I'm an American looking to move to Germany, and already have 2 part-time jobs lined up with EEA-based companies that are fine with me residing in Germany (or anywhere in Europe for that matter). It's in IT so the income of both combined will definitely be over any barest minimum required financial support.
Today I went to the German embassy to ask what kind of visa paperwork I needed and they said I basically just have to register as a resident when I get to Germany and present my letter of employment, or a contract, and possibly proof of health insurance and secure housing, and I'd be good to go. There's no need to prove I'm not taking the job from some EU national or some such deal, or that the company definitely requires me to be located in that exact town/region.
After dealing with the bureaucracy in other countries, this seems freakishly simple, especially since Germans seem to really like paperwork. Has anyone gone through this process who can confirm this is true? I just don't want to end up moved in over there and unable to go through with my plan.
