vectormasked nailed it..
I've been in the netherlands for 3 years now, initially on a holiday working visa that enabled me to stay for a year, so that made me attractive enough to hire.. finding a good studio is quite difficult as coming from North america to europe for a design job, yeah, there's so much more talent here and it's hard for a non-international studio to justify hiring someone from outside the EU that in turn will be more hassle for them in the long run..
Once the holiday visa expires, [at least in holland] a studio needs to pay you €55,000k a year to keep you in the country. Which is a lot of money unless you're and AD or CD for most small studios/agencies... And of course even if you find a studio to bite, then you are tied to them...
