RE: I am moving to Italy (in reply to flyeogh)

IIRC, I had to show up with ID, proof of residency and my application to the autonomo system (which entails subscribing to social security). I don't remember having had to show savings, but I wouldn't be surprised that I did, since it's a pretty standard requirement. Perhaps that's not as free as some would like, but anyone who's ever had to go through the process of obtaining a long-term working visa will enjoy the difference. I don't know whether Simon is an expatriate in the technical sense (or detached? whatever they call it these days) or whether he's his own boss. In the latter case, the EU free circulation makes things a lot easier. In my own case, I have my own client base and, like Simon, I can work from anywhere as long as I have a computer and an Internet connection. A lot of countries require sponsorships for entry, which is usually done by the future employer. That makes things difficult for those of us who don't have an employer. In France there are companies that specialize in being a front for the self-employed (société de portage). They provide you an official "employee" status while you're really working as a freelance. In exchange they take a good chunk of your profits (was around 15% last time I looked).
