Re: Relocation to EU as a freelance programmer

being in the situation you are, why not explore the world... you could pretty much work from anywhere. I actually explored many parts of europe already. I think i visited more then 30 times to different countries in the EU. Besides, "exploring the world continuasly" would require me to go above my ...

Re: Relocation to EU as a freelance programmer

And generally speaking in most countries, replacing a sponsor (either because he fired you / closed your department or because you yourself want to change company) - Do you have a few months at least to try and do that before they kick you out and you have to continue searching from your origin coun...

Re: Relocation to EU as a freelance programmer

Europe imports tens of thousands from rest of world to do its programming now, on both Tier 2 and EU migration routes. The thing I'm so afraid of with getting a sponsored job, is that if something happens before I get my citizenship (which is a reasonable assumption since its a few years), I get ki...

Re: Relocation to EU as a freelance programmer

Some of the guys here at work are asking me why to go through all this trouble if all i'm doing is to sit at my hotel room / apartment and work with my laptop. And just go the route asking for residence without work permit for as long as i want to stay freelance and do my thing.

Do they have a point?

Re: Relocation to EU as a freelance programmer

Try the EU Immigration Portal , but your best bet is to come to the EU on a sponsored work visa and acquire citizenship, typically in 5-10 years. Then you can go free-lance. In 5-10 years i hope to be retired from all this programming... i'm 34 now :) Let's call that plan B. I actually just looked ...

Re: Relocation to EU as a freelance programmer

Nationality is Israeli. Based on this, I am presuming that you are of Jewish heritage (I am aware that 20% of Israelis are Arabs, but I am going with the majority). Many Jews (mostly Ashkenazi) living in Europe were deprived of the citizenships of their European countries in the 1930s and 40s. Many...

And which EU countries issue visas for people wanting to relocate as self-employed?

Re: Relocation to EU as a freelance programmer

Nationality is Israeli. So i don't need a visa just to travel to EU.
But no EU passport.
I'm looking for countries who will basically let me stay for as long as i can afford it as a freelancer. (more then 1-2 years).
