    1. I’m a Brit living in Norway – I tried to apply for the Appen one and it wouldn’t accept me as you have to have lived in your current region for at least 5 years. The Lionbridge page won’t work for me at all, unfortunately.

      1. I’m a Brit in Spain and it states that I must be living here for minimum 3 years. No chance of work unless you’re an established resident.
