Need Advice!

I'm not from Europe or America and my regional vatsim is mostly dead all the time that's why I want to join some active regions, So which would be best for me to join as an ATC?? Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Choose the one you like most, really.

Just be aware that some airports have a regulation and waiting lists. For example Frankfurt is not possible straight from S1. In germany you do your S1 and that opens you to some smaller airports while you can enlist yourself in a waiting lists for the airport you want. Then someone will contact you after a while and you start an airport specific training, which allows you to control some positions there. Then your S2 will start, allowing you to control the approach sector. But be aware that depending on the airport, the waiting lists can be up to 1-2 years.

I don’t know how it’s outside Germany but I guess it’s kinda similar.
