What should be my major in college if I want to live and work in Spain

What should be my major in college if I want to live and work in Spain?
I am currently a junior in high school and while you may think that's sort of young to already have a future planned out, I like to think ahead. I used to live in Europe, so Spain is where I've wanted to go to for some time now, and as I'm a citizen of one of the EU Member States, but living in the US now, I'm already set for living and working over there. I have pretty much ruled out majoring in the Spanish language, as I had originally planned, since it seems pretty useless to have in a Spanish-speaking country, so now I am trying to decide on a major before I graduate high school, as I like to have things planned out. I've already asked a similar question in the 'University' category, but I haven't received many answers. Someone suggested that I instead major in communications, foreign relationships, or journalism, but I want to be sure that I'm actually instrested in a major before I pursue it. My interests include language (foreign and English), travel, writing, literature analysis, music, many types of art, culture, some psychology and some biology. I don't like mathematics, physics, chemistry (I don't *think* I'll like this, as I have zero interest in math), and anything like marketing or accounting. I know I might sound kind of picky, but it's just to give a general idea of my personality and aspirations. For those of you who live/have lived in Spain, what do you think would be really useful to study in a good college? If I weren't going to live in a Spanish-speaking country, then I'd most definitely major in the language, but then I'd probably have to teach it (which is not the plan at all), and if I didn't practice it enough, I'd lose the language. I also plan on learning at least French or Italian after becoming fluent in Spanish (yes, I am pretty confident). I'm wondering if it would be helpful to minor in Spanish while majoring in something like journalism, as I want to be fluent in the language for sure. Thanks for taking the time to read this. Any detailed responses would be greatly appreciated! ;) Anthropology? I never thought about that. I will look into that major. I'm also a citizen of England, since my dad was born there and we used to live there. :) Going back to Europe feels like going home for me. I'd love it if I could live somewhere close to France, since I've traveled to Paris twice now and I adore the people and the language. :D There may be some possibility of me transferring to school over there, money-wise anyway, but I'm not entirely sure I'd be prepared enough to stay there myself, especially since I'd rather have a more comfortable feel of the language before jumping right in. Thanks for telling me about the considerations they make there, though. It looks like I'm going to have to think all of this through reallllly thoroughly. :P

Yikes - you are confident =] Good luck with French, though. A bit difficult for some, but absolutely gorgeous. What about majoring in anthropology ? You get language, history, writing, travel, art, culture, and biology all rolled into one ! Ah, and if you don't mind me asking, where else are you a citizen ?
2 :
I won't be giving you any answers because I'm in the exact same predicament! :( We even have the same likes and dislikes too! I studied fashion design in university for one month and then move to New York, but my plan completely changed recently. Now I want to do Communications Studies and move to Barcelona. However, I will double major in communications AND Spanish since I want to be fluent in the language also. Good luck!!!

Neurosurgery. Anthropology???? I think they have their share of anthropologists there already. I don't think they need any foreign ones. Possibly some sort of really technical work. What you do has to be something that they don't already train their natives in, which is in high demand. Difficult to predict what that will be in ten years, after you have finished four years of university, three of med school, a couple of years of residency and specialization, etc. You might guess wrong. Actually, as an EU citizen, things are a bit less bleak. With fluent English, English as a second language, and a teaching degree seem rather applicable, and you can get work easily in that...I didn't read carefully enough, so while the top part of my answer applies to anyone, EU citizens have more flexibility....at least for the time being...thing is this recession we are ALL entering, Spain is already deeply entrenched from what I have been hearing...it hit them before it hit in the US. Of course, by the time you finish school, it will very likely have swung the other way. And you are not so "picky". It's your career, and you want to study and specialize in something you will enjoy! Think of how many teachers there are out there who DID enjoy their careers, but have burned out. You should AT LEAST start with something you enjoy. (hey, what about political science or international commerce/economics, etc.?) If you are already fluent in the language (and able to write properly) then studying it, or majoring, minoring, is not necessary...just living there you will become fluent enough, anyways. but study something you enjoy, and concentrate on parts that can be used internationally.
4 :
Another thing you should think about is how will your American (I assume you are American) university title be useful in Spain. If you wish to work in a "controlled" profession, i.e. one which has a governing body such as Lawyer, Architect, Doctor etc. you will not be able to come to Spain and start working until you have had your title homologated by the Ministry of Education in Spain. This can be a long tedious process so its worth investigating each of your possible courses to see if there are any existing homologation agreements in place (I know they exist between some European countries and between Spain and some South American countries). Even if your chosen profession isn't governed by a public authority some employers may be reluctant to recognise a US title (this is even the case with titles obtained in other European countries so nothing specific against the American education system!). Do you have the possibility of starting your studies in the US and then finishing them in a Spanish university ? This would give you much more credibility when job hunting afterwards.

