Be Spanish.

The easiest is probably to be an English teacher as many people are learning English there, as for looking for a good job that pays well and all it is best to be European as the company will probably not want to get involved in the whole Work Permit hassle. Or go and visit Spain and look up companies that you might be interested in and see what you can offer them. Jobs in Spain pay very little compared to what you would make in the US so just be prepared...

I agree with roryo... but I would add that the jobs pay less, but the lifestyle is substantially low. I live in Madrid, I have a B.S. in Biology, but I'm teaching English on my own, can't complain. But you can get a head hunter specialized in your area, and have them do all the work regarding finding a company that will sponsor a non-European Union Citizen. Also, can you work in an specialized area? because those are the jobs that are getting contracts and just for your knowledge, even if you get a company to sponsor you, you will have to go back to the states to wait for your work permit and unless the company can wait for you, they are not going to go through all the whoha. Ok, your options: 1. Look for a job while still in the states and have them sponsor you. Do it through a head hunter though. 2. Come and teach English and wait three years to get what they call, "arraign social" and apply for it. They give you permission to reside here after three years living here, provided that you have means to support yourself. If you do this, remember to travel outside the EU every three months to keep things legal. Not that they care much with American Citizens, but be on the safe side. 3. Marry a Spaniard, and get the docs. Good luck, email me with any more questions, if you want.

I´m American. I have a valid resident permit for Germany but I´d like to move to SPAIN, can I work there
I´m American. I have a valid resident permit for Germany but I´d like to move to SPAIN, can I work there?
I have a valid one year resident and work permit for Germany but I really miss Barcelona and would like to return, but I need to look for legal work. Most places ask Americans to have EU papers, does my German resident /stay title allow me the opportunity to look for work in Spain and can I then apply for a Spanish resident visa once I have obtained legal work? In Spain will I have to apply for the same type of work I do in Germany? Urgently need advice.

Why the hell do you want to move out of America.....the country that 90% of the world is dying, sometimes literally, to get into?

Hi, You should be able to travel to Spain since you probably have a Schengen visa. From there you should be able to find employment, but I don't know if you need a work permit before that, or whether your would-be employer must sponsor you first. Give the Spanish consulate a call and ask them.

European here. You have a one year resident and work permit for Germany. But have to tell you your German resident stay only allowed you to work in Germany not the rest of Europe. You will have to apply to each European country if you want to work there. Like you said you can apply for a Spanish resident visa before you step foot in Spain.

Will my iPhone 4G from the U.S. work in Spain with the Orange network
Will my iPhone 4G from the U.S. work in Spain with the Orange network?
I want to use my unlocked iPhone 4G that I bought in the U.S. with an Orange contract in Spain. Will this work? Is this internet signal any different or anything like that?

It will work, but it just might not be on Orange as you will be roaming. It will connect to whatever network is putting out the strongest signal. Bear in mind also that an iphone is always online so it will be a good idea to disable that to prevent a large bill when you return home. Your network can advise you how to do this.
2 :
If you put in an Orange sim card in, then yes, it will.

Will my US appliances work in Spain
Will my US appliances work in Spain?
I'm going to Spain in December and I want to bring my laptop, cell phone, iPod, hair dryer, hair straightener and other things to Spain. But my mom has told me that the outlets and plugs are different or something like that. So will i be able to plug them in and will they work?

No, they will not work without purchasing a converter to go from US to Euro specs.
2 :
They will not work. you will need an adaptor to plug your appliances in. You can buy adaptors when you get to spain. Hoped this helped :)
3 :
You will need an adapter for each appliance since the outlets are different. These can be bought cheaply at any hardware store. The second thing you need to know is that the voltage in spain is 220V compared to 110V in the US. fortunately most appliances today are dual-voltage meaning they work in both countries. you should check out somewhere on the appliance or its adapter to see if this is the case. If it says only 110V then you are better off buying a new one in Spain. From my experience I can tell you that your iPod, Laptop, and cellphone are a sure thing. the others I advise to check the voltage label it is usually somewhere at the bottom or next to the cord or on the adapter.
