Probably move to Europe will be simpler.

The tax are a higher, the wage lower, but if you will have a better social net if things go south.

Also I guess will be simpler to move from Europe to US.

A lot depends also from your background ?

Where you from ? What languages you know ? Do you have relatives/friend anywhere in the world ?

Thank you for your reply!

Can you give me some advice on moving to Europe? Which country is easier to immigrate to? What are the conditions that I have to fulfill?

My situation:

I'm 24 year old single male, my English is not perfect but I have no problem speaking and understanding people. I don't have relatives anywhere outside of my home country. I have a bachelor's degree in a field that has nothing to do with CS or entrepreneurship(I'm mostly self-taught). I'm not sure what else is relevant.

I am not really an expert...

Anyway, the basic idea is that when you enter in the Schegen area you can move in any country.

Here I am talking about Italy, however you don't want to open a company there, remember that.

Basically you need to show that you can sustain yourself (and your family), also you need to show that you have an accomodation.

It sound harder than what really is...

Are you going to be self-employed ? Or you will need to work for somebody ?

Do you have cash for ~10.000€ ? (probably you need less, but I guess that have a big safe margin is desiderable)

If you know who you are going to work for (yourself is an acceptable answer) and have enough money emigrate in Europe is not difficult, the best thing you can do is to figure out which country you like the most and understand the procedure.

Anyway I would suggest you to read here:

if any of your grandparents were from other countries you may want to look into citizenship being available via that route, for example I know Ireland will grant citizenship if a grandparent was an Irish citizen.

Something like that could, essentially, open up the whole of Europe for you.
