With the economic situation on the continent, it is no longer a new thing that Africans are looking for ways to relocate abroad. 

Though the economic recession is one of the major reasons people immigrate abroad, some are due to political instability, family and educational reasons.

According to Statista, the number of people emigrating from Africa doubled in 2021 compared to 2000. In 2021, about 41 million people left the continent to reside permanently in another country compared to 22 million in 2000. In 2020, most emigrants out of Africa were from Eastern and Northern Africa.

However, if you don’t have the necessary knowledge, relocating to another abroad might be challenging. When deciding, you must consider some crucial factors, such as finance.

If you’re thinking of moving overseas, here are some strategies that some Africans have employed to relocate abroad.

Studying

This is the best alternative, particularly for young Africans and academicians who desire to migrate to another country, notably the United Kingdom.

Under the immigration system, this method allows students to study and stay in the country after graduation. 

From the United Kingdom’s home site, exceptional students are allowed to stay and contribute to society and the economy post-study under the points-based immigration system after completing the study.
