Not really. Germany, Austria, etc. have a "labor shortage" so they rubber stamp just about any work visa.
Or, you emigrate as a university student, that's what most do to get around the stricter labor visa rules, and you can easily find a non-top-10% university that will accept anyone to study something easy like "English studies". As long as you pay the tuition fee(very low in most EU countries), nobody will ask you anything.
My American mate who emigrated here for welfare, doesn't work officially, just enrolls in a new university every 2-3 years as an "English student" to get his visa renewed and earns a living by doing private English lessons for cash on the side, and there's others like him as well.
So if you know the system and the loopholes, it's pretty easy to exploit. Talking to Bosnians, Indians, and other non-EU immigrants, the more I learn about the various exploits.

I'm German, my employer is attempting to hire someone from former Yugoslavia, and HR has been dealing with getting shitwalled by the local Ausländerbehörde for months now. We've resorted to paying him all the effort required to set him up as a freelancer in his home country, deal with taxes and other crap, until the Ausländerbehörde gets their shit together.
- FirmwareBurner 3y agoThat's an orthogonal issue. The fact that the state authorities are overwhelmed and take forever to give out the rubber stamps is orthogonal to my statement that they're very willing to give away the rubber stamps. My statement was that it's very easy to pass the conditions of getting a work visa, not that the German government is fast and efficient at work.
