Many EU countries have a “VAT” and like feel like this is kinda targeting poor people. Like, for the rich, this is insignificant, for poorer people, a (example) 20% tax would be a huge burden. Why do they do this?

    If you get yourself a job offer (not a vacancy) you can get yourself a staying permit. Getting into a school is an option too.

    Tip: go trough Frankfurt airport in Germany. Much less paperwork and explaining to do there. Then take an ice train (inter continental express) to the Netherlands. No border checks :p

      Oh, I’m Estonian. I could literally just drive to the Netherlands and not go through a single border check. It’d be a long-ass drive, but with a station wagon it’s easier to take my stuff with me than with a plane.

      Any suggestions for software companies to apply to?
