I think you should apply for permanent residency first. Once you get it start applying, or even better, go to your target city and rent short term housing and try to find something fast. Being local always helps, and you definitely want to advertise that you have a work permit already.
- jmspring 14y agoGiven my wife is a German national and we are married, the whole work permit process is easier. It does require registering with the local municipality and some paperwork, but nothing near other situations. As I mentioned, our situation would likely allow for mutually transferring to the EU under our current employers. That said, in both cases you are away from the mothership and the options are a little less appealing. The main point of the question really is trying to understand how one approaches the job market in the EU. My wife's experience is slightly dated from the last time she looked. Thanks all for the input.
