Summary

These notes are meant to try and give you a feel for Spain and point you in the right direction but with constant changes in procedures and rules and regulations you should try to do as much research as you can before you arrive.

10 Keys Points to Consider Before you make the move

1. Bring enough money with you to survive for at least 6 months if you are intending to make a living in Spain

2. Do not rely on public transport

3. Either bring a car or be prepared to buy or rent one if you are seriously looking for work and in particular if you are going to work for your self.

4. Bring with you or be financially prepared to invest in tools or equipment if you are looking to work for yourself.

5. Make sure every member of the family who comes over is committed to the idea

6. Think very carefully about what stage your children’s education has reached before bringing them to Spain

7. Be prepared to work hard and for less than you would in the UK

8. Be prepared to be patient

9. Be prepared for very hot weather in the summer and the effect it will have if you are working in it and not laying by a pool.

10. Be prepared for changes in even some of the more simple and basic things that you take for granted in the UK like a reliable postal service, ease of having a telephone and internet installed, roads with names on them shops and services closing at between 2pm and 4pm.

If you are happy that you can deal with all these points then come on over and start a new life in the sun!
