Answering for Germany, Berlin/Munich in particular.
1. You'll need a bachelor's degree in your field, but you won't need a masters. That said, getting a masters may give you a leg up. Postgrad education in Germany is free even for international students, the standar is high, and it gives you the opportunity to get your German up to an acceptable level. Additionally, you will have 12 months following graduation to find a full-time job. If you're looking to work for a bigger Germany company like Siemens, BMW etc., I'd seriously consider the masters.
2. Research job openings before you go. Tailor your CV. Two places to look are AngelList, and also http://berlinstartupjobs.com/ http://berlinstartupjobs.com/ Applying online has always worked for me, but you may also want to go to some meetups while you're there. Berlin Tech Meetup https://www.meetup.com/b-tech/ https://www.meetup.com/b-tech/ is one of the largest.
3. Develop your portfolio. I had plenty of Indian colleagues at several of the companies I worked at.
Try RemoteOK as well.
- mushfiq 9y ago"you will have 12 months following graduation to find a full-time job." Its actually 18 months.
- atroyn 9y agoSorry yes, 18 is correct.

- lonesword 9y agoI do have a bachelor's in my field. But I did not get my degree from Europe. That would not help, right?
- atroyn 9y agoIt won't matter. You need the bachelor's degree in your field to get a work visa, but it need not be from Europe.
- atroyn 9y agoCan't edit so I'd also like to add : Germany has a freelancer visa. If you can prove you have clients, contracts in the pipeline, and some savings, it's a matter of bringing some documents and filling out a form at the Ausländerbehörde.
