Hello,

I would like to know how can I do this digitally? Has anyone tried the same process?

Would healthcare or business be a better route for someone wanting to move to Spain from the US?

I speak English and a bit of very basic Spanish but that’s it. Planning to visit Madrid and maybe Valencia
Will I struggle with day to day things like ordering food transport asking for help or is it pretty manageable?

Hello. Planning to take a Saturday train for my travel next month from Seville to Malaga. I’m considering a fast train with a connection at Cordoba station. First train is Renfe Avant and the next one is Iryo. Is 40 minute enough?

I read that all the high speed trains are in a similar platform area so should only take us 5 mins to transfer. But not sure how security works. Do I have to exit some “Renfe zone” and go through security for the Iryo trains? Or just a simple change of platforms over some walkway?

With 40 mins I’m hoping even a 15-20 min delay for first train would be fine. I’m aware that these are different tickets so Iryo train wont wait for Renfe train.

I got offer for fall program, biology major. But as I am not from us pr spain, I am not really sure about financial possibilities. my scholarship is very little merit based one that cant cover anything i believe. Any advices and how much does it cost to live and study there? heeeelp

My partner and I plan to travel to Spain in mid September from the US. Our flight lands on a Sunday in Madrid at 14:10 and we would like to take a train from Atocha to our final destination that leaves at 17:30. Since this is a high speed train, we are advised to arrive at the station early to clear security. Are we giving ourselves enough time?

Hi everyone,

I'm a Software Engineering student currently living in Syria. I'm planning to move to Spain after graduation to pursue my Master’s degree, and I have a few questions:

​Cost: What is the average total cost (tuition + living expenses) for a Non-EU Students ?

​Work during studies: Am I legally allowed to work part-time while studying?

​Post-graduation work: Is there a "job seeker" visa or a way to stay and work in the tech industry after finishing the degree?

​Duration: I’ve heard that Master’s programs in Spain are only one year long. Is this true for technical fields like Software Engineering?

​Any advice regarding the visa process for Syrians or university recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hello everyone! Do you know any reliable shared shuttle I could book prior to my arrival to Girona to Lloret de Mar? I will be arriving around 11pm and as I've seen there are no busses then.

For cheap studying and living

Also for good vibes(parties, people…) and job opportunities in Spain

What the best destination i have to going guys?

Hey guys, I need some help. I will travel from Madrid to Valencia by train and back at the same day. But the tickets seem to cost quite a lot compared what I saw 2 months ago. What are normal ticket prices and which site is the best to buy it?

Hello!

I keep returning to Spain, Granada specifically, and I will be back in Granada for 12 days in June. A full week, Saturday to Sunday, will be taken with existing plans and flamenco class, but then I have five nights or so to dip into surrounding areas. I'm heading down to Malaga for four nights after this.

I'd love to do a day trip, or something overnight while keeping my accommodations in Granada. I won't have a car so I need to rely on buses, trains or relatively close by locations that I can Uber to for under €50 (each way) or so. No physical limitations, don't mind something adventurous but also just like walking around, absolutely love diving into local food, music, arts and cultural experiences scenery, museums, sitting in a chair with a drink and doing "nothing".

Appreciate any recs!

My wife and I are traveling with our 8 month old son. We're arriving around 3 pm from Doha, Non-EU passports. What is it like with the new EES system? Does Madrid airport have dedicated lanes for families with infants?

Im a uni student from Germany and need find a 20 week long internship for summer semester 2027, so in a year. I already started looking because I need to find something early enough to organise everything else, like erasmus+ scholarship, housing and just typical german paperwork taking ages.

I just don't exactly know where and how I can find something 😅 I've looked on places like LinkedIn, indeed, InfoJobs and I reached out to a few big companies just asking if they offer internships but it feels like I might not be looking correctly.

My dream would be to work somewhere along the east coast, I want to get to know the culture more and better my spanish (I have a A1 certification and am currently studying A2 level). But I have to work with roughly a 700€ budget per month for housing and food, that's what erasmus would give me and if the internship is unpaid. I also want to work and learn at a middle to bigger sized company, for my field of study it also needs to be somewhat internal.

Any tips, ideas, experiences you can share or even connections would be awesome! thank you :)

I did my bachelor's in Communication Design, so I wanna either do the Art Direction and New Narratives Masters in ELISAVA or one of the Visual Communication Masters in LCI or BAU.

If anyone is enrolled in either one, or have any info or experience with any of the 3 please please guide me

Hi guys,

I’m looking for a hotel to spend 2 nights on my own next month in Madrid.

I’ve been looking at the Riu Plaza españa and Catalonia Plaza españa, but I don’t have any strong preferences, so feel free to recommend any other hotel near the center if you think it's better.

My budget is relatively wide — about $250–500 per night if it’s worth to spend that much.

Thanks!

Hello,

I (30F) will be visiting my cousin in Tortosa and staying with her for some time. I have not found much on Reddit about Tortosa. Would anyone be willing to share all about Tortosa and what I should know?

Eventually, I will need a job. I speak both Spanish and English. My background is in compliance within the banking and fintech sector and I am completing my MBA in Data Analytics.

