Thread: Life begins at 40.....Moving to Spain

Hi there, I have been on this site before as have wanted to move to Spain for many years. However, due to a reluctant partner, I never made it.

I am now on my own and have no reason not to move......

I am looking at a 2 year plan by which time I will have enough money to support myself for 12 months with the worst case scenario of earning no money in Spain at all. I have a small home help business already which I plan to keep in the UK with the assistance of a Manager to run things in my absence. I am looking to set something similar up in Spain - domestic home help, holiday apartment cleaning maybe as well? I am using the 2 years to learn some more Spanish and research everything I need to move.

I plan on renting a long term let for a couple of years to see how things go.

Your thoughts and opinions would be very much appreciated........

Also any tax info on being self employed (in Spain) would be most welcome too as this is an area I am totally unfamiliar with at the moment .

Thanks for all the previous advice on plates in Spain and Gib, etc. I would just like to ask what the procedure is for buying a car in Spain - is it long winded and expensive and should I rent a car when I first move to Spain or is it straightforward and can be done in a few days? I may be interested in buying a small new car - are loans available - do you need to have been a resident in Spain for so long? Also, are new cars cheaper to buy in Spain than in the UK or pretty much the same?

Thanks for the info - very helpful! If someone could confim the car query - buying a car in Gib and driving it in Spain - is this allowed and how much does this cost?

Also, does anyone have any web site links to online jobs - virtual assistants, etc?

Thanks in advance!!
