Ask HN: What visas are available for working in Europe without a degree?
I'm a 26 year old software developer with no degree from Canada. Navigating the waters of under 30 work permit visas for all European countries is turning out to be quite complex and I feel like I'm missing information.
My goal is to find work and live in a European country before age 30, ideally with a possible path to stay. If you have information on non-euro countries, I'd be very curious about that as well.
Part of the confusing bit is that some countries have working holiday visas with no highly skilled restrictions, Germany has the blue card and specific restrictions, all have separate skilled worker (with qualification) permits, and the list goes on. I feel like the job market is good, but I have no idea where I stand.
