Of course there is always a way around any requirement or law, it usually takes money or conections or both.
One of the unfortunate things about going to a new place on this planet is that one rarely has those things that can oil the machinery.
But then again, moving and making new starts is what makes life interesting and unless life is interesting, it is not worth living.
Some of my fondest memories are of times of struggle and and overcoming adversity.
That
IS Life!
