Neither of those would be barriers if they had plenty of money to move to Europe. That's kind of what "can't afford" means.

  "Can buy a plane ticket" is pretty different from "Is affluent and skilled enough to not be a net negative to social programs".

    I like your enthusiasm but you don't become an EU citizen just by buying an air ticket. :)

      Well you can probably become a de facto EU permanent resident by buying a ticket on a smuggling boat. EU member states don't actually deport many undocumented immigrants regardless of what the official immigration laws say.
