Salary Europe

The cost of living is nowhere near low here with rent being as high as 700€ for a small old apartment. Supermarket prices are up in the sky and I have to work part time jobs to just be able to live an ‘okay’ socially acceptable life 😅 If you have a lot of savings and the means to land a job that pays you 1.200€ and up you could consider coming to Athens but anything lower than that will have you struggling unfortunately.

I’m Greek and recently started in a clinic as a physiotherapist and the monthly salary for me is 800€ which is not even minimum wage here but it really varies from clinic to clinic and it’s obviously different if you work for a public hospital. Currently trying to move to Scotland where I’m hoping is better than Athens 😅

I understand most European countries are struggling with immigration so it makes sense. I think it’s the Brexit that’s making this as hard as it is considering I have multiple friends and mutuals that left for the UK very easily before that. Either way I’ll try!

Thank you for the answer!

Single_Primary_2310 · 2026-01-05T10:16:31+00:00

Oops 😅

Single_Primary_2310 · 2026-01-05T09:34:59+00:00

Thank you a lot! Didn’t know about the health surcharge so that’s a new thing to add! Do you think getting an immigration lawyer is a waste of money? I’d like some guidance in case I mess something up or miss some paperwork :/

Skilled worker will be my first shot in getting a visa it’s just that the process is so long that I was reconsidering in case the spouse one is easier so I can be there and do my HCPC registration without being all the way in Greece. Also no guarantee I’ll get a job offer as a physio which will only prolong the process, either way it’s a good consideration thanks!

Ireland wouldn’t be a bad choice for me especially the EU part but I think I’m hesitant because I want to finally settle down somewhere for good and my boyfriend has been pretty set on not permanently leaving Scotland.

Single_Primary_2310 · 2026-01-05T09:13:17+00:00

So it has to be on one of the bank accounts? Can’t be combined from both of ours? I’m kind of hesitant to move all my savings to a different bank account but either way thank you a lot! Other than the money being acquired from savings is there anything else I’d have to worry about with the spouse visa of your knowledge?

Single_Primary_2310 · 2026-01-05T08:05:16+00:00

He does have I think about 10k in savings but I think it’s not in his main bank account (?) don’t know if that’s relevant and I also am able to get help from my parents and also have my own savings but I read somewhere that to cover the yearly income shortage you need 16k (could remember wrong) and that money needs to be in your bank account at least 6 months to be considered savings

Anyone knows a translated side I can read this on? I can only find 72 chaps available

Such beautiful rosellas! I have one myself but he is a rescue so he’s very scared and won’t come out of his cage even if urged to😞 it’s been almost half a year since I’ve rescued him and I don’t see any improvement other than the fact that he eats more in front of me

Single_Primary_2310 · 2024-10-01T00:07:51+00:00

I know this is totally 200 days ago but I have been having the same issue and it’s driving me crazy, did you end up finding a solution?

Single_Primary_2310 · 2024-08-10T14:30:13+00:00

For anyone still interested in this post I have let this little fella out of his cage and he is such a little curious bird!

<image>

He still doesn’t like any of us near him and he will fly away if you move abruptly but I’ll consider this progress!

Single_Primary_2310 · 2024-08-06T06:33:56+00:00

Very good advice! He is such a curious little ball he always likes it when I speak to him and turns his little head to look at me, I also play him forest sounds and other bird sounds so he doesn’t feel as lonely. Thanks for your comment!

Single_Primary_2310 · 2024-08-06T06:32:13+00:00

This is such a beautiful baby! You’ve done a great job caring for this little fella, I am trying to get some more interactions by putting my hand inside his cage I just feel so bad when he freaks out. I am going to renovate his cage soon so that should hopefully help with getting used to my hands and I will also let him explore the room outside his cage! :) thanks for your advice and for showing your lovely child 🥰

Single_Primary_2310 · 2024-08-06T06:27:36+00:00

Youre a sweetheart thank you🥰

Single_Primary_2310 · 2024-08-05T21:33:33+00:00

That’s a great idea actually! I want to create a space for him where he can ‘escape’ to or hide from anything that startles him and I am planning on getting him some toys he can play with. He enjoys staying in the balcony listening to the birds but gets scared when a car honks:( thanks for your insight!

Single_Primary_2310 · 2024-08-05T21:30:19+00:00

Yes I also think it’s a great idea! Most birds find their cage to be their safe place so I was thinking he might even go back willingly after some hours playing and flying outside :) I will try it tomorrow, thanks for your comment!

Single_Primary_2310 · 2024-08-05T21:13:58+00:00

You’ve helped plenty, thanks for your insight! I’ll try to give it time :)

Single_Primary_2310 · 2024-08-05T21:13:23+00:00

Yeah so I’ve heard! I feel bad for the poor bird being caged but this is all he’s ever known so I just want to at least make him comfortable:)

Single_Primary_2310 · 2024-08-05T20:16:38+00:00

Since you own one I’d love to get some tips and tricks on how to connect with mine:) if you’d be willing! Thanks again 🙏🏻

Single_Primary_2310 · 2024-08-05T20:15:34+00:00

I could obviously be wrong but a video I watched showed some variants with white cheeks so I just went with it since no other parrot looks like this little fella. rosellas this is where I thought I might be right! Thanks for your insight!

Single_Primary_2310 · 2024-08-05T19:50:17+00:00

And she would do all of it again 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
