Måttlig — För EU-medborgare är flytten enkel med registrering efter tre månader, medan medborgare utanför EU/EES behöver visum och uppehållstillstånd som arbetstillstånd eller röd-vit-röd-kort. Bostadsmarknaden är konkurrensutsatt, särskilt i storstäder, och mäklarprovision på 1–2 månadshyror tillkommer ofta.

| Summary verdict | Komplext — Visumkraven varierar kraftigt beroende på nationalitet: EU/EES-medborgare har enklare process, medan icke-EU/EES normalt behöver arbets- eller uppehållstillstånd knutet till specifik arbetsgivare eller andra villkor. Tull- och importregler finns att ta hänsyn till, och boendemarknaden är konkurrensutsatt med höga levnadskostnader. | |
