I think you can move to Canada to purse a course in a community college. Not a degree but a 2 year course. Can you get a loan from your home contry ? If so you can move to Canada spend 2 years studying/earning and you will be set. You will have to take a loan to cover your airfare and first semester college fees. Worth exploring I suppose.
It sounds interesting. How do I do that? Can you explain a bit more?
What is your thinking behind "the country is getting worse?" What is the threshold between "it is bad but ill carry on" and " I need to move out?" What are the factors? Genuinly interested as these types of decisions are immensly interesting.
Reasons why I am thinking my country is getting worse: 1) Currency. Its value just keep sinking. 2) Safety. What I fear the most is terrorism. There are a bunch of people in the name of religion doing scary things at night just because they think you're wrong. But cops don't care. I honestly never saw cops fight those people. It's scary. 3) Government. Something is wrong here. Even if next year we will have a preside…
2. Can't help you there.
3. This is a problem pretty much all over. Everyone has a different opinion about it,but I believe globalization has caused a dramatic increase in competition, which creates stress, leading people to act irrational and short sighted. Cooler heads will prevail.
I'm not trying to convince you to stay, just to use what resources you do have.

You could try to get sponsored by an employer. We've had two or three folks start out in different countries come to the US through our company. Each started as a contractor and became an employee. I'm not sure the success rate of this technique.
Are you referring to H1Bs or a different Visa? I couldn't even get an H1B from inside with a sponsor due to the lottery. Damn the "RNG."
You seem smart and honest and I hope it works out for you. I also feel that my country is getting worse, and I also don't know where to go, but I live in a "first-world" country (UK) and have relatively high wealth for my age thanks to starting my own company 7 years ago (when I was in my early 20s) and having decent luck with it. But I also want to get out, and some facts about my life and minority status make it qu…
If you're a good front-end dev, try remote work as others suggested. It's probably your best bet to gather some money and grow from there on. If higher education is free or affordable in Indonesia, I'd suggest going there to study first and get yourself a degree. This will make everything, including migration, much easier in the future.
