Living & Working in Europe: 2006
Actually living and working in Europe can be a great form of travel. But how do you find a good job overseas? Do you know of any helpful books or websites for Americans who want to live or work in Europe? Share your thoughts here. No questions please.
Read "Getting Out: Your Guide to Leaving America" by Mark Ehrman. It specifically addresses these issues.

Permits and Visas
If you are wanting to simply stay in a particular country for more than the 3 alloted months as a TOURIST only, you can apply in some countries for a TOURIST VISA. Usually good for about 6 months. However, you have to prove very clearly that a) you can completely support yourself financially without working the entire time or resorting to "public funds", b) you will be returning to the US and NOT staying in their country! Also, you will NOT be allowed to work. However, if you plan on MOVING to an EU country to live and possibly work, you MUST have a visa or permit (whichever is suitable for your situation) no matter what length of time you plan on staying (unless, of course, you are working for a US company and are simply there on business for a short period of time). This seems to be pretty much the case across the board in the EU.

Work for a US Company
As I understand it, guides working for Europe Through The Back Door in Europe have no problem staying more than three months. Working for a US company, which provides their documentation as employees, makes it possible to stay for extended periods.
USA Wed 11/22/2006
The rule applies to all non-EU citizens. You cannot stay more than 3 months without getting a work permit, student visa or other long term residence permit.
I believe that some countries will allow you to stay 6 months if you apply, but you would almost certainly need to apply prior to leaving the US and show proof of enough funds for food, housing, medical care etc since you won't be permitted to work in the EU.
Well in advance of any trips, you need to do your research carefully for each country you intend to visit and make sure you have enough funds for your intended itinerary.
It may seem a bit daunting, but good pre-trip preparation can help you avoid having to leave suddenly to avoid a black mark on your record.

Scotland, regarding staying in the EU for no more than three months total
Scotland, I know this is the Living & Working in Europe forum and this may seem like a silly question to you, but does the rule for staying in the EU for no more than three months total without a permit apply ONLY to those who would like to live or work in Europe? Or, do those who ONLY wish to travel throughout Europe while on vacation also
need to apply for a permit to stay for more than three months?
Thank you to all in advance.
USA Sat 11/18/2006
Greetings Unless you have a residency permit and/or work permit, you cannot stay in the EU for more than 3 months total. After that period of time you must leave the EU - not sure for how long - before returing. They do check passports and it's NOT worth the risk of being caught because you can be banned from entering that country for a certain period of time and have a black mark on your record.
Also, be aware that to stay in Europe for an extended period of time, you must be able to show proof of fund to cover all expenses. You have to be able to pay for medical care, food, housing etc etc.
That said, there are visas in some countries for retired persons who are not going to work and have enough funds. You would have to research this for each country.
Also, if you are self-employed you must apply for the right to remain if you are staying for more than three months. I don't know about other EU countries, but in the UK the right to remain paperwork is separate from a work permit. And if you are making any money, you must have some kind of work permit or be on certain kinds of visa. Again, NOT worth the risk to try and do without. With higher security and increased border controls, you don't want to end up with a black mark on your record.
That said, there are many legal ways to work in the EU, though it's not easy without some connection.

living working in Europe
My husband and I are hoping to be able to spend our winters in Nice Villefranche sur mer or Antibes after we retire in a couple of years I know this is far in advance but I would like to knno how to find inexpensive apartments (studio type) not vaction villas or holiday rentals which are over $1,000 Euros per month Would it be helpful for me to learn french so I can converse with locals would asking the people at the restaurants and hotels we frequent help. People who actually live in these places especially Nice and work in the stores etc. must live somewhere. What is the best way to find these places
also the three month limit is that per country or total time out of the usa consecutively. For example if we leave france for 48 hours or more during that time do we get another 90 days If this is so how do they know since you seldom get a passport stamped in Europe anymore Except when you inter the first time and somethimes not even then when you do like we did once and went through the eu line they just looked at our passport and let us through this was our first time in Europe and I miss read the sign and the line was much shorter but flying from amsterdam to Barcelona when we arrived there was no passport control at all we just got our luggage and walked out the door

Working in Europe
The easiest way to get a job in Europe is to start your own business. There is no work permit required because you are not taking anyone elses job. You are creating your own job.

Expat resources
I am an American working for two years in Paris, luckily with a work visa.
A good resource for getting yourself mentally perpared for the move is to do some reading. I did many hours of reading on several websites:
http://www.expatica.com
http://www.parisfranceguide.com
http://www.americansinfrance.net
I would also encourage you to follow blogs of American expats living abroad. This will help you see what you are getting into. Find a blog that roughly mirrors your family (for instance, find one that is a couple with kids if you also have kids). It might take a bit of searching to find ones that interest you. To get you started:
http://www.expat-blog.com/en/directory/western-europe/france/
Finding a good blog can be fun. Before I moved here, I was following this one:
http://parisdaily.hi-fipop.com
Unfortunately the author has since moved back the the US. But all of her entries are archived on the site.

