You're going to have a ball. Would definitely recommend Germany, once you're there you'll come across plenty of opportunities for sponsorship to other countries of your choosing - just get over there on the Freelance visa to begin with. Or alternatively go to the UK first for a 2 year visa, and find a country that's happy with remote work.

Your biggest hurdle will be your first job in the EU. So make sure your first visa isn't tied to your job, because you'll likely want to change it in the short-term. After that - it's smooth sailing.

Thanks for the support :)

It sounds like you've followed a similar path. Mind expanding on your experience?

Am from NZ, moved to AU but no visa requirements for me. Half of my friends have moved to the EU or Australia and told me about their move.

[brailsafe]

AU. Is that Australia or Austria? Was your first comment based entirely on your the experience of your friends?

[justinclift]

It's probably Australia, as (AFAIK) people from New Zealand don't need any kind of visa to live and work in Australia.

That's what I figured, perhaps just a little confused about the structure of the sentence.

AT is Austria ;)

Heh, thanks. Didn't find it in a quick search.
