120: 10 easiest visas to get in Europe [replay]

Let’s talk visas — because if you want to move abroad, this is the part you can’t skip.

When I first started exploring life overseas, the visa process felt confusing and intimidating. There were so many options, requirements, and fine-print details that it was hard to know where to begin. If you’ve felt the same way, this episode is for you.

In this episode, we walk through the 10 most accessible visas for Americans moving to Europe, breaking down who they’re designed for, what they require, and how they actually work in practice.

We cover:

• Golden Visas – Residency through investment in selected European countries
• Digital Nomad Visas – For remote workers earning income outside Europe
• Student Visas – Study-based residency options
• Working Holiday Visa (Ireland) – A one-year work-and-travel option for eligible U.S. citizens
• Work Visas – For Americans hired by a European employer
• Retirement / Passive Income Visas – For those with stable outside income
• Freelancer / Self-Employment Visas – For independent professionals
• Job Seeker Visas – Time-limited stays to search for employment
• Entrepreneur / Startup Visas – For launching or investing in a business
• Family Reunification Visas – For joining immediate family in Europe

We’ll also go through which visas are genuinely straightforward, what income thresholds you should plan for, and which pathways can eventually lead to permanent residency.

Bottom line: there’s no universal “best” visa. The right option depends on your finances, career path, and long-term goals.

If Europe feels out of reach, this episode may show you that the path is more possible than you think.