Acquire Dual Citizenship
I recently read that some countries are offering dual citizenship status to individuals who have a European-born ancestor. Proof of that person's birth in Europe would be required. If a U.S. citizen could qualify and acquire a European passport, this could ease the "living and working in Europe" situation.

Working abroad
I obtained a 6 month visa through a program called Bunac which proved to be an excellent way to travel and earn money while living in the UK. You just have to be within 6 months of being a full-time student and you'll be accepted into the program and must pay a small fee. Check out bunac.org.uk for more info. I had the time of my life and met my husband...I dragged him back to Texas with me! :)

Living and Working in Europe
I am very fortunate to have an EU citizen for a husband. This means living and working in any EU country is a snap. Currently we are living in the UK and I just found a full time job. Because of my husband's status as an EU citizen, I don't need any sort of special work visa as that is taken care of through the EEA Family Permit which I hold. I have found living in the UK to be not terribly different than living in the US. The biggest difficulties have been missing friends and family. But there's not a lot of time to miss them when I can hop the tube and be at the British Museum in 30 minutes! :)

I am interested working throughout Europe for a year, perhaps teaching english. If anyone has done this I would love to hear your experience and advice you have on this subject. I am hoping to work in several cities over the year.

A clarification...
At least in the EU, if you are receiving any money in exchange for a product or service, you must have a work permit or other appropriate visa. If you get caught working without a visa - and with the recent added security, immigrations officials are not likely to be lax, the consequences could be considerable - i.e. being banned from a country for several years and/or paying a large fine.
So, the best advice is to find a job through the proper channels and not risk working without a visa. If you're not sure about your situation, check the website for the country in question - there may be certain exceptions for freelancers, but don't assume anything.
There are jobs out there - it's just a matter of searching a little luck!

living overseas
There are a lot of ways to manage your life by working overseas. First there is the issue of the work visa...but some places do not need it if you are working freelance, for example, as a
photographer. Then, there are accomodations. ranging from renting a furnished flat [recommended, after all, you need furniture, and buying it means having to sell it later or shipping it, which will cost too much money]... or housesitting. Housesitting will solve many problems as some people need a longterm housesitter...if you housesit you may recieve a small fee, or simply live rentfree. The houses are already stocked with what you need [except food]... and they will feel so much more like home. Another alternative is to find a flatmate... if so ALWAYS CHECK REFERENCES! The internet helps to search for room-mates, flats, rentals, house-sitting etc.. even for finding overseas volunteer positions too. Some volunteer jobs will offer accomodations and even light meals.
Internet access is sometime free and included with soe furnished flats,so using that to your advantage will save you a lot of money. In fact, having your own simple notebook computer and getting free internet access is the best bet for privacy, convenience and
portability. The cost at some internet cafes can be quite reasonable though, and will offer even an annual membership, with unlimited access....this is great if you are staying nearby and if the hours of operation suit you. Consider getting whatever railpass or tubepass is applicable too,.. that way youare carrying very little cash. If staying in London you might want to get a short term safety deposit box to keep your valuables in, in case of theft.
Tesco offers great prices for lunch items, snacks and toiletries, do not pass them by!
Also, whileliving overseas, take advantage of the intercontinental flights that are cheap and readily booked.. this way YOU can extend your travels, further than you thought, even for just a short weekend trip . Imagine living in London, and spending little weekend trips in Prague, Paris,
Vienna, Athens, etc. Lovely!

Greetings I would look down the lists of posts for information posted before on working in the EU. You need to start by researching the work requirements in France and whether there's a demand for English teachers. I would Google around to see if France has the equivalent of the websites countries like UK and Denmark for attracting foreign workers. My guess is that the need is probably well met by people from the UK who can work under EU law, but it's worth a try.
Given the time and money both you and your employers will likely have to go through in order to secure work permits, I suspect that few if any places will take anyone for just 6 months. It's not worth the hassle when it could take that long just to sort things out.
Your best bet might be to see if there is any exchange program for teachers - I assume you have some sort of certification. Participating in this kind of program might not require so much paperwork and thus be more feasible for a 6 month stay.

