    a lot of European countries have a policy of 5 years legal residence -> permanent residence/green card.

    I would like to stress that rules vary (wildly) between countries. In the Netherlands for example you’ll probably need a sponsor, e.g. a partner, employer or educational institution to qualify for a residence permit.

    Ensure you familiarise yourself with the rules of the country you want to move to and don’t expect things will be about the same in other EU countries.