I had this same question when I was in high school! Currently I am a junior in college and I have many of the same interests as you! I am a Spanish major, with a minor in French and Communications, with a concentration in Public Relations. I think this is a very great path to take since it will allow you to not only learn more about your interests, but it also will prepare you for a career doing, well, whatever you want. I feel this is a great educational course to pursue as there are so many companies that are looking for people who not only speak multiple languages, but also if they are looking to go or already work internationally. Originally I was in education, but I had a change of heart and decided to change to communications. I love this career path and I feel that it will really prepare me for life after college. Also, a foreign language specific major is great because many colleges and universities require a student to study abroad in a country that speaks that language. Last year I studied in San Sebastian, Spain and absolutely loved it. Now I too want to move to Europe! Hope this information helps, it's just what I've chosen to do with my life, and gives you a little insight of different majors for people with similar interests as ours.

Unless you want to feel completely marginalized by your inability to read everyday signs, read a menu and order in a restaurant, Go shopping, ride public transit, do banking, post office,ask for directions,carry on a conversation, understand what your co-workers are telling you, or the conversation that is going on around you, then I think your best bet is to take a course in Spanish. Why would you do this to yourself? Being away from home is challenging enough without being able to communicate with those around you. I have lived in Switzerland and had to speak French every day to accomplish these simple tasks. If I had not had some ability, I would have stayed home and done nothing every day....Can't even watch TV! Take the course... Think of it as an opportunity!

It depends on where you work. If you work in a multi national corporation, I'm sure most of your co workers will speak English. If you work in a local bakery, maybe not. But wherever you go in the world, it helps to learn the another language. I've been learning Spanish for a few months now, and I've already found that my Peruvian friends are warming to me. It's not so difficult either. I've been learning basic survival language at http://www.survivalphrases.com/spanish, and they've been really useful.

Alot of people will understand you but do you want to understand them? You don't want only for people to understand you, and live deaf for the rest of your time there. You won't be able understand your Spanish collegues when they talk amongst themselves, you won't be able to understand the music etc. etc. Besides, Spanish is an easy language to learn.

Many people in Spain have a basic knowledge of English, but not many people speak t English fluently. If you want to work (and live) in Spain you NEED to speak Spanish. However people will lend you a hand when you are learning the language and you're not fluent enough in Spanish.

If the ATM in spain is on one of the card's networks, yes. You will be subject to bank fees and your bank's exchange rate. I was able to use my atm card in Italy just fine. And the exchange rate was actually pretty good, but then, I have a credit union. Fees are more reasonable.
2 :
Absolutely! Spain, like all countries is Europe are ver advanced in commerce and trade, including ATM's. There is usually a fee of about the equivalent of $1.00-$1.50 for withdrawals. So my advise is to take out enough money that the charge is just a miner percentage of the total. You wouldn't want to pay $1.50 to withdraw $20, but you might want to pay $1.50 to withdraw $200. Going into a bank and using the ATM card to withdraw money is also a great way to meet real people. If they don't handle the cash right there, they will most likely walk you over to the ATM to help you through the process. You can punch a button so that all of the transaction is done in your primary language. One important hint: when the transaction is nearly over the screen will tell you to "remove your card" prior to dispensing the cash. I didn't have my glasses on that day and thought it was telling me to "withdraw my cash" instead of card. The ATM swollowed my ATM card and I spent three days getting my card back. Had a date with the lady at the bank who helped me get my card back, as they would only mail the card to an address, and then you had to go there to get it. You also get the very best exchange rate anywhere when you use the ATM machines or the actual people in the bank. Stick a couple of $100 bills in a hiding spot, just in case you lose your wallet or ATM card. It's no vacation to be in Europe with no access to your money.

