    Uh, I don’t think it’s that easy, though. For instance, non EU residents cannot get a work visa unless they are sponsored by Spanish companies and have proof that they will be earning “adequate” wages, typically more than 20,000 euro a year.

      20k a year is not a shitload of money. Of course no one is just going to give a job, apartment and Spanish wife just for coming in here but the system is not just of the wealthy. Normal people use it all the time.

          I know how easy or hard it is because I moved to Spain and I know a lot of people who did the same. It’s not as easy as going on holidays but it’s also not something only the rich can do.

            From where?

            I know people who moved from America and Asia and they had to prove that they had at least 15,000 euro in the bank as students. I also know that for the non lucrative visa that could be twice as much. These requirements are dropped if employed by a Spanish company, but honestly that’s quite rare.
