When I was applying for the freelancer visa in Austria the requirement was 100k, not 10k. Not sure if a typo or if stuff changed.

- wprapido 11y agonah. it's 10k for germany. austria seems way more xenophobic and way more hostile
- rurban 11y agoWorked in all 3, Austria, Germany, US. Germany is indeed the best, but only if you can work remote for a US company.
- wprapido 11y agogerman developer salaries are crap. in europe, only UK, switzerland and norway pay better for developers (UK is pretty decent if you are a contractor), but COL is fairly high, too
- ido 11y agoMy impression was that developer salaries were not much if any higher in the UK than in Germany (currency fluctuation may have changed that at the moment, but both seemed to be about 1/2 to 2/3 or US rates last I checked).
- superplussed 11y agoJust a FYI, but before I recently got a blue card for working at a startup in Berlin, I'd applied for my second free-lancers Visa. I sheepishly showed the officer that I had like 3k in the bank at the time, and she give me a bit of a scolding and told me that it wasn't enough, and then proceeded to give me a 2 year visa.
