Can I legally leave the country when I am 18 even though I live in Nebraska?

Okay. I know that I need a passport, I have a passport. I know I will need a visa, I am working on that. I have enough money, don't worry about that. I am planning on moving to France.

France is an EU country. This means getting a work visa can be difficult. (Hint: read about the UK and Brexit.)

Additionally, their education is different, so getting a student visa to study at university would be challenging. Unless you are far more brilliant than you writing here paints you, that's just not happening.

As for school, I have all of this figured out. I don't need anyone to tell me all these extra things. I have thought about this for over 2 years now.

"All these extra things" matter. You don't have it all figured out - that's why you're posting here.

I just need to know if I go into another state when I am the age of 18 and rent an apartment if I can then freely and legally leave the country. I am currently a resident of Nebraska, where the legal age of adulthood is 19. That means, in case you didn't know, I am still under the control of my parents. So if I try to leave the country when I am 18 and living in Nebraska (once again the legal age of adulthood is 19) and my parents don't want me to go (which I already know they do not want me to go) they can call the police and I will be taken back home, because I am not yet an adult in Nebraska. I am asking If I go into another state where the legal age of adulthood is 18 and rent an apartment there, if I can then freely and legally leave the country? I am asking if I go into a state and rent an apartment and then am a resident of that state, and my parents call the police saying they want me home if the police can take me back to Nebraska.

Try joining the military. See exotic places.

WE get it: your parent are overbearing control freaks, just like every adult that replied in this thread, and you know everything.

Where is that passport, physically? Where is the money, and under whose control? How old is the man/woman you plan to hook up with in France, and how well do you know them? Have you actually met them, like in person?