i hate it when people write really long answers to a simple question!!! yes you can use your visa debit card in spain, But remember in spain if your paying by csrd,(debit or credit card) you must produce ID to confirm its your card. so you have to show the your passport or drivers license. :-) hope this helps
4 :
Not only does it work, it's the best way of obtaining funds.There are plenty of ATM machines throughout Spain, I suggest that you use the ones that are a part of the Spanish banks. I'm an American guy that has used my Visa debit card many times in Spain, it's well worth the nominal fee you'll be charged.
5 :
yes you can use your visa debit card in Spain - there is a option to change the language to English
6 :
Yes it will. I used my Australian debit card with a Visa symbol & plus symbol without any hassles. When I was there in 2001 (Christmas & NY - they were just introducing the Euro) and there was a limit of 500 Euros withdrawal per card, per day which made it a bit expensive in bank fee's. One word of warning though.. friends just returned from Barcelona & had issues with unauthorised transactions & thier card was placed on a watchlist by the bank until the bank could verify the transactions were legitimate. Also for extra safety look at having a second emergency card just incase you have problems. Good luck & happy safe travels :-))))

If it's possible, then how can I find these jobs and where in Spain are they usually located? @Mary: Why do you assume that I wouldn't enjoy living in Spain? I am in the process of learning Spanish. I figure that my Spanish would keep on improving once I live there. I have a degree and I heard that at some companies they only speak English in Europe. Those are the places I would like to target first in order to obtain a good job. I just don't know if it's really that easy if you don't know much Spanish. That is the reason why I am asking.

it is possible, but is Very difficult to find work if you dont know nobody here.you can work as a house keeper for people who speak english, or you can work in a restaurant, in kitchen, if you have friends able to help you. if you have a perfect english, you can work as a tourist guide too, but you have to study a few years for that, and you need to have a basically spanish. when i did my project for the university i had to talk with a lot of people who have Business here. they told me that they used to give work to the immigrants if they speak spanish. hope it help. sorry for my english. is not Very good.
2 :
Not very reasonable, though not impossible. Surely, you can get a job, working 12 hour days, cleaning rooms or something...certainly enough women doing that in the US, who don't speak English. But then, how are you going to do things like negotiate a lease? Contract? Get around town? Why would you want to live/work in Spain if you don't speak the language of the land? Why don't you leave those jobs for the people who enjoy living in Spain? *edit*....just going by what YOU said...that you don't know the language. You make it sound like you don't WANT to know the language.

No. You can't even visit Spain for vacation without knowing some Spanish. I know what Im talking about, I just came back from visiting Spain.

Yes it's possible. I know a few people who work in Spain and can't speak Spanish. However, if you can speak Spanish, and converse with the locals, you can get maintenance work and such, much cheaper as the Spanish firms are much cheaper than the foreigners who have businesses here. There is absolutely no point in coming to Spain unless you learn the language

I have lived in Spain for 61/2 years.I have had many Spanish lesson's but im still not very good. When I first came here there were lots of English company's,so there was quiet a bit of work.However since the recession,there is no work ,not even for the locals. Maybe in a few years when the economy picks up English company's may invest in Spain again,but at the moment 100s of families are returning to their home land having lost everything. If you have found a niche in the market and can start your own business then you may have a chance. We have an A/C company a Key holding and rental company and an on line shop ,but we are just about making a living. In the summer months there is some hotel and bar work ,but that's it im afraid. And one more thing you wont find jobs advertised here ,you have to go knocking on doors or know someone in the chosen profession. Sorry if I seem harsh but it is really harsh here,and the Spanish only give jobs to their one people .Good luck edit To Tee2, I lived here for a year without knowing any Spanish so im sorry but you dont know what you are talking about.

That depends. Do you have any qualifications or work experience? Do you speak Spanish? To be completely honest the chances of a 17 year old finding work in Spain are slim unless you are an extremely highly qualified 17 year old who speaks fluent Spanish. Spain has very high unemployment, especially amongst young people, so in order to find a job you will need to have something that can really set you apart from the competition. My advice would be to find a job wherever you are in the world now, save up some money and take an extended holiday in Spain rather than trying to find work out there!

