I looked that up. It sounds like you have to start an entrepreneurial business there (in which you invest at least 5k). I have no interest in starting my own business, so that is probably not an option.
But finding housing is brutal.
It is. Unfortunately, the most of the EU is affected by the housing crisis.
Which country is not affected by housing crisis?
Kazakhstan, Laos, maybe Romania. Croatia, not terrible.
Genuinely asking, are there any country that doesn't have a housing crisis right now? From my understanding, it's everywhere in Western nations
At least for my state in germany we have an crisis of housing in big cities. In small vilages and cities it is pretty cheap to buy a house.
Is housing really unaffordable in US? How many years average Joe needs to work to buy a 1bd apartment in the big city, let's say 500sq ft? Price in annual net salary is much lower in USA than in big EU cities.
Yes!
If you are coming over, please, please, go to the Netherlands.
So a business account is one belonging to a business, right?
Is there reciprocity for this treaty?
Yes: E-2 visa. Though I suspect the investment amount has to be much higher than the Dutch requirement of ~$5k.
