> And have freedom of movement within the whole EU
replyTo a certain degree. In the US you can drive to another state thousands of kilometers away and decide to just live there for the rest of your life.
I can do the same within the EU, what difference are you pointing at?
replyI moved to Spain from The Netherlands as a Dutch citizen. It was a lot of paperwork, lots of planning, needed close to €10k in my bank account and needed to get private healthcare with a pretty serious health check. I had to do multiple trips to the national police office and municipalities.
replyThat is not needed when you switch states in the US. You just need to update your address and tax records. You do not needed to show financial means and you do not need private healthcare.
