The two biggest issues will likely be language and immigration laws, and these might greatly affect where you move to. My move was through marriage, so my experience differs (language classes were provided free, for example, and other benefits).<p>First things first, check the immigration laws to see if they allow what you are wanting - a remote job while moving there willingly. If not, you might have to look for work.<p>In Norway, most folks need to speak Norwegian well to work. English helps me, but it just isn't enough on its own, despite what people (including many Norwegians) seem to think. However, many in the tech field have English workplaces, and if I remember correctly, there are job seeking permits available (if not, you do get 3 months of staying visa free in most of the EU and Schengen area, and it is probably similar in other countries.<p>You may or may not be able to apply to immigrate inside your target country. You might have to travel in the US to their embassy, and have a long wait time. You might need proof of income and savings and other such things, and you will likely need to apply for (and pay) immigration for each family member seperately. You also might be required to pay for language courses at least for yourself, but your children will likely be simply taught at school. Your wife, coming along as family, may or may not be able to work without additional immigration work (which can likely be changed later on). If she doesn't hold a degree, she might need to be willing to accept things like cleaning work.<p>Your degree might need verified by an authority in the country, and that can take some time as well, but this may or may not be an issue.<p>Good Luck.
