the visa part can be (as in many countries - except maybe as eu citizen in another eu country) a bit annoying.
as an engineer (programmer) you either need a degree or (documented) 10 yrs+ of work experience. if ou fulfill that you basically have to stick to the checklist of what to hand in in what form like sticking to an rfc. reason i mention this is that i heard of/from quite a couple of people who did not - going like "i did not have X so i handed in Y which is basically the same...". does not fly...
then you either need a company "sponsoring you' or have proof that you have enough income (ie. several contracts as a freelancer).
in the end it is less scary than many posts on the net make you (made me) think.
- cdavid 15y agoGetting a working visa is rather easy if you have a company sponsoring you - certainly much easier than for the US for a EU citizen, and much shorter. If the company has experience doing it, it can take less than 2 months between the very beginning and you getting the visa. You are almost guaranteed to get it if you have company sponsorship. OTOH, anything permanent is a chore.
