"Such a beautiful horizon, like a jewel in the sun"
Living in abroad is a dream for many of us but the options are limited when it comes to residency permits. Luckily Spain has a great option for people who do not intend to work here but rather retire or even experience a year or two living in these sunny lands.
In an earlier article we explained the requirements to rent an apartment in Barcelona. If you read it though you might have noticed that neither of the options apply to you if you are in Spain on a non-lucrative visa.
TIE (Tarjeta de Identidad de Extranjero) is your residency permit card for the remainder of your stay in Spain. After getting your visa you may have seen that it’s only valid for 90 days from your stated arrival date. This is because you need to finish the complete process of registration when you arrive in here.
So you have finally found your an apartment that you really like and you want to know if you are eligible to rent it? Depending on your situation, this is a list of the documents that you will need to prove your solvency in order to be able to rent an apartment in Barcelona.
So you are finally moving to Spain to either work, study or simply retire and are looking for an apartment?
One of the first things you will need to do once moving to Barcelona or anywhere for that matter is to open a bank account.
This is another of those simple questions that we get a lot. Getting a number is easy, you just walk into a provider’s store, show your ID and get a SIM within minutes. The tough question is which company to choose?
