Talking of which...this greeted me when I visited the newly refurbished toilets at Glasgow airport last May, en route to Spain.
I must say the electricians I have dealt with there (Spain, not the toilets!) are super blokes, but they charge €17/hour which might be a reason not to go there to work.

Have a look at the yellow pages in Gibraltar, loads of work for good guys. See www.gibyellow.gi and check out all the elec. companies or start your own. Hope you find a country you like.

What languages do you speak? You'll need a fair bit of lingo to understand if the locals are going off on one about you stealing their work.
Whilst just about all ex-pats like UK workers (because they turn up in the right week) you'll certainly find in France the local professionals will make it very, very difficult for you to operate even legally, and you'll certainly need to jump through hoops to be legit there, and if not you'll have a visit from plod and lots of 'officials' who have lots of clout/ability to put you away.

The New Zealand regs are very similar to ours.

I'm not sure what work is like over there though.

Dubai tries to copy our regs.. worth looking into
