    The most important thing is the work visa. If you don't have that you might as well be deported

    Why do you want to run away? Unless your life is in danger you have stuck it out this long make a good plan during the six months until you are legal. You would only create more stress and problems for yourself acting rashly. From the frying pan into the fire...(n)..tbh :(
    I think more info needed to make an accurate assessment and analysis:eek::p
    More info please :
    Male or female
    Skills?
    Extrovert or Introvert
    Any experience traveling?

    Aren't guns pricey? I don't even know where to get one illegally.
    But I'm not the one running away..?
    Yup yup, proper assessment indeed.

    Haha..as a person who considers running away to an exciting place at least once a week I have to say prep would be key..go visit first..check it out before packing for the big move lol. Apply for jobs online go for interview see if you like it. Stabilize the situation before you randomly move somewhere

    Run away with someone else. Preferably someone with experience and being trustworthy. They will act as a guardian and keep the protagonist from being swindled and/or killed. :bloblove::blob_patpat::blobnom:

    NGL if you want everything to be clean and legal, then most of it is already answered in this thread... for guns and other stuff...it depends on the person’s ability or (bad) luck finding just that other person who knows the dealer.
    Also, is your protagonist a boy, girl or doggie? That difference makes life in certain countries definitely difficult...

    Contrary to popular belief, Texas ranks in the lower half of crime rates per capita.

    Agree. I did an internship in a certain country over ten years ago, now when some people were looking for a place to work and I suggested that country they were like are you crazy? It’s impossible to get a working visa there now bla bla bla. And I’m thinking how lucky I was back then

    Still guns aren't the answer..the reaction time of a normal person when being mugged would prevent them from being able to pull the gun out and be effective. The mugger has the element of surprise. Also most places prohibit carrying a concealed weapon.Awareness is key..be alert to your surroundings..avoid dangerous areas..altho the best ribs I ever had was at a small restaurant in a dangerous area of Chicago haha..may I ask where you live?

    No, it was ten+ years ago... 2006/2007, 6 months duration, one term in uni

    Edit
    Actually I’m surprised my mum let me go there... usually she’s all stressed out when I go to another town for half a day, where as that internship was in another country (like nine hour flight or so?).... thinking about it I did a few really stupid things there... like getting in a car with a man probably twice my age... and other stuff... I guess I was really lucky nothing bad happened... and I always thought I was smart ... hmmmm

    Humm yeah. Politic changes and market demands are a huge hassles for visas. @Bad Storm if your character still is considered a citizen of target country they want to escape to, it’s probably easier...
