Unlike the USA, EU countries don't have a visa lottery. Unless you are moving for family reunification, or have a specific job offer for a skilled position and you have the requisite qualifications, you cannot move to Europe.
2 :
If you have no claim to citizenship of an EU member state then you need to apply for a visa to live & work in the one of the countries you're interested in Look at the websites for the Embassies of Germany, Belgium & The Netherlands, they will have information on applying for visas German Embassy http://www.germany.info/Vertretung/usa/en/04__Legal/02__Directory__Services/01__Visa/__Visa.html Belgian Embassy http://www.diplobel.us/TravelingBelgium/Visas/Employees.asp Embassy of The Netherlands http://dc.the-netherlands.org/Services/Consular_services/Visa Go to your local library or nearest big bookstore, in the travel section there should be books about living & working in those countries, they should go through the legal ins & outs of living there and offer advice on finding work If you google you'll also find forums for Americans living in various European countries offering advice on how to move to them.

Do you mean you applied for the EHIC card? If so then this covers you only as a tourist in the Netherlands and only for emegency cover, so e.g. going to a doctor for a routine issue is not covered only. it is only for emegencies and may not even cover all costs anyway. An EHIC card issued by the UK is only for UK residents. http://www.fco.gov.uk/en/travel-and-living-abroad/staying-safe/travel-insurance/ehic As soon as you register at the gemeentehuis (municipality) which you will need to do in order to get a BSN number (like the UK NI number) in order to work, then you become a legal resident When you are legally residing in the Netherlands the EHIC card will not cover you, and all NL residents are required by law to have the basic health insurance cover. http://www.minvws.nl/en/themes/health-insurance-system/default.asp Now there is one possibility I know of if you are not working and that is claiming benefit under the E106 and you can read about this here http://www.nhs.uk/NHSEngland/Healthcareabroad/movingabroad/Pages/Livingabroad.aspx However as soon as you have work, then you will need Dutch health insurance.

Would like to move to Holland/Amsterdam - Advice on finding work and renting
Would like to move to Holland/Amsterdam - Advice on finding work and renting?
After a trip to Amsterdam a month ago i've been fixated on the idea of moving over there. Is there anyway I can just packup and go with my girlfriend? Everywhere I look for apartments they are looking at 2000 euro per month, even in Jordaan and Haarlem the rent is not that much cheaper. Any advice on housing would be appreciated. Secondly finding work is another problem... personally I have a background in IT and have found many specialist IT positions yet most require specialist experience or qualifications. I have college (UK BTEC) qualifications at the highest possible level before University and have a varied knowledge of all things IT and currently run an online store and offer local support. However any jobs I have heard back from won't consider an application till I have a Dutch Social Security number. Not that I want to be stuck in IT, i'd happily work in a bar/restaurant/coffeeshop or anywhere else in the city. Data entry would even get me by as the City is so wonderful. Is it easy to get a job? If I were to just packup, go and register with local police authorities in Amsterdam to say I now live there would I be able to claim Benefits to help me get by? And as for accomodation how would this work? Believe me I don't want to stay on benefits and i'm a hardworking individual. I just need to get out of England :). Kind regards and hopefully someone can help!

I'd think very carefully about moving to the Netherlands at the moment: the credit crisis has frightened everywhere, and many companies are just not hiring at the moment, particularly people who don't speak Dutch. Now isn't the time for anyone, anywhere, to be walking away from a certain job into the unknown. That said, IT skills are as in demand here as anywhere else try http://www.xpatjobs.com/ for an overview.

I moved to Amsterdam with my boyfriend 4months ago! First of all; finding a job is not easy; I searched for more than 6 months( I also have an IT background)I am Turkish so I found a Turkish company to get my dutch residence card; no dutch company wants to take you without your permission; unless you are very lucky.. And if you get the residence permit; you can take your gf with you and you dont have to be married for her to get the residence too; just live in the same house thats it.. But the rentals are very expensive.. I live in one of the best places in Amsterdam(called Overtoom);its very close to the center and a beautiful street near Vonedlpark; and I give 1500euros per month (including all expenses like gas;water..) but you can find cheaper houses if you want to move a little further from the center.. But be prepared the houses are really small here.. Amsterdam is a nice place to live (except the weather):) I hope you find a job:)

Well if your primary goal is to get stoned all the time and use marijuana habitiually then I suggest you stay in the UK as the usage rate in the UK is far higher than the Netherlands. It's tough enough to get a job in this current climate, but if you add to that the fact that you (a) don't speak Dutch (b) don't have any skills/education and (c) have a ethos which is actually contrary to that of the average Dutch person then I would say it's going to be nigh impossible for you Have you honestly thought this through? You will not be entitled to any form of benefit from the Dutch government so that rules out help with social housing, unemployment benefit etc. Getting accomodation in Amsterdam (which I presume is where you will gravitate towards) is not easy and it most definately is not cheap either. You are looking at paying around the รข‚¬700-900 for a basic one bedroom place (without a waiting list) in a not so great area and then you have to pay 2-3 months in advance anyway. Do you have that kind of money in your pocket? If you are serious then come over to the Netherlands and see for yourself. Don't just act and view the country as a tourist. Visit the job agencies to see your chances of getting employment and then what kind of salary level. Then check the accomodation situation and see for yourself. Talk to locals and you will see that everything I have said is bang on. Contrary to what you believe the drugs policy here is a pragmatic one designed to actually deter persons for having an addiction to any form of drugs but certainly not one designed to encourage it. Employers respect people have a choice to do as they wish with their homelife so long as it does not affect their working life. From the mere sentence of "I wanna go to Holland get stoned and work if i can to support my habit" sounds like you have things back-to-front and actually this is very child-like. Sorry but I talk from real-life and I guess it's time for a reality check! @ Mal, thx ;)

At age 35 you need to grow up, you sound like a 17 year old. Think about training to do some work and forget the cannabis. The Dutch are sick to the back teeth of foreigners going to Amsterdam to get stoned.

Doesn't make sense does it? .......and 'bla bla', you still amaze me with your infinite patience in answering what is really an unthought out, spur of the moment and probably a 'weed enhanced' question. :o)
