Everything seems so impossible.
I'm not a student, I don't have a specialized profession, I don't have family in Iceland, I'm not an athlete. How do I gain residence? I had no clue it would be this hard. But my dad is right "if it were easy we would all live in Iceland" Throughout my endless Internet travels I have met some incredibly helpful people. Very knowledgeable, ready and willing to lend any support they can. Yet all of the people that have moved from the US to Iceland that I have talked to have had certain reasons for living there mostly having a relatives or a spouse in Iceland. The best suggestion I got was to go for the three months that I am allowed to, make friends and try to find a job. Then get all of my forms filled out and begin processing. But that means I have to leave the country. Which I suppose wouldn't be too big of a deal since my aunt lives in Belfast Northern Ireland. But it is a bit of an inconvenience as far as money goes and there are no guarantees.
I am lucky that I still have a long way to go until August. All of these snags I am encountering are just fueling me more and more to make it happen. I will go to any lengths to get to where I am going. I will get the number for the head of immigration if I have to. As soon as my passport gets to me Its off to D.C to chat with The Embassy.
Until then. More research.

You need to show up in Iceland and make everyone believe you are a talented filmmaker. Don't underestimate yourself. Show them you mean serious business and that you are the boss.
ReplyDeleteForget this non-sense you write about thinking in your head whether you should do it. I think that's already established. THe only thing left to do now is plan. And money/income is a big part of the equation.
Forget this residency nonsense, just go there and do the job guerrilla style.
Awesome advice! Its becoming more apperent that your method is what will end up happening.
