If you are a US citizen....... you can not work anywhere in Europe without a work Visa, so you would need to apply for one. However if you have been offered a job.......your employer should be attending to this matter as they can be fined up to 10,000 euros for hiring someone who is not legal to work. I think this is another ''fake'' question......i have no idea why you people do this.

If you are a British citizen you can come to Spain to live and work. Where are you going to stay. You can't rent anything until you are 18. Have you finance to start with. Wages aren't good here and you will need somewhere straight away and pay up front. If you say you are a British citizen, you will need to notify the tax office and the NHS. If you stay in Spain for more than 183 days you will technically be a resident. If you are a British citizen who now is domiciled in the US, that may cause you a problem working in Spain. You should check everything with the Spanish Embassy first.

Work is hard to come by in Spain right now. You might get a job working in a bar, but that is long hours and very little pay. That won't pay for your accommodation. Whilst you are working way into the night everyone you serve will be out enjoying themselves. On top of that, you have to eat & sleep. Barcelona is expensive.

You would do well to investigate this option, as getting a work visa on your own is very difficult, and likely to remain so. You might even start the process now. I have some friends who were accepted on a work exchange program, and it took them three years to get all the paperwork and placements worked out. Here's a link to some options. I can only vouch for the fact that CIEE is a good source, but if you have a phobia about heat, then you might not be too pleased. They only work in Sevilla. Very hot there (still, my favorite city in the world! very pretty and romantic!) http://search.yahoo.com/search?ei=utf-8&fr=slv8-hptb6&p=work%20in%20Spain&type=

As you are from the UK, you probably already know that you don't need a visa, so no need to worry about that. When you arrive in Spain, you will most likely find that your gcse level spanish won't cut. I would suggest booking yourself in for some classes as soon as you arrive in spain - the school you go to will level test you and put you in the appropriate class. As for finding a job, it depends where you go. You will have an excellent chance of getting a job as an English teacher come September, especially if you move to Madrid. For a job in a bar, you would have to speak a decent level of spanish and if you lived in a tourist spot then there are plenty of Irish/British bars you could look for work in. Another idea is to move to one of the islands as there are a lot more english speaking people there and therefore more demand for english speaking workers. Don't listen to the people that tell you not to come because it's too hard - I came and it was a good move. Just make sure you have a couple of grand savings before you arrive.
