It is so globalized that in Europe if you are French and TEA 4 and above, before working in Germany you need to read write speak German, then 8 months later your contract is over but you get a job in Holland and again you need to learn another language ( easier in this case ), after another 6 months contract the Holland contract is over and you apply to xxxx just to be told that your profile does not guarantee stability. So you look at country YYYY, another NO because your TEA level has to be 6; plus EASA trying to make things difficult once more.
From application day to start of training it takes 6 months in certain places, in others nearly 12, this to cover for licence conversion-medicals, and get through psycologists, while most of us hold an ICAO standard licence