Buy the card in Spain. Most country cards only work in the country sold. Right as you enter customs in Madrid there is a lady hawking cards in her booth which are reasonably priced. You can also get them at the "Telefonica" and most tobacco stands. Do not use the card hooked into your home phone if you don't want a minumum $10 bill for a 1 minute call.

Spain and England both use the same PAL system, so yes. Most of the world uses the PAL system, so buying that game from most places would work out fine for you. And as far as I know Spain and the UK run the same type of electricity, so again, the aspects of TV/video game playback that are routed in electricity specifics would also line up in your benefit (basically the 50Hz). The only places that you must avoid would be North America and South America as that's where the opposite system, NTSC, has its primary distribution.
2 :
The UK's adoption of 582 active lines has no significant impact on either non system PAL-I receivers or non system PAL-I source material as the extra lines are not within the normal display area and don't contain anything in the other standards anyway. All Digital TV broadcasts and digital recordings (e.g. DVDs and Video Games) conform to the 576 active line standard.

It largely depends upon whether you are fortunate enough to secure a job offer BEFORE you come to Spain, or if you intend to come to Spain and THEN start to look for work. As an American citizen you do not need any documentation at all to enter and remain in the country for up to 90 Days. As soon as you know that you wish to stay here longer than that you will be required to apply to become resident here in Spain as a Non-EU citizen - there are a number of different types of Residency certificates that you could apply for depending on your reasons and circumstances - most notably whether you have been successful in finding work or not.

Basic Spanish alone cannot guarantee a job in Spain, although it would definitely help. You would need to have a willing employer to sponsor your work permit. You can go there as a tourist, but it would be difficult to look for a job because you need a "carta de residencia" to work, which is only available for EU citizens. There's a way out, though. I would suggest that you go there as a tourist, get to know the locals, and marry a Spaniard or an EU citizen. Once you've obtained your residence permit, you can work in Spain. Just make sure, however, that you marry out of love and not because you just want to stay in Spain. You can also enroll in a Spanish language class to hone your skills. Who knows, you might impress somebody who owns a company and they'll take you in?!

If you work for an airline that has offices in Spain then check with them. I would suggest you contact the Spanish embassy and ask for their advice. Yes, you could arrive as a tourist and then enquire at a police station for advice. I´m sure you trying to speak Spanish would be appreciated.

Your best bet is to get a quadband unlocked gsm phone.That's basically a fancy way of saying that it is a sim card phone that has been modifed to take sims besides the original phone has. Quadband. Means it has all the four gsm radio/cellular wavelengths used both in the US and internationally. The US has two bands, Spain has two bands. They are not compatible. A quadband phone has all four so can be used both sides of the Atlantic. Unlocked, means that you have freed it up so that ANY gsm sim can be used in the phone including most foreign ones. You take an Att iphone and unlock it , it can be used with Tmobile and international sims. Once you get quadband phone, I'll explain what to do. Gsm, a type of technology used in cell phones. Gsm phones are easy to identify because they usually have sim cards. Gsm technology using companies include Tmobile and Att. Cdma/non sim card phones are incompatible and are used by Verizon /Sprint and others. Most of the world uses gsm. Not to be mixed up with iden uses sim cards that look and fit the same but are incompatible with gsm . Biggest difference is that iden has walkie talkie capability too. Boost Mobile and Nextel are iden. Get an Att phone, they are easier to unlock. Don't get the cheapest, because they are not usually quadband. Something like a Razr or better usually is. If in doubt, check the phone out at phonescoop.com. If you buy it from Walmart, whatever, DON'T activate it. Call Att customer service up, tell them you bought it second hand via flea market whatever, you are going overseas and that it is an Att phone. They will usually help even if you are not a customer. Tmobile does not. Ask to have it unlocked. They will email you a code or tell you over the phone. You put a non Att sim in it, like Tmobile, borrow a friends and punch in the code. It should unlock. Go online, buy a Spanish gsm or international global sim , whichever is cheaper, pop it into your new unlocked quadband phone and Hablas Espanol away. Ole!

