Whats the reason of the restriction for `We can only relocate candidates who are in the EU.` ?

The trivial reason would be no need to support visas, but happy to pay to incentivise you to move there
Not being in the EU doesn’t mean you need a visa.
Er... yes it does? If you're not an EU citizen then you need a visa to work in an EU country.
Why do you think EU citizens are confined to the EU?
This is an EU role restricted to EU citizens with some financial help to relocate? They’re not confined, but no one said that
I assume the job is for EU citizens, with relocation assistance available. They phrase this as “we can only relocate candidates who are in the EU”.

GP is here to point that this is a misleading way to phrase it because “EU citizens” isn’t synonymous with “people who live in the EU”, which is insufferably pedantic even by the standards of HN.

For Germany specific Blue Card, company doesn't really need to support the candidate, its fairly straight forward and easy to obtain if the candidate has the salary & degree for BC, they just need a job contract.
