You are right about complicated! If you or your spouse works for a U.S. company that is transferring one of you, it is pretty easy to move to another country. Beyond that, it is extremely tricky, particularly in midlife. The really good times to move to foreign countries are when you are young-- before your children start school--and when you retire. Getting work permits and becoming permanent residents can be quite difficult, as well. It is really helpful if you have relatives or close friends you are going to live nearby, since wherever you go, there you are, and you are pretty much alone! And each country has its own distinct culture. There are books available on the culture of the different British Isles countries for people moving in. I have read the one on moving to Ireland.
