7 Mistakes to AVOID when MOVING to SPAIN

[@markbobich6335]

Good info! I’m an American living in Mexico. My adult daughter is a Mexican and US citizen, but she is in the process of getting her Spanish citizenship. Her grandmother is a Spanish citizen and apparently my daughter qualifies for citizenship because of that. So, I was wondering if that will allow me to get residency in Spain. Once my daughter gets her Spanish citizenship.

[@bo3230]

Why don’t you show the price? Or is it me?

[@cosasDEguitarra]

I'm from Spain and or course I've been living here since I was born but, even though I love watching your videos as it is so interesting to know how foreign people see Spain and how you and others interact here being from another country

[@spainrevealed]

Great to have you here!

[@vanpak]

To me is very interesting to see how Spanish citizens see other countries. The Spanish citizens view of Spain is really really bad, I just came from Paris (second time visiting Paris) and my colleagues from work were very exited and asking me: how was it? Paris is so beautiful, no? Bla bla bla and I am like: I am sorry, I like Madrid way better… and they made fun of me, like it was something absolutely impossible, because most of them think that Paris is way better than Madrid… People here also ask me WHY DID YOU MOVE FROM CANADA? 🤷🏻‍♀️ Spaniards think Canada is heaven on earth, I guess because they never lived or visited there. Spaniards don’t appreciate Spain and underestimate their beautiful country! Yes, with many issues, but that’s everywhere. I am not saying YOU are like this, but many ppl are!

[@cosasDEguitarra]

I agree with you, I'm from Madrid and I love it but I used to not realize how beautiful it is... or much less than visitors... and then I started traveling to many different countries and cities and now I think finally I realize how incredible this city is@@vanpak

[@DarwinHarvey-du9ly]

​@@cosasDEguitarra I wish to visit your country and explore. Can you help me relocate?

[@cjcarver6290]

Do people in Spain think that Americans have lost their collective minds? I am American and know that far too many have, just curious what the rest of the world truly thinks.

[@GeeBShow]

As an expat, huge thanks for emphasizing learning the LANGUAGE. It's responsible for like 80% of a successful integration. Without the language you will stay a forever alien just wondering around like a tourist. With language, you can socialize, learn more about the culture, history, traditions, etc. I would give another 15% for finding a fitting job and living space (town and apartment) but the rest 5% is basically paperwork and such.

[@vanpak]

This is so true! I’ve lived in USA and Canada, both countries have so many immigrants that don’t speak the local language… in Canada I’ve seen many people becoming Canadian citizens that can’t have a conversation in English (I was on the English side) I helped ppl, with documentation, doctors, dentist, Canadian citizens that can’t speak English! I created a free English practice, it was online, ask who joined, few people! =[ I lived in USA to learn English, in 6 months I was speaking, when I moved to Canada I was already fluent, now I am in Spain and although I use very minimal Spanish on my daily life, but I have the very minimal to have a conversation in Spanish, for shopping, for doctors, dentist and to connect to my local friends! Learning the language is key for success as an immigrant anywhere!

[@jblondon1327]

Migrant not expat

[@yvesderival634]

​@@jblondon1327It is just a sugar coursing the term.An expat is an immigrant.

[@tamaramadelin4831]

There are endless, extremely high quality Netflix(and other apps) series from Spain and other Spanish-speaking countries. You can watch with English (or other language) or Spanish subtitles (and sometimes dubbing is an option) and slow the playback speed.

[@jepleas9159]

Dreaming Spanish is an easy introduction to Spanish because it starts with listening. I call it Spanish preschool for adults. It prepares you to then to move on to the harder conventional language learning. James your tips are great! Thank you!!!

[@bajanalpha4]

100% Agree

I told James about this the other day. This is how I am learning.

[@omfgSHORYUKEN]

I think doing Dreaming Spanish up to the advanced level, then doing Language Transfer, and then moving onto apps like Duolingo is the way to go

[@katelin_gates_rn]

@@omfgSHORYUKENI’m in the dreaming Spanish subreddit group and people only do dreaming Spanish and not need anything else. It's amazing. You have to get lots of input from lots of different topics and you build a well rounded vocabulary and don't need to study grammar.

James, this feed is by far, one of the most powerful and informative for those looking to migrate to the beautiful country of España.

Another tip is to take Spanish classes in country too so you can meet people in your new town. It’s made a huge difference for me in allowing me to enjoy myself so much more.

[@tamaramadelin4831]

Me too! How I learned French and met others in my same circumstance!! Very important!!!

[@jackklarfeld7726]

James, you are absolutely correct about hiring a tutor to learn/improve one’s Spanish. I speak at an intermediate level and have studied twice at a university in Santiago de Compostela. A couple of times I worked with an excellent teacher online from a Mexican university. Not only did she understand how the language is used in Spain and Mexico but she explained the subtleties of the language which was fascinating.

[@Taldanmus]

This is beyond brilliant..I've flirted with the idea of moving to Spain for a few years, so watched hundreds of various KZbin presentations..THIS is the one!

