In summary: I will do that.In summary, to pursue a PhD in cosmology abroad, you will need to have a MSc from a university in the US, and English skills. PhD positions may be available, but are usually paid well.

Something in Europe? All universities will want to see some qualification - the MSc should be accepted, but check that in advance. European universities won't care about the GRE, that is a US test. English skills will be necessary, TOEFL might depend on the university. PhD positions are paid, usually enough to live from it.

There are way too many European universities for a list. Figure out which part of cosmology you want to study, check which groups are working on it, see if they have PhD positions (they are not always written out, asking directly can help). You can also ask people in your current university if they can give a recommendation.
