I'm interested to hear if you ever compared with Sweden, just for the sake of curiosity. As an immigrant here coming originally from a very bureaucratic country (Portuguese + Italian levels of dysfunctional bureaucracy, with a Latin American cherry on top) I found bureaucracy here a complete breeze. I basically only need the internet to do 90%+ of my bureaucratic needs with the odd visit to an agency's office for getting documents expedited (national ID, driver's licence, etc.).

As far as I can compare with some immigrant friends in the Netherlands I feel Swedish bureaucracy is on the same level or even less burdensome than the Dutch one.
