If you're able to work as a freelancer, consider looking into the Dutch-American Friendship Treaty (DAFT). Basically, you start a company in the Netherlands with €4500 set aside for it, and you get residency for two years. You can continue renewing the visa every two years as long as your business isn't dormant. This is how my wife and I moved to the Netherlands last year. The main catch is that you legally will not be allowed to be a full-time employee anywhere, so any money you make has to come through your business. You can have a full-on "BV" where you pay yourself a salary, which comes with nice tax benefits, but it's more complex to set up than the "eenmanszaak," which basically just means you're a freelancer. Alternatively, you could just get a job at a company with an office over here. However, your residency will of course be contingent on your employment. Many companies here don't require that you speak Dutch since virtually everyone in the country is fluent in English, and much business is conducted in English. My understanding is that Portugal is another easy place to move to. However, it's a bit more difficult. I don't know the specifics, but I think you need to buy property valued at €200k or higher or something. It's cheaper than the Netherlands, but English is less spoken, and my understanding is that there's a huge influx of immigrants (especially American) which are driving up the cost of living for locals.
