About livingineurope.net
livingineurope.net is an independent guide for people who are thinking about moving to Europe. Most of our readers are Americans, with many Brits, Canadians, Australians and remote workers too. We exist to give you straight answers on the questions that decide whether a move works: which visa fits, what life really costs, how healthcare and taxes work, and which city suits you.
What we do
We research and compare countries, cities and residence routes across 20 European countries and 40 cities. We publish:
- Country guides and city guides with costs, climate, neighborhoods and trade-offs
- Visa guides that link to the official government page for each route
- Guides on topics such as taxes, health insurance, banking and the Schengen rule
- Free tools, including the Schengen calculator, the cost of living tool and the Where should I live in Europe? quiz
How we work
Our content is built from research: official government and statistical sources first, then reputable secondary sources, with the date we last checked shown on our pages. We say plainly when something is our estimate and when we could not verify a figure. See our methodology.
We write from research, not personal anecdote. You won't find invented testimonials or made-up residents on this site. Where we describe what life is like, we rely on official data and on what residents commonly report, and we say so.
What we are not
We are not lawyers, tax advisors, financial advisors or immigration agents, and nothing on this site is legal, tax or immigration advice. Visa thresholds, fees and processing times change, sometimes with little notice. Always check the official page we link and, for your own situation, talk to a qualified professional.
How the site is funded
We earn money through affiliate commissions when you buy products or services through some links (for example insurance, banking and money transfer services) and through referral arrangements with relocation advisors. This costs you nothing extra. It does not decide what we recommend. Read our affiliate disclosure for details.
Tell us what is wrong
Rules change faster than any website can track. If you spot an error or an outdated figure, please contact us with the page and the official source. We review corrections and update the "last checked" date when we verify a change.
