Formal education (university degree) is required to get a work visa pretty much everywhere. I think this is why you get rejected all the time.

  Technically, it isn't required for the Netherlands. Germany requires a degree for work visa, but makes an exception for tech industry, so it's not required there either, if you go by the rules. However, a friend got his visa for Germany turned down because he didn't have a degree.

    Yep -- Germany LOVES the degree (the fact that they love certifications and titles is so true). I have a colleague without a degree working as a software developer, but for me they required a photo copy of my diploma for whatever reason.

      > but for me they required a photo copy of my diploma for whatever reason. If you went to Austria instead (of Germany), you probbably would have needed a notarially certified copy of your diiploma (there is a true story behind this sarcastic remark). ;-)

        Just wow. I don't know what they hope to gain from these pieces of paper, but alright :D