Work & Residency Permits
Kate has it well put.
My advice is to apply for a European position with a US company that has an opening in their offices abroad .... unless you own a EU passport your chances of finding good pay over here are slim - there are laws protecting EU citizens -your employeer proove to the 'city employment office' that only YOU are qualified for that job - which would be hard since umemployment is high and the qualifications of available workers are high. You can apply for a work permit (limited to the above schema) at the employment office, they should have listings of jobs you may 'apply' to in your area...good luck!
For residency, you must report to the city office - prepare to show proof of financial independancy and medical insurance...fees are applicable everywhere.
Tourists can stay legally 90 days.
I'd definitely be wary of accepting work without going through the work permit process ... it obviously is done, but it's illegal.
The State Department and local consulants are good starts while in the US - check the homepage of the embassy of the country where you plan to go ... some of them will link you onto some good information

READING AND SENDING EMAIL ABROAD
I see the question asked frequently about cheap access to email.
When I was in Sweden and Finland I learned that the public libraries offer free use of internet services.
Usually one is limited to 30 minutes, but during slow periods the librarian let me use the computer for a longer period.
So I would ask directions to the nearest public library and ask at the informaiton desk about using a computer.

Living in Italy
Whoops - you were talking about living, rather than specifically working in Italy.
Non-EU citizens normally are limited to 3 months, sometimes 6 months within in the EU. To stay longer you must either get a job & work permit, or, get a long term visa. I'm not sure of the rules in Italy - you should check on the page for the Italian Government or the Italian Consulate nearest you. At least in the UK, you can come over for an extended period if you can prove that you have enough funds to completely support yourself as you will not be eligible for any goverment benefits, including medical care etc.
So I would check out the possible visas, depending on your situation. And then decide if it's feasible. Be aware that you generally cannot switch to a long term visa within the country, so you should plan & get visas before leaving the US.
Good luck!

Nursing - unfortunately this is not a great time to be looking for a nursing job in the UK unles you have an EU passport. The government has very recently removed junior nursing jobs from the list of jobs on the 'shortage' list and apparently hospitals are being instructed not to hire non-EU nurses unless the job cannot be filled from within in the EU. (I think this is partly an attempt to deal with the influx of workers from new EU nations, and also to stop the 'brain drain' from African and Asian countries - whether it's a good step is debatable). However, if you have more than a couple of years of experience,you may still be able to find a job. Your best bet is to google for nursing and the UK, and look at some of the websites for agencies that help place foreign nurses. There is a FAQ (http://www.adevia.com/faq.html#UK) which indicates that you must take an English test and undergo a period of formal training.
Registration is done through the Nursing and Midwifery Council: http://www.nmc-uk.org/aSection.aspx?SectionID=6
One example: http://www.adevia.com/faq.html
As to working in Italy, read my posts below. Unless you have an EU passport or are working in one of the 'priority' fields, it's not easy to get a job in the EU. The best plan is to do a lot of research on the web - look at the Italian government website to educate yourelf on the job prospects/priority job fields and the visa requirements. Almost always, you need to have job and work permit before arriving in the country, so if your prior research suggests that a job may be a possibility, you'll then need to have a CV ready to send out to businesses. I think that there is also an EU wide job search website - do some googling for it.

I have been fortuned enough to get into the I.T. boom in the late 90's (starting in 1998). I found work in Zurich for 2 years (and they paid for my expenses along with a salary), I then went onto Munich for a year, then London for almost a year, then onto Amsterdam where I worked for over 2 years, I went back to USA after the job ended in Amsterdam and found myself homesick for Europe. After a year of searching for another I.T. job I am happy to say I found a good position in Rome and have been here for almost a year.

Fulbright Teacher Exchanges
If you are a teacher (k thru community coll.), you have the opportunity to exchange jobs with someone in another country. Exchanges run from 6 weeks to a whole year. You are paid your American salary by your home institution. Exchange of housing is optional. The program is supported by the U.S. government. You can find the details by googling "teacher exchange." My husband and I agree that we never had more fun than in the year that I taught and we lived in London

Working in Europe
Each country is different, and it also depends on the passport(s) you hold. And on the nature of your educational and work qualifications - certain fields are looking for workers so it's easier for them to hire non-EU citizens.
You will need to do research and find out what the laws & regulations. Generally - and also now in the UK - getting a work permit is separate from getting a residence permit. The company obtains the former, and then you must get the latter.
If you are Australian, you might have an easier time in certain countries, but it's not easy for non-EU citizens all around.
It's probably best to find out the regulations and then start looking for a job - the process is complicated and expensive enough that you don't want to get deep into it if you aren't going to be able to find a job.

Working in Portugal
Try here to find info, though it may take some searching around :http://www.portugal.org
You should be aware that for jobs, within the EU, which includes Portugal, employers have to consider EU citizens for any job before non-EU citizens. What this means is that you are highly unlikely to get a job in a low-skill field, and will really need to have demonstrated skills in a high-need field. Generally the employer has to apply for the work permit, so you've got to convince them that you're worth enough to them to go through the work permit process.
It's not impossible to find a job in the EU, but you should keep your options open and make sure you have the job sorted out before you leave the US as many EU countries will not allow you to change to a work permit without applying back in your home country.
Good luck!

