Some interesting stats and food for thought:
In 2024, Ireland 🇮🇪 received 42,910 work permit applications and approved nearly 92% of them—issuing 39,390 permits. Indians received the most permits (34%), followed by Brazilians, Filipinos, Chinese, and Pakistanis.
Source: Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment
Looking at these numbers, if Ireland isn’t already on your list of possible job relocation destinations, it might be worth reconsidering.
PS: The source mentioned above also includes stats on the companies that received the most permits.
Did you know? Sweden 🇸🇪 is one of the few countries that offer a residence permit allowing individuals to enter the country to seek employment (commonly known as a Job Seeker Visa).
Eligibility criteria:
✔️ You must have completed studies equivalent to an advanced-level degree, such as a 60-credit master's degree, a 120-credit master's degree, a professional degree worth 60-330 credits, or a postgraduate/PhD-level degree.
✔️ You must intend to seek employment or explore opportunities to start your own business in Sweden.
✔️ You must demonstrate sufficient financial resources to support yourself during your stay. This includes having bank assets equivalent to at least SEK 13,000 (approx. €1,130) per month for the duration of the permit, plus funds to cover your return travel expenses.
✔️ You must have comprehensive health insurance valid in Sweden.
✔️ You must be outside Sweden at the time of application.
✔️ Your passport is valid for the entire period you intend to be in Sweden.
The permit is granted for a minimum of three months and a maximum of nine months. During this period, family members are not allowed to accompany the permit holder. Additionally, individuals holding this permit are not allowed to work in Sweden. However, if you secure employment during the permit period, they can apply for a work permit from within the country.
Here's a link to the Swedish Migration Agency's official website where you can learn more.

Just stumbled upon a blog post about a Romanian software engineer who landed a job in 🇳🇴 Norway. Thought it’d be great to share it here:
boianradu/how-to-find-a-job-abroad-with-relocation-included-as-a-mid-software-engineer-41d12206d83e" rel="nofollow">https://medium.com/@boianradu/how-to-find-a-job-abroad-with-relocation-included-as-a-mid-software-engineer-41d12206d83e
The story is dated July 2023, but it still offers some solid advice. For example:
"I recommend saving the jobs you think you’re a good fit for and then allocating time once in a few days to write your resume based on the matching criteria between your skillset and the JD."
"If you have an ex-colleague who you worked with and you vibed together, just think about that person. Try to explain in your cover letter or in your first interactions with the hiring team that you can give refer a person to talk to about you in a previous workplace. Some companies want to have that talk."
"Be confident.
Going through the process, I realized that the skills listed in job postings are often idealized. They describe the perfect candidate who probably doesn’t even exist.
I applied to jobs where I met at least 70% of the required skills..."
Take a read when you have a moment!
In today’s crowded job market, standing out takes more than just a polished resume. With layoffs still fresh and fewer opportunities available, your online presence matters more than ever.
A .cv domain can give you that professional edge. Whether it’s showcasing your portfolio, connecting with recruiters, or building instant trust and credibility, a .cv helps you leave a lasting impression.
Create subdomains like blog.yourname.cv to share your story or link yourname.cv directly to your LinkedIn profile or portfolio. It’s a simple yet powerful way to show employers and clients you mean business — no lengthy introductions needed.
Moreover, .cv domains start at just $10/year — that’s about the price of two cups of ☕.
Learn more from our friends at Hello.CV and claim your own .cv.
Some good news:
Several EU member states have announced updates to their #EUBlueCard programs, such as reduced salary thresholds and simplified eligibility criteria, effective January 1, 2025.
🇩🇪 Germany: The standard salary threshold will decrease to €48,300 (a reduction of €10,100 from 2024), with a lower threshold of €43,760 for in-demand professions like IT, engineering, and healthcare. Additionally, skilled IT professionals without a university degree but with at least three years of relevant work experience will also be eligible for the EU Blue Card.
🇸🇪 Sweden: The salary threshold will drop from 1.5 times (approx. €66,000) to 1.25 times (approx. €55,000) the average gross annual salary in the country. Additionally, transferring an EU Blue Card issued by another EU country to Sweden will become simpler.
🇳🇱 The Netherlands: The monthly salary threshold for the EU Blue Card will remain €5,688 (gross, excluding the 8% holiday allowance) in 2025. However, the eligibility criteria are being updated, allowing applicants with at least five years of relevant professional experience to qualify without needing a higher education diploma.

Hello, everyone!
Andrew here, the founder of Relocate.me, with an important announcement.
I’ve been involved in relocating tech talent for a long time—12 years, to be exact. Over these years, I’ve created a wide variety of resources to help tech professionals be more successful in their international job search, including this Telegram channel and the International Tech Job Search Handbook on GitHub.
Since I launched Relocate.me in 2017, over 500 users of our platform have found jobs and relocated to different countries.
However, I still get many messages from people looking for personalized advice on their resume, LinkedIn profile, job search strategies, etc.
That’s why I’ve decided to start offering dedicated one-on-one coaching sessions.
So, if you’re seeking dedicated/personalized international tech job search guidance, consider opting for a coaching session 👇
https://www.andrewstetsenko.com/coaching-session-to-fine-tune-your-international-job-search/
There are 3 paid plans available: a one-time coaching session and extended support packages with 3 or 5 sessions respectively.
When you have multiple interviews/online meetings per week, having an easy way to record and transcribe them for future reference is extremely helpful.
While exploring different tools, our team discovered Bluedot.
Bluedot is a discreet AI notetaker that records meetings without needing a bot to join the call.
Key features:
- Recording without external bots in the background.
- 98% transcription accuracy in English and 45 other languages.
- Customizable notes tailored to your specific type of call.
- Ready-to-use templates for interviews, team meetings, and more.
- Compatible with Google Meet, Zoom, and Teams (in browser).
Starting today, Bluedot is an official partner of Relocate.me! 🥳
As a Relocate.me user, you can now access Bluedot at a special (10%) discount on any paid plan by applying the promo code RELOCATEME.