[@moralesjjvideo]

Great stuff. I would add/ emphasize: * really understand the wealth tax (At both the country and province level) - This has been hard since the government has been making last minute rules. Clearly this is part of the tax simulation/ getting a good tax person recommendation. * Visit areas/ schools/ etc before you move * Think about when you move here, particularly for US citizens - Better to move with less than 183days left in the calendar year so as to not be a tax resident that first year.

[@spainrevealed]

All great tips!

[@MissRed92837]

Great advice. I will move to Spain from the US. Regarding taxes, is it better for me if I move in December or in January?

[@cp0778]

December, but in December it can be difficult to rent, so October/November would be even better

[@culalamola2]

So you’re planning to move to Spain and thinking about avoiding taxes? Really? That’s why for most Spanish people you’ll be always be foreigners. You only want the “beautiful” and “idealized” part of Spain - a very superficial part. But you don’t take care about how you’re impacting our economy and our general wellbeing, and the sustainability of our system and culture.

James, THANK YOU! This is an AMAZING video that packs so much useful information! I'm a native Spanish speaker and recently acquired my Spanish citizenship, so my move to Spain will be much smoother (and I do not take this privilege for granted!) but there's still so much to learn from people like you, who have paved the way for others to learn and be able to make much better-informed decisions. Always enjoy your videos but this one is so so helpful!

[@jpworldtrvlr9801]

Excellent video James! I’m from the US and my girlfriend is from Málaga. Planning our permanent move to Fuengirola in the next few years. The US tax code for expats is plain and simple absurd. Just like the Hotel California, you can check out anytime you want, but can never leave 🤣 Anyway, I’ve been a follower of your channel for a while now and really learn a bunch form you and Yoli. We visit our apartment in Fuengirola every summer so maybe one day we’ll run into each other if you’re down south! I also wanted to second your comment about learning the language and would also add to anyone moving to Spain, learning the language and more than anything embracing the amazing Spanish culture will certainly make the Spaniards be a lot more open and helpful to you which in turn will make your transition a lot easier. Good luck!

You will always have Delaware LLC and the law that allows to incorporate in any state with the same tax advantages to avoid taxes, even if you are an employee, and not a business person, for your savings.

[@jpworldtrvlr9801]

@@mitcoesWhy would I want to register as an LLC? I don’t own a business. The tax law in the US is nothing short of criminal. No US citizen should have to file or pay taxes if they generate their income outside of the US. Like he said on the video, only two countries in the world have this law; the US and Eritrea. And the law goes deeper than that, it can involve children even if not born in the US or a spouse married to a US citizen.

I just discovered this channel a couple of weeks ago and enjoy it. I lived in Spain from 19984-89 and loved it. I can see from your videos how the culture has change since my time there (i was shocked to see men in shorts LOL). The one thing I would like to add is that you really want to enjoy a good Paella, then you must take the time to visit Valencia. My ex-father-in-law was from there and while visiting him I had many Paellas in restaurants, in the small towns and in country villas. The paella in Valencia (since its the provincial dish), IMO, is better nowhere else. Also, my suggestion is to do it during Fallas. The small towns in the area are having fiestas (smaller versions of Fallas) and many of them cook very large paellas for the entire community. These people have been cooking paellas for generations and they are without a doubt the very best you can eat. Funny story, I just attended a Paella cooking class. It had shrimp and chorizo. I told the chef that during my time in Spain, I had never seen a chorizo paella. Maybe its and Andalusian version, but I tend to think it was an Americanized version. LOL Keep up the good work as it gives me a fresh view, from the U.S. into the country that I miss dearly.

Hi James, my Aussie hubby and I (Spanish living in Oz for the last 25 years) have watched many of your videos and I can honestly say you guys have brought us so many laughs and really related to so many cultural shocks he has experienced when going there... By the way, I know you are a Kiwi but you really sound Australian to me... I wanted to ask you if you have any videos on your channel or any contacts regarding student exchange. The only contacts I have in Spain are based in Barcelona but would prefer somewhere where the schools teach in castellano. My 13 and 12 year old boys have Spanish passports but can hardly articulate two sentences in Spanish, and we have decided that Duolingo is never going to teach them enough so we have decided to send them there. Any info you could provide would be much appreciated. Keep up the good work, you guys are great!

Learning Spanish since some time and being active in the community of language learning people. I realized that actually literally everyone who says you don't need to learn the grammar you can learn the language "like children do" only by listening and speaking with your very bad Spanish, all of them are not getting it done and not having any respectable level of language. I think this switch has to happen in your mind, yes you have to learn a new language and yes it is a lot of work, its never easy to learn a new language, but it does not affect you at all if you in love with that language and with culture and people of the country you would like to move in.

There are a lot of nice home for under €60k with 2 bedrooms/2 bathrooms, 90 square meters and up. Initially, I’d move to Spain (non-lucrative visa) but go back to the US every couple of months for 2-3 weeks. My wife would move to Spain once she retires from her US govt career in a few years. Here in the US, me and my wife own (mortgage) a home with a current market value of around $1.5 million. How would Spain tax this asset? Values change-can go down as well as up…
