So how easy is it for an American to move to the Netherlands? Asking for myself
If you are skilled labor, yes: https://www.expatica.com/nl/finance/taxes/the-dutch-30-ruling-explained-101641/
But what @abbadon420 said is equally true. Housing market's fucked beyond belief. Now, if you want to WFH and live out in the sticks, you'd be set.
Or you'll need to bring like 500k. No, that's not a joke.
For a small flat in an older building, surely not for a single house or even semi…
The average price of all sold houses, including the shitty apartments in the middle of nowhere, is 440k
You can drive though the Netherlands in 3h, for Americant’s that means there are no sticks.
Drive though the Netherlands in 3h
It takes 1 hour to get from Germany in the east to Belgium in the west.
The Netherlands is less than half the size of my state. There is nowhere in the Netherlands that is more rural than where I live right now, lol.
Eh, there are a few spots that it certainly feels like it, especially the Frisian islands.
I guess it's easy enough, but good luck finding a house.

No hills or mountains is great for biking, but bad for beautiful nature experiences (BNE)
