> Yeah, I've noticed that Europe and Japan are almost impossible to move to. Why do you say that? I've moved here 4 years ago, it was a bit of a hassle to get the work permit, but it wasn't that bad. Basically if you can earn the equivalent of more than about ~45k usd/year, or are a student (and one of a few specific professions- like artists and musicians) it's not that hard to get into the EU. And coming here with a tourist visa and staying until you manage to get a work permit is much easier than in the US - even getting a tourist visa can be quite difficult in the US, where as as long as you are from a 1st world country you don't even need to apply for one to come to the EU.
