You need to learn to vet the advice you get online. If it were just as easy as finding a job in Europe, everyone would have left already. You can’t get hired as an American in Europe without visa sponsorship. Intracompany transfers are a shortcut for multinational companies sponsoring their own employees. Brand new hires would require rigorous work sponsorship requirements, relocation packages, and long delays before any work is actually being done. You can see why getting hired by a European company is a unicorn opportunity. The only possible way you could go about doing this is using the shortage lists as a guide for roles you are targeting. Shortage lists are roles the government is fast tracking work sponsorship visas for because they are in serious need of more talent in that area. 🆘🇺🇸 #creatorsearchinsights

I want to talk to you about some really bad advice I've been seeing on TikTok about moving to Europe. This is kind of one of those, tell me you don't know anything about moving internationally without telling me you don't know anything about moving internationally, kind of situations. I've seen people advise that a way that you can move to Europe is to get a job and their best advice was to find American companies that exist in Europe in order to get hired. I want to tell you what an intra company transfer is. All the European countries have the same rules about hiring people from outside of the EU, right? When you have a job that needs to be filled in Europe, whether it's an American company that exists in Europe or it's a local company, they have to prove that nobody within that country can do the job. And then they have to prove that nobody within Europe can do the job and only then can they hire somebody from outside of the EU, including the United States. The first person I heard give this advice is a move abroad coach and she was advising people to just find American companies because they want to hire American workers who know about America. But they have the intra company transfer rule because they know that people want to do this. And that rule says that in order to be from an American company and move from say your home office in Chicago to the European location, you have to work for that company for one entire year. You can't just be hired as an American and brought over immediately to the office in Paris without already having worked for that company for an entire year. Unless they're fulfilling the obligations of proving that you're better than anyone in the country and proving that you're better than anyone in the EU to fill this role. So those tend to be extremely specialized positions that are able to prove that level of need to hire outside of the EU. If you don't know me yet, I'm Veronica. And five years ago, I moved out of the United States. We lived on three different continents using our remote income and our passive income. Now I help Americans figure out how to use remote income, passive income and retirement income to move all over the world. I see bad advice on this app every single day. It comes from the supposed experts and it comes from well-meaning people who are just trying to give advice because they've been able to move abroad and they don't realize the specifics of their case and why it won't work for most people. So keep in mind that just because you hear advice on this app does not mean it's legal, does not mean it's possible. Having the right people in your corner who have actually done this and helped people do this is extremely important. Getting a job to move to Europe is the hardest path that you could possibly try. Instead, you should be looking at how can I use remote income, passive income or retirement income to move abroad instead.
