YouTubers moving around countries...

[theluckyone90]

So this confuses me a lot! How can YouTubers like Caspar Lee, Sam Pepper, etc move to other countries so easily? I know Caspar is from South Africa, yet he's now living in England...surely he'd need a visa or something and visas are so hard to get! Sam Pepper now lives in the US....how? I'm just so confused by how they're living in these countries... anyone have any input or info?

US visas are difficult to obtain only for some people. I do not know these YouTubers but if they are big enough to have their own media companies I am sure they will find the appropriate long term visa type (for US and UK). In general if you want to make some kind of business in US (and big YouTube channel is usually a real business) it should be easy to get there.

It's hard for people in Latin American countries to get US Visa and move that easy to America, but I have many friends from Scotland, Italy, and other countries in the European Union that have come here with Social Security Numbers and all the stuff required to stay here and work legally.[DOUBLEPOST=1409295896,1409295727][/DOUBLEPOST]Here is a Passport Map where it shows how many countries you can get in without needing a visa depending on the country. As you can see Finland, Sweden, and United Kingdom can go to 173 countries without needing a visa, and then Denmark, Germany, Luxembourg, and U.S.A. 172 countries.

Man all i know is ppl who live in the first world country are really REALLY lucky a'f and often still not satisfied. Like you must be blind not to see all the opportunities around you. Some can't even reach out to those. And then those people who say ''it doesn't matter where you come from...'' often are all from U.S. Lol so yeah.. small rant i guess.
But regards this topic i agree with @chottom. Its mainly cuz they're successful and generate a lot of income and often those people get a written invitation to the country by probably some big guy from some company this specific youtuber decided to work with. So basically then they can take this invitation to the embassy and get their visas.
