review; further notice implies temporary problems must be resolved.]
▪ Amber List [These have no reason to be on the other lists. Amber statues implies that I will visit or work in the country based on merits. Remember, countries on this list can contain individual areas which I will rule out. For example, USA, Nigeria. Subject to verification.]
▪ Green List [Would definitely work in if given a suitable job offer - subject to affordability of course!]
Remember that a green status does not in itself imply that somewhere is affordable! In addition, some countries my have strict employment laws making it very difficult for me to operate.
Remember, the rules and laws of the country in question must be observed. This includes any relevant visa rules.
