I am from India, residing in Qatar. I wish to move to a different country. I have zero idea, what to do to prepare; where to start, what to do, which country to target......any pointers ?

not the best time at the moment...
But you could try Zurich Switzerland maybe at Googles European Headquarters. Make your indian friends jealous with selfies in the swiss alps where many Bollywood films were shot.

Have you considered Mars?

@molaram If you had the resources and means to go to Mars and settle there, there's sod all any government could do to stop you - unless they really wanted to shoot you out the sky.

@M1sf3t because they're selfish, and that would be paying for a missile with no upside.

@molaram well ...no, about qatar, nothing wrong, it’s the best place I have lived. It was just for a personal change, which now that I’m thinking with a sound mind, is unreasonable.
........

But Its good now to have some idea and knowledge, if I plan someday....Is Switzerland easy really?

@NoMad
Bright side is, any of those counts are an improvement on Qatar. Except maybe Somalia

@SortOfTested it really depends. For example, if you're a Muslim, it isn't really an improvement.

@NoMad
No, not really 😊 it's the epitome of the cancer that is patriarchal theocracy. I went there during my time with Exxon, and it was the only place I was told I was not allowed to speak until spoken to during meetings. Not even in Saudi.

Cons
- you need to learn german for the german part or french for the french part of switzerland. Better start before the move. English is widely spoken tho and you'll get by with it.
