I think the place to start is looking at the immigration laws in the countries you like. Then jobs in you field in the countries in question. Then you can go from that to looking at the housing market and how much renting/buying costs.

That's what I'm thinking. I've heard some countries (especially yours) are notoriously hard to immigrate to. I'm a chef, which is kind of a double-edged sword: there's always a market for me, but it's also a job you pretty much have to interview in person for.

I really wish this wasn't so complicated and risky.

Yeah, it's a shame Sweden is becoming so closed of from everything outside the EU. But i think Sweden isn't to hard I think. you just need to get a job but i guess that is very hard with today's job market. But i can't find anything on moving permanently.

It's unfortunate that both my jobs make it hard to get a job outside of the country. I work in welfare programs for our state government, but that won't really transfer; then I'm a chef, but I figure I'd have to apply/interview in person for that anyway.

We started doing this a couple years ago, and we've got plans in the works. The hardest part is just making sure immigration will go smoothly and we'll have a job and place to live.