It depends on where you want to live. It also depends where you live now. If you are in the UK you have a right to live and work here. Everything is getting a little difficult here right now on the jobs front. I doubt you'll get to work for a Spanish company. Your best bet may be to work for yourself. I have friends who are doing just that, but it's tough going as the Euro is strengthening against the UK pound and people aren't having the work done. However, there is always emergency work that needs doing. If you got into an area where no one knows of an electrician, and you are good, then you may do well. Bear in mind, if you are coming from the UK the strength of the Euro will lessen the amount you may get through the exchange rate. If you are coming with your family you may need to become a resident. The tax laws differ here to the UK. The first thing you should do is contact a good English speaking lawyer (abogado) to help you find a house and how to get started. Why not come for a visit. You can't beat first hand searching rather than looking from your own country. I live here. It is a great country to be in, but beware the beaurocracy, it can be frustrating.

Well, I don't know any specific jobs, but you can put your buisseness in the local phonebook yellow pages, people will call you. Everywhere that you go, there needs to be an electrician. The more populated the place is, the more jobs are.

Do prepaid cell phones bought and used in London work in Spain

Do prepaid cell phones bought and used in London work in Spain?
I live in the US but I was in London last April and bought a prepaid tmobile cell phone. I will be in spain in a couple of days and I wanted to know if I still will be able to use the sim card since it is still Europe. Will I have to purchase a whole new phone or just a sim card. Or can I keep what I have?

My phone works in both the UK and mainland Europe but it automatically changes network. Check with the shop you bought it from or the tmobile website for more information.
2 :
It depends on the network and whether you have one with simlock. Some networks allow you to use the prepaid account from abroad too, (Spain will count as abroad,) some do not and some only under conditions, like using a special code. Only when you know the provider you can tell. And these rules change over the years, so what was true 5 years ago may not today. If your phone is simlocked you can not put in a new card, but if you have a simcard where you live (either yours or from a friend or even from a phone company willing to help,) you can check it. If it takes one foreign card it will take all simcards. Even when it can not find a network, if it recognizes the card it will work with a different one. If you can not get it to work with a different simcard it will tell you that the card is not right or that there is no card at all. In that case you can get the phone un-locked. If it is a common model they can do that for you in the states, otherwise you can try to get in done in Spain. Do not spend more than $20 on unlocking the phone, unless you can use it at home too. I do not know what kind of phone contracts are available in Spain, but I do know that having a 'local' contract will be much cheaper to use locally than a British one, but to call the USA, I do not know the different tariffs. I have had a prepaid phone in England, it cost me 40 pennies to phone within England with that phone, about 80 penny with my Dutch prepaid phone, phoning to the Netherlands cost about the same with both. But that was a few years back, and conditions and prices differ from then. (Dutch phones became even cheaper, also phoning abroad, I do not keep track of the prices in England.) If it is not economical to bring that English phone over, consider your own phone or contact your phone company, and check what they can do for you.

Most likely not. Sprint sold a few Samsung phones for international use, but they were over $500 even with the discount. If there is a SIM card slot, it will work, but you need to get a SIM card. Western Europe did not use CDMA technology for their systems. If the phone does work, using your US service will be very expensive. Well over $1.00 minute. Better to use a calling card. If you need to be reached, buy a n unlocked GSM phone and get a prepaid SIM in Europe. Calling Europe is inexpensive from the US, it can be as low as $.02/minute.

Im travelling myself at the moment so experienced something very similar! couple of things to do, call up the network ensure roaming is enabled on your phone. roaming allows you to use your phone elsewhere. the network will be able to also tell you which networks should work and the costs,. (be wary of not racking up a bill by ensuring data allowencce is billed heavily when roaming and that to recieve calls can sometimes be charged- check the networks website to confirm the charges. if your a little bit timid about risking racking up a huge bill, buy a pay and go simcard to ensure you dont buit again do check the charges before leaving finally if you want to save a lil money with outgoing calls, ensure your phone is unlocked, this way upon arrival at your destination, if your making lots of local calls, you can buy a local pay and go siimcard and top up saving money! it might be worth bringing a portable internet device too ( e.g laptop or apple iphone)) as using services like skype can really save money on calling back home. using this at a local netcafe/wireless point can really save some dosh.

Being British you have the right to live and work in Spain because of the UK being in the EU. Along with about a million other Brits you can buy a villa. However, my advice to you would be to come for a visit, make an appointment to see an English speaking abogado (lawyer) and get their professional advice on how to proceed. You can do much of it yourself, but I chose to do it through my abogado. As for health care, if you are under 65 you will need to make the necessary arrangements once you are here, and it will not be with the Spanish health service. Furthermore, if you do everything correctly, when you leave the UK you should inform the NHS that you are leaving. Once you do that, you will not be able to use the NHS in the UK even though you are British citizens. There are some very good private health clinics here. You may also like to contact a private health insurer.

