Living costs vary widely within Europe: rent in Dublin or Munich can take most of a salary, while smaller towns in the same country are far cheaper. Tax residence usually begins after 183 days in a country within a year, after which income is declared under local rules.

Attitudes to migrants follow the economy and politics: where workers are scarce, newcomers are welcomed more readily, but the tone shifts with elections.
