Sara Vordermeier: My real life lessons from renting in GermanyIt’s common knowledge among foreigners moving to Germany that if you find a good flat in a good neighbourhood at a good price, from a good landlord, you should be saying, “Yes, yes, 100 times yes!” – to almost anything that the rental contract throws at you.

Joanna Kalafatis: The best Greek islands for Digital NomadsAfter the implementation of Greece’s digital nomad visa in 2021, the sunny Mediterranean country has become an even more attractive hub for remote workers. More and more people are fulfilling their dream of setting up a relatively stress-free life on a Greek island. But not all islands are created equally, especially when it comes to year-round living, connectivity and expat life.

Cycling in the Netherlands: A practical guide for expatsEven in a busy city like Amsterdam, you can get pretty much anywhere in 10-25 minutes; you can leave whenever you want with no need to wait for public transport schedules; there are no extortionate parking fees to pay.

But recent changes to the country’s citizenship laws effective 6 June have left many foreign residents wondering what the new rules mean for them. The good news is that not all of the proposed changes have taken effect yet. The bad news is that becoming a Swedish citizen is likely to become more challenging in the coming years. Here’s a breakdown of what has changed, and what’s still on the horizon.