Carajillo is right about buying property. ALWAYS, ALWAYS,ALWAYS, get a good Spanish speaking lawyer, as some properties , especially in the south of Spain are illegal and you could buy in good faith , only to have it bulldozed. There are many people who have spent their life savings only to have a house worth nothing. Be careful what you buy because if you change your mind you will have a lot of problems selling in the short term as people can't get mortgages and unemployment is sky high. If a miracle happens and you do get a job and your employer makes the social security payments i.e. you are working legally, you will then be entitled to Spanish " NHS " health care. You will only need to go private until you find legal work. I cannot stress enough how difficult this will be for you. Unemployment is around 27 % but in some places is at 50 % and the few jobs that are available go to friends and family of people involved. In Spain it is very much WHO you know and not WHAT you know. Do you speak Spanish ? I lived in Spain 20 years and speak Spanish better than some native Spaniards and I found it difficult to find work lately. Do not expect to have the same workers rights as you have in the U.K. because although the law gives you those rights, they are rarely respected in practice and as unemployment is so high you have to take whatever job is available. When you arrive you must go with your passport and preferably birth certificate to the local police station and register. they will then give you a document ( with an I.D number ) which gives you permission to live in the country. If you are there full time you really should do this. You must carry your passport or driving licence at all times as you MUST have photo I.D. on you at all times and you can be fined if you are stopped and do not have it. You can have a great life in Spain if you adapt to their way of doing things, learn the language and are lucky enough to have a stable job, which really is the hardest thing. edit * If you have a medical emergency phone the emergency services 112 and they will help you but you will be charged. if you take out private medical insurance this should cover the cost, but as I stated before this will only be necessary until ONE of you is working legally as the you can both go on that medical card.I don't know if the British NHS will cover you for the first 3 months in case of emergency , check that out. You can then get a permanent doctor at the local ambulatorio (clinic). Be ready for a lot of red tape which can be infuriating and you will be asked for a lot of photocopies !!!!! The first thing is register at the Police station ( Policia Local ) to get your N.I.E. ( I.D.number) good luck and enjoy.

This is extremely unlikely with the current economy. The unemployment rate in Spain is is around 20% and about 50% among the 16 - 24 year old age range. There is no working holiday visa available to US citizens since the US does not offer one to most Europeans. I believe that there may be a working holiday agreement between the US and Ireland though. European regulations require that a company advertise jobs and demonstrate that there are no viable EEA candidates for a job before the company can apply for a work permit for another foreigner. This severly limits job opportunities when there are so many unemployed candidates on the market.

It works just like anywhere else. You go to a bank and if you can afford the mortgage, you get it. Just remember that there are taxes and notaries to pay on top of the purchase price. Your bank will advise. (Budget at least 10% to 15%).
4 :
You will have to have a credit check done, a surveyor needs to assess the value of your house and you'll have to pay the relevant taxes. There are a wide arrange of Banks offering mortgages, but make sure you make their requirements in terms on initial deposit (LTV- paid upfront), etc. One of the UK retailers that offers mortgages in Spain is Barclays, but I'm not sure they have quite a bit range if you try to arrange it directly from the UK. Still, if you want to take a look: https://www.barclays.es/publico/contents/clientesInternacionales/hipotecas_NuestrasHipotecas.jsp?lang=en_UK

How good does your Spanish have to be to work in Spain

How good does your Spanish have to be to work in Spain?
I'm Planning on Moving to Spain this Summer, temporarily, to work in Hospitality Management, such as Owning a Cafe, Bar, Hotel etc etc. & I was wondering how good spanish has to be? Fluent? *sigh* I am an EU Citizen.

Fluent would be best.

It would be very helpful and very wise to be able to communicate in Spanish. You would not have to be fluent, but being effective would be important. "I was wondering how GOOD Spanish has to be?" would be considered poorly written English. I would hope that your ability to speak Spanish would be better than your ability to ask the question. I doubt that you will find as many people who speak English in Spain as you would find in other European countries such as Denmark or the Netherlands.
3 :
You'll be immersed in it, and will become fluent rather quickly.