Paris, France living
I moved to Paris, France, with my husband and dog for a year (we're going back to the US in July). I didn't find a job, but instead was on a long-stay visitor Visa. If you have questions, please feel free to e-mail me. I'm happy to help.
A couple of quick suggestions:
* The website fusac.com is indispensable, as is the FUSAC magazine. (Stands for France-USA Contacts.) There are listings for jobs, apartments, services, education, etc etc. Definitely a big help to US expats in France, particularly in Paris.
* If you need to board your dog or hire a dog walker, I highly recommend "Caninement Vôtre," run by Cédric Cornevaux. He provides door-to-door service, and your dog stays in his private home outside of Paris, rather than in a kennel. (And yes, he speaks English, which is helpful for Anglophone people and pets alike!) My 50-pound mutt had a ball with him both times we used his services. Phone only: 06.70.21.24.09 (when calling outside the US, drop the first 0 and add the country code, 33). Rates are $30 a day, with reductions if your pet(s) stay a week or longer. He's very fair and prorates when he doesn't have the dog for a full day. Also, I think he even bathed my dog before returning him!

Paris, France Thu 06/29/2006
I've had some questions here and there about how to get a job in Europe, since I work for the Army in Germany (I'm a nurse). There are some jobs opening up in Germany, Italy and Japan (yes, I know that's not Europe :)). So here's how to do it: PS This is specifically for nursing jobs, but there are other jobs, and I'll tell you how to do those as we go along- 1. The website is http://www.chra.eur.army.mil 2. In the left column hit "Employment" 3. Hit the purple circle that says US Apropriated Funding 4. On the left side, under "Employment Information" hit "search for jobs Europe" 5. "Under General Occupations" hit "Medical, Health Sciences and Public Health:". If these jobs don't apply to you then hit whatever applies to you. 6. Skip next categories to "country". Hit the country you're interested in. Or the State 7. There are 2 statements at the bottom, put the dot in the appropriate circle. 8. Hit "Get results"
This will pull up jobs in that area in that country. The L/Grd and H/Grd is the pay grade, you'll have to click on the individual job to see the pay offered. Read thru everything to see job description, job requirements etc to see if you want it/qualify for it. If you want to come to Europe from the States and you want the military to pay for it--and trust me you do-- Under "other information" paragrap look for the statement "Permament Change of Station (PCS) expenses will be authorized." This will get you, your family, your stuff, and 1 car moved at govt expense. If it says PCS expenses not authorized, you'd have to move yourself. There should also be something in there about housing, because one of the big benefits of living here and getting hired from the States is the govt. will pay housing and utilities (up to a limit, but it's generous). SO-in addition to the pay quoted at the top of the announcement, you get more money for housing and util, which isn't taxed. For nurses, they usually want AT LEAST one year experience in that specialty area. If you're a new grad, forget it. Currently, there are 2 jobs in Japan (near Tokyo), 1 in Germany (the Neonatal ICU), and 1 in Italy (near Venice). You also want to make sure at the top of the announcement it says "full time permanent position." If you take a part-time, no housing pay; if it's not permanent you could lose the job after the time period specified.
Good luck to everyone, any questions, I'll check back on this web site. PS I know the job in Italy for sure has a closing date of 2 June so you have to get hopping, I think Germany is 31 May. Near the bottom of the announcements there will be a highlighted area you click to do your "Resumix" which is just a resume in the format the Army requires. It takes 2-3 hours to do (depending on how many jobs you've had) so allow time for it. I'm sure there's a web site for Air Force, the only one I know for sure is usajobs.com.

UK
However, be aware that the UK is overhauling its immigration system in the next year or so to create a points based system. And no-one seems to know exactly how the system will work or who will benefit from it, or whether programs that exist now will continue to exist.
The Highly Skilled Migrant program will be included in some form, but it's wise to do your research well and make sure your information is up to date.

Social Work in UK
Qualified Social Workers are being recruited in England. Those who have graduated w/in 6 months can travel and work on a 6-month BUNAC visa, even without securing employment ahead of time. Others might be able to find a permanent position and get a long-term work permit that way. My husband and daughter and I are leaving the states in August for a couple years in the UK and can't wait to begin the adventure! There are placement firms that will facilitate most arrangements.

Living and working in the UK
I'm a 2nd year MBA student in London, so I've had plenty of time to learn about how to live and work in the UK. The UK has a visa scheme called the Highly Skilled Migrant Permit. Basically, you need 75 points to qualify and then you can live and work in the UK without restrictions--this applies to your spouse as well. There are a number of things that can help you get a score of 75. If you have an MBA from certain schools, you automatically have 75 points. This is nice because you can apply for the visa before coming to the UK, and you don't need to have a job lined up to be approved. Check out the following link to see if you score enough points:
