Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone has any advice regarding staying in Europe as a nonEU citizen? My boyfriend is Costa Rican and wants to move to Europe (preferably Belgium since I'm Belgian but we're open to all options). We think the easiest way for him to be able to stay in Europe for a longer period is if he finds a job in a European country. So we've been looking at job websites and sending out hundreds of job applications but most companies are only willing to give him a job if he already has a valid working permit for Europe (which unfortunately he hasn't). And that's a bit annoying because when looking at those websites we found quite a lot of jobs offers that are exactly what he's looking for. Are there countries that are "easier" when it comes to finding a job as a nonEU citizen? A couple of years ago my boyfriend lived in Germany for a year. Could this be an advantage?