A.J your wasting your time trying to get work in Spain. There is a recession going on there also. Temporary work in Spain? how are you going to manage this? did you get an offer of a job there? Spain is an EU country so if your not an EU citizen I would forget it. An employer has to advertised any position in all other EU countries before they take someone from outside the EU. Then if your an EU citizen learn the language. Remember there is plenty of foreigners living in Spain who can speak Spanish, Dutch and Germans etc. Not been rude but the Briish are not knowing for been bilingual in any European language.

Try to work in Panama or a Cruise. Spain is not a good option. Spain has a very MF expensive stuff you can find. It is a good idea to be fluent if you go to Spain! If you go somewhere else, just comunicate!

As the holder of a Dutch passport you are entitled to go to Spain to seek work and, if successful, live there in order to pursue your employment. http://europa.eu/scadplus/leg/en/lvb/l23013a.htm

As already mentioned as an EU citizen (I assume you are a Dutch citizen) you have the right to live and work in another EU country. Spain requires that foreigners working in Spain hold an N.I.E. A foreigners identity number. These can be applied for at a police station.

It would be a bonus to make sure your Spanish is quite good. Start taking lessons if you can. I know that Alicante/ The Costa del Sol / Murcia area has a large Ex Pat/ englsih speaking community but having Spanish will stand to you in the long term. It may be a good idea to check the Common European framework to see if they have set a recommended Spanish level for your area of expertise.You may run into problems if you don't have have the correct qualifications. Many job areas such as teaching, medical / health and law require you to prove you are qualified in your field and you must submit the correct documentation to the relevant body if you want professional recognitation. Check out the dept. of Foreign Affairs for more information http://www.maec.es/subwebs/Consulados/Lo... If you are thinking about working as a teacher it is much harder to get a job as many schools & language academies now require you to show / prove your qualifications. If necessary you may be asked to convailidate them within the spanish system. The same applies in many other areas such as law, nursing, medical qualifications. Also it is a good idea to find out what benefits you may have gained in the Netherlandsie such as social welfare entitlements. You may be able to transfer your stamps with an E311 and draw social welfare benefits if you don't find sufficient work in the beginning. This is based upon what you earned in Holland so do check it out and see. Make sure you get your E111 as this will entitle you to medical care whilst in Spain for one year. Depending on what field you want to work in it would be a good idea to check out the job situation or try to find out about your own area of expertise.Try and get in contact with others in your field to see if there is work etc.... in Madrid/ Barcalona/ the costas. You will pick up work but it may be more difficult to find a permenant or full time position and contracts( within teaching, health sector and law for example) are sometimes not worth the paper they are written on. Added to this the salary is much lower to what you would be use to in the Netherlands. You will notice this if / when you visit Holland as the wage difference really comes into play then. Added to this the pound is not as strong as it was against the euro in case you earn pounds now & does not go as far as it once did. If you can't find work in your area be prepared to turn your hand to anything from waitering to bar work etc... but if you don't have spanish you will be limited in the job market. Also it's not really a great time to buy a house or flat at the moment as prices are still quite high( as people try to recoup what they have invested in inflated house prices over the last few years), and you need to check out very carefully that what you are buying is legal or you will run into all sort of problems later on. These websites may be off some help : www.spanish-living.com www.idealspain.com www.andalucia.com/spain/working/home.h... www.spainexpat.com www.amazon.co.uk/Living-Working-Spain-... www.thinkspain.com/services/joboffers www.andalucia.com/law/tax.htm Make sure you check out the tax system as it is can be complicated and the individual is liable to fines if you do not comply with tax laws. It is possible to go down to your local tax office where the staff are usually quite helpful with simple queries. There is a freephone number for Agencia Tributaria 900 333 555 or try 901 200 345. Make sure you look at various areas, from the Costa del Sol,the Costa del Luz, Alicante, Murica. The Costa del Sol is not everybodies cup of tea so you must be very clear on what you want when you move to Spain. I hope this is of some use to you but remember it's not all sun, sea and party in Spain. The system is very differant to the U.K. and at times is very frustrating so be prepared for a change. As an Irish national living here for the last thirteen years I still find the "laid back attitude" very frustrating. It's best to know all the pros & cons before you make the move so take the time to inform yourself well. It will save you a lot of time queuing up in local offices. If your own your home , I'd hold onto it and rent it out until you are very certain that you are going to stay. Many people come here full of idealistic dreams which in the end never materialise or don't live up to their expectations. Best to know all the "ins" and "outs" before you really make the plunge.Good luck!!!

