How to live in another EU country?

[Allisgood]

EU yes. Essential travel is allowed. Again it’s difficult⁠ to speak for all EU countries as rules are different in each country and changing,⁤ but from my experience if you get a job offer you just move. Crossing borders⁣ by car is also much much easier than by plane. There are hardly any checks⁢ (where I cross). There are no problems at all in terms of moving inside the︀ EU in my experience. Maybe if you try to move without a job it could︁ be more difficult, cannot say anything in that case.

I see. Yeah, you can easily get︀ a residence permit by being employed, however, in my case, I don't need nor want︁ to be employed. I just need to be able to stay there for 183+ days︂ to become a tax resident and pay 0% in capital gains/income tax on crypto/fiat exchange︃ (yes, I'm aware it's not just staying there 183+ days, but to also cut all︄ ties with my current country).

I was thinking of becoming a sole trader (sole proprietor)︅ and pay health insurance and social security, however, I can't really find any info about︆ this one, is it really that simple to just become a sole trader and then︇ easily get a residence permit immediately? Will I have to prove that I'm making any︈ money or will they be happy with just me paying them the social security and︉ health insurance (+ maybe an affidavit proving that I have enough funds to support myself︊ and not be a "burden" on their society?)?

Yea never done it this way. But most EU countries︄ would have some type of period (6 months) where you can just move to a︅ new country and then look for work. Maybe you try that and then figure out︆ a way to stay as a self employed.
