Im a 27 yo norwegian working in Norway as an EMT at the moment, who would like to relocate to somewhere in Latin America, preferably Brazil, Mexico, Panama or somewhere in the Carribean. Other countries could also be of interest, but I already have friends in the forementioned places. I have also lived in both Mexico and Brazil, and I really enjoyed both places, despite the somewhat lower comfort. The people are really friendly, and the girls are just stunning, especially in Panama. Not to mention the mexican food at least, is AMAZING....... But back on topic.
I have talked to a friend in Brazil but she said that just Brazilians can get a job in the public sector there. Which means that if I want that, I will have to give up my Norwegian citizenship to become a Brazilian, and thats not happening. I dont mind marrying to get a work permit, as long as its a girl I like and am compatible with.
However, something that really seems interesting is the "Operador Tactica de emergencias medicas" like here: resgatetatico.com.br (couldn´t post a link since its my first post)
Do they have anything similar in any of the other latin american countries that it is possible for foreigners to get a job if you get a work permit there or are married to someone from that country?
I would not take a job like that if its too risky though. From what I have heard about Brazil, they are well trained and equipped. But I can imagine, going up against the drug cartels in Mexico or Colombia, they would come up a bit short...
But a regular EMT job would also be of interest. From what I have read of the posts here, its several memers who has worked as EMTs in Mexico.
Of experience, I have a total of maybe 2,5-3 years experience as an EMT (first 2 years as an apprentice, then about 1,5 years working mostly part time), and 1,5 years of experience as a medic in the army, including 6 months in Afgh.
Both my spanish and portuguese is far from sufficient enough to work as an EMT there atm, but I am learning, and will of course get that up to par before applying for an EMT job.
So, anybody who has any experiences, ideas where to start, or other inputs, I would be very glad to hear from you!
Thanks
