It's not difficult as long as you meet the criteria and have enough money. The immigration requirements (including the financial support component) are here:

you can find work visa requirements on the same site too. The challenge with work is finding the job in a society that's still recovering from the crash in 08 and is very tight-knit. Jobs are mostly found via connections.

It's also a question of whether you will actually like living here after you've spent some days in winter here :)