As a Romanian and because Romania is part of the EU, your wife may seek employment and work in Spain. As her spouse you should have no trouble following her to Spain and obtaining authorization to work there. I might advise that you contact the embassy of Spain for information rather than the embassy of Romania, since Spain is where you wish to go.
2 :
1st of all she needs in any case a work permit because since Romania is a new EU member citizens of this country are not allowed to work without permit unti 2011. Even if you are the husband you do not have the freedom to work in Spain. For you the rights of any other foreigner applies.

What is it like to work in Spain on a Visa

What is it like to work in Spain on a Visa?
My husband and I were toying around with the idea of moving to Spain at some point in the future. It would be in 5 years or so. Not sure if it would be permanent, but we thought it would be a good experience for our family. Do you still have to pay American taxes while living abroad? Do the Spanish generally accept foreigners into society on a work permit? How's cost of living? Thanks in advance for your replies.

I don't know because I've lived here all my life - but the Romainas that come here for Example have to pay their taxes on their wage to Spain, never back to Romania.. But I don't know about the US because it is not inside the E.U Yes, I don't think there is discrimnation, at least not in my region againts Americans The cost of living... =/ the minimum wage is 600€ a month but you must work 40 hours a week. But the average wage is under 19.000€ a year though. But it depends on the job. A word of advice we have almost 3 million people un-employed, but in 5+ years the Recession will be all but over, and there will be many jobs again (In my opinion) But I'd say make the move, I'm doing the Reverse North Spain - Florida in March/April, but I think for me it will be a large culture shock - You might find the same. But maybe try taking a long vacation, renting a house for a month in an area you like the most? But good luck !
2 :
If the USA has a double taxation agreement with Spain you should just pay in either country, but if there is no taxation treaty, then you may have to pay in both countries. You'll need to look into that. In some areas more especially right now, there is a distrust about taking jobs away from the Spanish workers. It depends on where you live and what you want to do. THe cost of living is cheaper here than the rest of Europe, but in 5 years time it may be different because of the exchange rates you may get at the time.

Since you ask the question in the US section of Y!A I assume you are a U.S. citizen. To be able to work in Spain you will need a residence visa which authorizes to work. In order to get that visa you must find an employer in Spain who is willing to take the burden to apply for an Official Work Authorization from the Spanish labor office. He would have to justify that he is not able to fill his vacancy by the workforce of Spain (14% unemployed) and of the entire European Union. To tell you the truth, as a student who just has finished college the chances to find an employer willing to take all those administrative burdens to instate a non-European without work experience will be below 0.1%.

If you haven't paid money directly to the Spanish Embassy/Consualte in your country when you went in person to submit your application and passport, you have been scammed. DO NOT send any more money. A national visa (work/residence visa) ONLY costs 60 euro, not 205 or 470 Read the info under National Visas - which are work/residence visas for Spain http://www.maec.es/SUBWEBS/CONSULADOS/LONDRES/EN/MENUPPAL/SERVICIOSCONSULARES/REQUIREMENTSENTRSPAINVISAS/Paginas/visas_emblondon.aspx "The national visa application must be submitted on a duly completed application form (original and copy), which can be downloaded free of charge from this web page or can also be obtained free of charge from Spanish Diplomatic Missions or Consular Offices abroad. The visa application must be made IN PERSON in the Diplomatic Mission or Spanish Consular Office in the country in which the applicant legally resides. The application may also be submitted by a duly authorised representative if it is a visa for the family regrouping of minors or under other duly accredited exceptional circumstances. When submitting the visa application, the established fee must be paid (generally €60). This fee is non-refundable and therefore will not be refunded if the visa application is unsuccessful. For all other necessary requirements, please consult the Diplomatic Mission or Consular Office where the visa application is being made as these may vary according to the type of visa requested and the applicant's country of origin" So if you did not submit your application and pay money at the Spanish Embassy/Consulate in your country you got scammed
