I can confirm that. As a US software developer, I have pondered going to live and work in the Netherlands, and I&#x27;ve done some research. Their visa for knowledge migrants (kennismigrant visa) seems to be very easy to apply for and would pretty much apply to anyone who reads this site. You do have to find an employer willing to sponsor you though.<p>The Netherlands is vastly more friendlier to skilled migrants than the UK, which seems particularly xenophobic at the moment, and I think it provides a much friendlier experience than Germany. They have expat centers (<a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.hollandexpatcenter.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.hollandexpatcenter.com&#x2F;</a> and <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.iamsterdam.com&#x2F;en&#x2F;expatcenter" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.iamsterdam.com&#x2F;en&#x2F;expatcenter</a>) that were establish to help immigrants get established and figure out the rules, cultures, and customs of the Netherlands. I&#x27;ve been impressed.<p>They also incentivise skilled migration by providing a 30% tax scheme for anyone moving there from outside the Netherlands, where 30% of gross income is tax free for a longer period (I think it&#x27;s 8 years).<p>I&#x27;ve even spent a couple months learning Dutch (gemakkelijk, maar de uitspraak is moeilijk), although that probably isn&#x27;t necessary. I hear that English is almost universally spoken in the Netherlands.<p>I&#x27;d certainly be interested in hearing any tips you have. I have over 10 years of web development experience. No mobile app development experience yet, although I&#x27;d like to get into that.
