Which European country is easiest to immigrate to?

Question

I know places like England and Ireland are difficult to immigrate to, if you dont have any family or job lined up, just wondering if other European countries are the same and which ones are the easiest to immigrate to? Thanks!

Answer 1

England, Ireland and the rest of the EU/EEA countries are exceedingly difficult to emmigrate to with a view to living and working these days

Due to large people movements within the EU and waves of immigration from outside in the last 10/15 years, then immigration policies have been tightened up and therefore unless you hold an EU/EFTA passport it is very difficult.

You will either need to be (a) self-employed and show evidence of a thiving business (b) a highly skilled migrant with skills/experience which are in demand in Europe (and usually already receiving a high salary in your domestic country) or (c) sponsored by a company - and this is only normally done in the case that they cannot fulfil the job from the pool of labour within the EU or that you have specialist knowledge/experience

Also in principle you will need to speak the language of the country you work in (although there are exceptions to this if the company is an International one whose working language is e.g. English)

There are small differences but there generally the policies are very similar and restrictive for all EU/EEA & also Switzerland is equally or even harder from what I read, but I do not know about the non-EU ones.

The best thing to do in order to get accurate info including viability & time is to contact the embassy of the country you are interested in. They can provide you the official information (and often a lot of this is online e.g. for the UK and Netherlands it is anyway)

Answer 2

As SUE already said it non EU countries.

This means some eastern european, south european, caucasus.... But then it is not a rule. For example Belarus, a non EU country is very hard to get into.

But then if you have means, it is easy to immigrate anywhere u want in Europe.

Answer 3

non EU countries...because EU rules are the same (or pretty close) as England and Ireland.

So, much of Eastern Europe.  

But it DOES depend where YOU are from.

Answer 4

STAY AWAY FROM OUR BEAUTIFUL CONTINENT.
