I’m curious to hear opinions on how bureaucracy/inefficiency impacts day to day life. We often hear how Western Europe is horrendous with being able to get things done efficiently- but I’m curious to hear for Europe as a whole, are there any exceptions? Would like to hear about the “less popular” expat locations in Europe.
For activities such as getting internet set up in a new flat; or having the heat break and needing the repair company to come look at it- which countries in Europe would be the most efficient?
NL has to be up there. Literally everything is done online and quickly handled. The only thing slowing you down are the endless amount of rules you have to follow and the Dutch are an obedient kind who will always remind you to follow the rules.
