I'm a mobile software engineer with 10+ years in the industry
new zealand; i was a software engineer up until a few weeks ago and did some homework on where i could move a couple years back.
they'll "fast track" you to permanent residency status in 4 years instead of 10 (you'll need more time to become a citizen) and they'll want you to take tests to prove that you're capable.
spanish is the easiest language to learn for english speakers and spain will do it in 2 years with no tests; only proof that you worked as a sofware engineer (you can get eu citizenship after that) and they don't care if you know how to speak spanish or not, but they will test you and make you take spanish language courses if you can't.
Depends, New Zeland bans atleast people with Autism if not others from immigrating
I googled this because I was curious, and it doesn't look like they have a blanket ban on people with autism. It seems they only exclude people who need expensive care.
(Not defending this policy, ofc. Just trying to get the facts right)

I would of course check with an immigration lawyer before committing to a plan to move, though.
