Way to assume. I love how literally everyone who criticizes Germany about being slow and inefficient is assumed to come from a place of privilege. If I missed by "servants" I'd be complaining about separating my garbage and having to make multiple trips to the recyclehof, not about bureaucracy sucking the life out of people.

india is itself infamous for escalating bureaucracy.
Yes, but many countries aren’t like this. In many countries, administration is efficient. Why compare yourself to one notorious for poor administration
this is a thread building up a context ... that's why.

anyway - what are those countries? everybody would like to know!

Switzerland, Scandinavia, AFAIK Estonia.

The UAE has excellent administration.

switzerland: possible - but many migrants complain about it being almost impossible to get accepted there beyond being a law abiding work force.

scandinavia: (not a country) strong contestants.

estonia: not really - i have several estonian friends who will give you a long list of reasons why germany is the better place to live and work. personally, i really like estonia. have been there many times.

uae (or singapure): sure ... but you are discrediting yourself by even mentioning those in this list or possibly considering them as a place to live.

first three are all in EU by the way - and very close to germany. so the good news is that you can just easily try to move there. have a nice trip.

I live in Switzerland already(and they are not in the EU).
