The Rain in Spain stays Mainly on the Plane. You can use Visa and Mastercard in Spain.

Mostly, you need to have an Official Work Authorization approved by pertinent Labor Authorities in Spain. Your Spanish employer should arrange that for you. Apart from this requirement, rest of the docs required are pretty much the normal ones for any other visa. You can find the full requirement at http://www.consulate-spain-chicago.com/work.htm

Hi, the website for the Spanish embassy has very detailed documents on applying for a work visa. Do a google search for Spanish Embassy (nearest major city) and you'll find the local website for one of their consulates or perhaps the embassy itself if you are in the D.C. area. What they won't tell you is that to work in the EU you have to have corporate sponsership and you really need an attorney that specializes in work visas. The exceptions to this are for low-paying positions (aux pares), work/study programs, etc. For any position paying more then 30K euros you'll need to get some kind of sponsership. The reason is that an entity in Spain must pay for and sign some documents and forms to get you on into the Spanish system. Once you have this it's all paperwork and you'll be in Spain working within 3 months.

It depends on your own nationality. Not everyone is american, after all!

How will you describe information technology in Spain

How will you describe information technology in Spain?
I'm a web developer, and somebody's offering me to work in Spain. Is IT good in Spain (particularly Barcelona)? How about the pay, compensation packages, tax, cost of living? Should I accept the offer?

dont get the job unless they offer more than 2000 € month.. You must pay about 500 600 € moth to hire as flat. you can pay 200 300 for a room, ( student flat or so ). dinners 8 ,9 €

If the salary is high enough, take it...Spain is opening very fast to the new technologies ... (Like the other person told you, at least 2000 euros a month starting wages so you can cover rent, food and other expenses.) The highest salaries for compùter experts are in Luxembourg and Ireland...if you can find work there you are really at the top! But Barcelona is a great city to live in. There is so much to see and do there, that you will find yourself short of free time to visit the wonders of the city. And from there you have the rest of Europe at your doorstep! In Spain, once you start working, you automatically have medical coverage by the social security. (you will have to get a spanish social security card.) Taxes are not as high as in the rest of Europe, cost of living has gone up, but no worse than every where else. If you think you would enjoy the change DO IT! Spain is marvelous...(I've lived here 34 years and still haven't seen everything!) My son is in the same field as you, and he has worked in London, Luxembourg, Dublin, and is now in Grenoble, France... Variety is the spice of life in your field...Don't pass up the chance for good experience...It'll look wonderful on your curriculum. I have a godson, also in the same field...He IS from Barcelona...and just found a great job in Paris...so you never know. You may become addicted to Europe . Whatever you decide I wish you good luck!

Can a Mexican married to a Romanian citizen immigrate to Spain

Can a Mexican married to a Romanian citizen immigrate to Spain?
I know that as a Romanian I can live and work in Spain, but could my husband work and live in Spain also, for the fact that he married a European citizen? What papers does that involve?

yes but he also has 2 get citizen ship of spain i think thats how it goes
2 :
As an EU Citizen you would need to apply for a residency permit once you have been here 90 Days, and could apply for him as a 'Family Member of an EU Citizen' ( Read these 2 articles ... EU - http://www.tumbit.com/how-to-guides/articles/2-applying-for-residential-status-residencia.html , Non-EU - http://www.tumbit.com/how-to-guides/articles/135-applying-for-residential-status-residencia-non-eu-citizens.html ) Oddly, it is much easier for you to get Residencia than him on his own, however, if you should ever wish to apply for Spanish Citizenship (in some circumstances) it will be easier for HIM to apply, and then you to join him as a family member - in certain cases Mexicans only need to have been resident in Spain for 2 years before they can apply.

Will American made police style scanners work in other countries

Will American made police style scanners work in other countries?
Hello, I was wondering if scanners (in general: uniden, yaesu, radio shack, etc) work worldwide. I mean if I purchase a scanner from the USA, will it work in Spain? for example. Do ALL scanners operate worldwide? And do scanners pick up cell phone frequencies? Because if it picks up 800Mhz, that includes cell phones right?

Not neccesarily. Some scanners use different frequencies in different countries. Some products are illegal because they use frequencies in on country that are police and fire frequencies in others.
