ESIS International - Study, Work, Travel, Settle Abroad

Foreign currencies have always been volatile. The US Dollar has almost doubled in the past 10 years, whereas the UK Pound has been falling since the exit of the UK from the European Union. The Euro, on the other hand, has remained mostly stable over the past decade . But in the past few years, the currency charts indicate a constant rise in the Euro. The Euro has increased almost 10% in just the past few months. The increasing currency rate has made Europe even more promising for people who are looking to build a professional career abroad. Moreover, lower living costs and higher salaries make Europe the best option for students and graduates who want to settle abroad. Also, the vast scope to travel and the rich culture and heritage of various European countries make Europe the best bet for International students to pursue higher studies in Europe. That’s why more than 1.5 million students came to Europe in 2016 for higher studies. And this number is increasing year on year. Many m...

Switzerland is one of the most expensive countries to live in the entire world. With the strict immigration laws, finding a job and living in Switzerland is not that easy. But to everyone’s surprise, a Swiss town is offering young people €60,000 to live there. This has come up due to the rapid population plunge in the Swiss town of Albinen.

The town is offering anyone who wishes to move here 25,000 CHF(€21,500), with an additional 10,000 CHF(€8,500) per child. So, a family of four can get a sum of €60,000 if they meet the criter...

We have been hearing a lot over the news about Catalonia’s Independence movement against Spain. Catalonia is a small region in the Northeastern part of Spain. The four main provinces in this region are Barcelona, Girona, Lleida and Tarragona. The Catalan Independence Referendum was held on 1 October, 2017 in the Spanish autonomous community of Catalonia. Earlier in September, the Catalan government held a vote for the independence of Catalonia from Spain. But due to the Spanish government’s suppression, only 43.03% could turn up for voting. The referendum question, which voters answered with “Yes” or “No”, was “Do you want Catalonia to become an independent state in the form of a republic?”. The “Yes” side won, with 2,044,038 (92.01%) voting for independence and 177,547 (7.99%) voting against. But due to the police crackdown, more than 770,000 votes were not cast as people didn’t leave their houses to go for voting. Also, 1066 civilians and 11 agents of the National Police an...
