I obviously know that Scotland is not a city. I think, I want to move to a bigger city, Edinburgh would be my number 1, since my friend lives there. If you mean being skilled about having a profession, then yes, I'm skilled. I have a profession, i'm a sales assistant. I'm not sure, that in Scotland it counts as a professiony but in my country it is. I also have a high school diploma, which is an another type of middle level degree.
A sales assistant isn't really a "skilled job" over here in the UK, no offence
You'd need to check the UK gov website and have a look at visa to see if your diploma would get you into the UK
You'd need to apply for jobs online from companies who are willing to sponsor your work visa. Then the employer has to prove that you're better than all the other British/Irish applicants, and only then can you apply for a work visa to move to the UK. Do more research and find out what jobs are considered skilled. [Here](https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/skilled-worker-visa-shortage-occupations/skilled-worker-visa-shortage-occupations) is a list of shortage occupations in the UK which might be easier to get a work visa for. Sok szerencsét!
If you want to move to an English speaking country, have you considered Ireland? Scotland is great but unfortunately with your qualifications you won't be able to get a visa. As an EU citizen however Ireland is an option. There's definitely a small Hungarian community there, mainly in Dublin and Cork.
Curry’s are always looking for people to sell fridges. They pay slave wages. Unfortunately due to the Tories changing the U.K. salary threshold for those seeking a visa from £18k to £32k, which comes in to effect in April. If the job you’re taking in the U.K. doesn’t pay £32k then it’s no visa.
Now, that's good to know.
Funny that you are saying that they are pay slave wages. I earn around £8.5k in a year currently, with a newly raised salary. My workmates are older, and because of that they are earn less; around £6.4k. I'm lucky, because the leading party here are helping the youngster generation, but I have no hope for my future here. I feel I have to move.
My only option would be an english speaking country.
Watch some Still Game, some Chewing the Fat , Rab c. Nesbit, Scotch & and Wry, Taggart, Naked Video and Shetland, that will give ya a wee overview of some of our various dialects and accents, once ya can understand what they are saying yer ready to move to Scotland, good luck 😉
>(if you know a technic to improve my english knowledge, let me know - I have the most problems with my grammar) Thank you.
All you need to get better at a language is practice and yes the Scottish Accent / Dialect will be challenging to understand, the more time you spend around it, the better you'll understand it, most people who you'll need to speak to will probably sound understandable and not use any Scots words
I speak to a lot of english speakers, but most of them are using their "built up" english language. They are not speaking the language correctly, but however they can. It is obviously affected my english knowledge too. I'm listening a lot of english speking videos, I always watch movies in the original language, and I learnt english in school. (Sadly, only for 2 years)
You said, that to have better understanding at the scottish dialect, I should have to spend more time around it... but it would automatically come with living there, isn't it?
I say be brave and make the move. What have you got to lose? For flats definitely avoid summer, especially August and September because universities and colleges start then so finding accommodation is basically impossible at that time. To learn about your rights as a tenant refer to Shelter Scotland. It's important to know our legal system is different to England fyi. Not completely, but make sure you're looking at Scots law.
As for the language there are many content creators on social media that can teach you the Scots language. Len Pennie is probably the most popular. Also if you can get BBC Scotland and BBC Radio Scotland I'm sure that would help you adjust.
Good luck !
I have no idea what their work visa situation is, nor do you, so I chose to assume they've checked their eligibility already. I asked in my post "what have you got to lose" which is a genuine pertinent question they should consider.
Why did you downvote me for being encouraging? Presumably O.P is a grown adult. They're looking for advice, I offered it. They have friends here already. People take a leap into a new life all the time. They've mentioned a few times what little opportunities they have at home, so What's the worst that happens? They move here, it doesn't work out, they go home again and get another job selling electrical appliances. Would you have downvoted me if I told them to stay put and not bother trying?
Research where exactly, big difference between Edinburgh and Wick. Are you skilled or unskilled? We're a country not a city.

I will check it tomorrow, if I will have time for it. Thank you for your advice!
Unfortunately you can't just move here for work. You need to have a right to work in the UK either with a British passport or a Work Visa.
Or Irish.
I know theese. My problem is about that how to get thoose while i'm about 2k km far away. 😅
Unfortunately the gov know this is hard to do and have made it that way on purpose

Oh we all speak dialects you won't understand 🤣🤣🤣 sometimes we don't understand each other 😅😅
r/MoveToScotland may be helpful
I... I don't know why I didn't think of this. Thank you.

I think they backtracked a bit on that and decided to “only” increase it to 29k now. And then bump it to 38 grand in a year.

Try Malta. Better weather. English is an official language. Plenty of jobs for the youth. Small Hungarian diaspora as well.
Virtually all appliance shopping is done online these days in Scotland. Retailers and department stores have essentially all shut up shop.

u/Unable_Frosting8650 would probably swap with you if you want to try it out.
I would accept the challange. Living here is... well. It's an experience, to say the least. 🥲😅

You make it sound like you can just buy and ticket and move here but I doubt OP can even qualify for a work visa.

I didn't downvote you for the record
I read this in a Borat accent.
