A guide for Americans seeking to immigrate to a new country has been released by The Washington Post as an increasing number of people are considering leaving the country following President-elect Donald Trump's victory.

An article published on Monday reported that Expatsi, a company that assists Americans in relocating abroad, experienced a surge in website traffic equivalent to a month's worth of visits within the first few hours following the presidential election. Additionally, the company's founder, Jen Barnett, stated that she observed "a couple of month's worth of sales" within the last few days.

The report cautioned readers that becoming a full expat can be challenging and costly, and provided information on the immigration process in popular destinations such as Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and Ireland.

The article provided information on the "political outlook" and "health care" standards in addition to descriptions of the immigration processes in each country.

"The Labour Party has been elected to form the first center-left government in Britain in 14 years, while the Conservative Party has shifted further right and Nigel Farage's anti-immigration party has a significant impact on politics. On the other hand, most people in Britain depend on the publicly funded health system, but they need to pay an annual surcharge of up to $1,400 as part of their immigration applications before they can use it."

New Zealand is shifting to the right, while Ireland, Canada, and Australia are being led by center-left or socially liberal leaders, according to an article.

Last year, American liberals viewed New Zealand as a distant utopia due to then-Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern's center-left policies. However, the country has shifted to the right and is now led by its most conservative government in decades, with many gun control initiatives and environmental protections being reversed, according to the Post.

Last week, the Los Angeles Times reported a growing number of Americans, particularly Californians, who are planning to move overseas due to their frustration with the divisiveness of U.S. politics. While it has been a common threat among liberal celebrities, experts noted that even conservatives are considering leaving the country.

Amanda Klekowski von Koppenfels, a migration scholar at the University of Kent in Brussels, stated to the LA Times that she has anecdotally heard more people discussing not only the Trump administration but also the division in the country.
