Many countries will grant you a visa so long as you make over a certain amount. This is much more open than the American lottery system.
>if you make more than a certain amount not if you invest over a certain amount.
I don't know any developed countries with that system. Do you?
There might have technically been other minimal requirements like knowing English or the local language, but most people who fulfill the pay requirements will fulfill the minor requirements too if applicable.
If so that's not the same as an income requirement at all.
If not, I'd like a list of them because that's very interesting.
I'm sure lots of countries have similar rules.
They have to demonstrate that they can't find a citizen to do the job etc...?
But: - tech salaries aren't US competitive - people often speak Danish (sometimes it's a requirement)
And while you'll probably do fine with English in Denmark in general. Long term you would need to learn the language. And to be fair, it's a useless language, there is only 5M speakers, why would anyone spend time learning that? :)
And yes, you would experience racism too. Just because it's a borderline social-libertarian paradise doesn't mean all the people are angels.
