Alors, mais oui!!! Ja...

Moving to the UK took me about two years of planning in my country of origin before I even got the visa. There is a lot of planning and paperwork involved. So, first, do your research as to which country you wish to emigrate to and then research the requirements for getting a work visa there and take it from there.

Here is a post I did earlier that may be of some help. Also some very good advice from ALKB in the thread just before yoru own. Worth reading that thread to get an understanding of how Europeans work.

Also remember that resumes/CV styles differ not only between Europe and the rest of the world, but also between European countries. So, research how to write resumes for each country that you are looking at.

Ironically the vast majority of IT work in Europe is offshored. To India........

Germany has a jobseeker visa that allows qualified candidates to job search for up to 6 months:

http://www.auswaertiges-amt.de/EN/Einre ... _node.html

http://www.india.diplo.de/contentblob/4 ... seeker.pdf

You will have to show a degree that is accepted as equivalent to a German degree and adequate finances to bear the cost of living during your job search.

Please note that the jobseeker visa does not allow employment, it still has ti be converted to a residence permit subject to sponsorship by a company and approval of teh alien department.

German language skills will be a great asset in your search both for finding employment and general survival while in Germany.

Pretty much all of the IT sector in Helsinki is English speaking. But Finnish is a difficult language to learn if you want to properly integrate into the society.

Are career prospects really so bad in India? A lot of IT support in the UK is contracted out to there :?

If I lost my job within load period, i'll suffocate.....

I Plan to start search a job on April only and learn one of the below languages.

and Job market of those language .
2,Which month good to start. Is there any freeze period ?

Thanks

What is your profession? Are you a software developer?

Swedish has some degree of mutual intelligibility with Danish and Norwegian, so a fluent speaker may be able to communicate to a degree with native speakers of any of the three. Learn three languages for the price of one!

Software development is a pretty international business and most coding is obviously done in English.

When you say family of 5, is that wife and 3 children? Parents?

In my experience, expats from the subcontinent are usually shocked by the level of taxation/amount of social contributions they have to pay and how high the cost of living is. Saving money will not be easy. You might be better off looking into the Gulf states.

By the way, most Europeans will have to take on a mortgage to buy a home (if they ever can) and will pay to the bank for 20, 25 or 30 years, often ending up paying double the purchasing price.

1. No. No employment means no employment.

2. Not sure how much you have to show this year but I think it's around €720/month. This is an absolute minimum. Actual cost may be a lot higher depending on region and lifestyle.

3. Learning a new language later in life is always difficult. Particular difficulties are subjective.

4. http://europass.cedefop.europa.eu/docum ... ulum-vitae

Google is your friend.

5. What's a freeze period??

6. Don't know. Somebody said Netherlands but I haven't checked myself.
