Couple trying to Enter Spain from UK by jsav

Tax residency vs "normal residency" by virtuosok
Hi, I'm considering a move to Spain with the family (we're non-EU citizens). My company has headquarters in Barcelona and I've been working at one of its branches in my home country for 10+ years. Now the company is willing to arrange ...

Not at all. He asked a very specific question - whether he would experience the same kind of social/political environment. It doesnt get any precise than that. Especially for those who are from US, where there is a very peculiar social/political ... Read More

The lessons of the crisis in Spain by Loïc
Hello everyone, While there is still a certain amount of uncertainty in our lives, the situation seems to be beginning to change in Spain and globally. We have had to show courage, tenacity and even ingenuity in many areas, in the way we work, ...

I'm spanish, maybe moving to Tenerife (various questions) by Jeremiahxyz
I live in the UK and I might be moving to Tenerife with my mum. I was born there and I speak spanish but I've been living in the UK most of my life. I'm doing my own research as well as asking on here, but getting some answers on a forum ...
You're saying that this would be acceptable, which I hope is true. If it is ok, on what basis would that be? In what cases would there be a problem?If you were registered as an autonomo in a field related to restaurant work, and you had only one ... Read More

For your work, best would be getting a gestor and helping him move your business presence to Tenerife than having it in UK. First it would make it properly legal since you will be working in Spain and you therefore have to pay taxes, second it would ... Read More
