In theory, for us Brits we are allowed to go and live permanently, no questions asked, in any country in the european union. We are all one big happy family. I didn't have any trouble living and working in Holland at all - probably because the Dutch don't like making a fuss, but anyway. All I had to do was register with the police, who just said shrugged their shoulders and said 'Thanks, bye', and get a SOFI (tax) number. That was it.
I'd love to move to a med country. Spain, or preferably Italy.
On the other hand, from what I've heard from friends, unless you have a close blood relative of the country your moving to, it's easier and less painless to cut off your arm than get a job outside the EU. America, and OZ, are particular bastards in this respect. I guess that's the same for Yanks and Ozzies trying to work here, but if you went to ANY bar in London it certainly doesn't seem that way!
Anyway, who wants to work over here ? It's the most expensive country on the planet !!!