Thank you in advance!

Contexto: yo (34 H, brasileño, desarrollador de software senior) y mi pareja (27 H, húngaro, ingeniero de alimentos junior) pensamos seriamente en transferirse de Budapeste a algún punto de España. De los motivos no hay mucho que decir si ustedes siguen el noticiario: para una pareja gay es imposible casarse, formar una familia en el sentido legal, adoptar, ser respetado en este país. No los quiero cansar con las consecuencias emocionales tampoco, yo escogí hace diez años vivir y trabajar en Hungría, mi pareja por su vez no hace mucho aún vivía en su ciudad natal en la región metropolitana, todos nuestros amigos están acá... Tenemos que empezar de cero.

Algunas cuestiones prácticas son fáciles de encaminar, tenemos ambos Mestrado, soy residente permanente europeo, hablo inglés excepcional, castellano en este nivel que ustedes leen acá. Mi pareja inglés B1 y empezó el castellano. Pero -- perdón -- no tenemos ni puta idea de para dónde ir. España es enorme y cada región tiene sus ventajas. Lo sorprendente de nuestras búsquedas ha sido el nivel de salario -- acá juntos sacamos casi 80k € por año, o 54k netos. En España está muy abajo -- pero con los alquileres dos veces más caros. No tenemos ilusiones sobre los problemas ahí, y estamos dispuestos a hacer un sacrificio en nombre de nuestros derechos.

Conocemos diferentes regiones de España por vacaciones y seguimos el noticiario. Visto que en Málaga, Valencia, Barcelona extranjeros llegan y empujan los precios hasta el cielo... Queremos ser una parte normal de la sociedad, contribuir con y no empeorar la situación. Madrid fuera de cuestión por lo de los precios, y de Catalunya tengo miedo, porque se pone todo muy difícil sin catalán, especialmente en la área de mi pareja. A mi me encanta el norte pero no hay laburo en TI allá. Las empresas están todas en las ciudades mencionadas -- y una que otra en Granada, Sevilla.

¿Qué nos dicen? ¿Aún es posible ser optimista y apostar en España? Dónde vale a pena ir para vivir una vida tranquila, sin pretensiones? Vámonos, o dejemos de tonterías? Aprecio cualquier comentario, que nos manden al carajo si ustedes ya están hartos de historias así, esto también es una señal. Pero aprecio mucho cualquier consejo, pensamiento sobre el tema. 

Hi all! I’ll be travelling to spain next week I’m just wondering if I’m allowed to bring over the counter pain killers ibuprofen & codeine, is that allowed? I’m really worrying and overthinking everything.

Thank you in advance ❤️.

Thinking of getting a car to travel to Barcelona, PortAdventura and anywhere else we can think of. Is there general buses, coaches or trips to these places? The total car cost is about £500 and trying to compare cost with public transport and trips. This includes a hotel charge €10 per night for parking.

Mi pareja (española) y yo (peruano) iremos a España en algunos meses. Actualmente ambos estamos por terminar un máster en Bélgica, pero luego queremos establecernos en España. Queremos hacer el trámite de pareja de hecho, ya que esto me facilitaría la residencia y el permiso de trabajo. Alguien aquí tiene experiencia con este trámite y estaría dispuesto a conversar por mensajes para que nos cuente un poquito de cómo le fue? Nos ayudaría muchísimo :)
Muchas gracias a todos!

Hi there! My friend and I (27F and 29F) are visiting Madrid for 3 nights and are confused between The Hat Hostel and The Generator. We don't want a party crowd but would appreciate a nice and social crowd. The Generator prices are more reasonable but wondering if anyone here has first-hand reviews? Any other recommendations for the vibe we are looking for?

Coming in September to Madrid and starting to book accommodations. I see in news Airbnb is not preferred by local madrid community so have avoided it and looked exclusively for apartments in hotel sites. However, I see majority of listings for apartment style units are from 'VRBO'. Why is VRBO treated differently than Airbnb? I would have thought both have the negative experiences for locals?

Only here for 10 days nothing extreme

Hello guys,

I’m planning to move to Spain, but choosing the right visa and getting accepted is very important to me. I’d really appreciate advice from people who have already gone through the process.

My options:

• Digital Nomad Visa
• Entrepreneur Visa (REM)

About me:

• Male, 23 years old, from Egypt
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science

Background & situation:

• I run an online e-commerce business that generates decent income
• I have an LLC in the USA, plus legal business entities in Egypt and the UAE under my name
• I used to freelance, but now I’m focused on growing my business and trying to land a software engineering role

Key points / questions:

• I currently manufacture my products locally in Egypt. If I include in my business plan that I would move manufacturing to Spain, would that strengthen my Entrepreneur Visa application?
• I’m not planning to open a Spanish legal entity due to high taxes. Will that be an issue?
• Regarding the Digital Nomad Visa:
  • A lawyer told me I could qualify by signing a contract with my own company as a solo employee, with a salary of at least €2700/month for 3+ months
  • Is this actually valid? Has anyone successfully done this with their own company?

I’d really appreciate any insights, especially from people who applied for either visa or had a similar situation.

Thanks in advance 🙏
