As Americans process the results of the November 5 presidential election, which handed Donald Trump a decisive victory in a surprising comeback, some are already looking abroad before the new administration begins in January.

For U.S. citizens unsettled by the domestic political climate or apprehensive about a Trump presidency, recent data shows that the U.K. has become a top choice for relocation.

Jobseeker, a popular employment search site, reported a staggering 900% increase in online searches related to moving to the U.K. between November 4 and November 6 as Trump’s win became apparent. The U.K. was second only to Canada, where such searches surged by 2,400%.

For Americans seeking a new start across the Atlantic, a Tier 2 skilled worker visa offers a viable route to the U.K.—if they have a job offer lined up.

The visa process depends on the applicant’s occupation, with numerous eligible professions listed on the U.K. government’s website. To qualify, workers must earn at least £38,700 (about $50,141) annually, a threshold lower than the average U.S. salary of $60,000.
