If you have enough cash to support yourself for that long it probably is not a problem, but if you think you are going to go to Scotland, New Zealand, Canada or Mexico and get a JOB, those countries have a number of hoops to jump through.
I ran into the immigration lawyer a few days ago, he said, "people don't know how hard it is to immigrate to this country (Canada)".
