In recent years, remote work has become increasingly popular. This happens not only in Russia and Spain, but also in the world as a whole. And indeed, if home conditions allow it, if self-organization is not lame and being at home does not disrupt the work rhythm, remote work brings only advantages and bonuses: you have more free time, you can save on transportation costs, and if the nature of your work allows you, you can even flexibly plan your day. And for travel lovers, remote work is the only possible option.<\/p>\n
If you have a dream to move to Spain, even for a while, to live in this country not as a tourist, but as a permanent resident, to experience all the local peculiarities, to immerse yourself in Spanish everyday life, but at the same time bypass the regional labor market, remote work in Spain will be the optimal solution.<\/p>\n
There are two options: move to Spain, already being a freelancer and having a job, or start looking for remote work from Spain on the spot. Both the first and second options are perfect for IT specialists, online trainers and teachers, online consultants, programmers and website developers, bloggers, copywriters, translators, etc.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Working remotely in Spain: benefits<\/h2>\n
What is so attractive about working remotely in Spain:<\/p>\n
\n
- Firstly, the relative proximity to the homeland: there is no need to fly far overseas, and if necessary, a trip home can be organized not only by plane, but also by car.<\/li>\n
- Secondly, the opportunity to travel throughout Schengen, because Spanish residence permit<\/a> (or study visa) gives its holder the right to free movement within the territory of the Schengen countries.<\/li>\n
- Thirdly, relatively inexpensive life: compared to Germany, France, Belgium, Holland and other European countries, housing in Spain is much cheaper (both for purchase and for rent), the cost of the consumer basket is significantly lower, as well as a more favorable climate, which allows you to cross off the item on winter clothes and shoes from the list of expenses.<\/li>\n
- Fourthly, life in Spain with its mild Mediterranean climate allows you to combine work with active recreation and sports all year round.<\/li>\n
- Fifthly, private medicine in Spain<\/a> is affordable, so health insurance for the whole family will not make a hole in the budget, as it could happen in Germany.<\/li>\n
- Sixth: remote work from Spain does not require a mandatory right to work. You can stay in the country on a study visa or with residence permit without the right to work<\/a>, maintaining the status of a tax non-resident and resolving all tax issues in the country of fiscal residence.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Working remotely in Spain: possible difficulties<\/h2>\n
The main problem for moving and working remotely from Spain seems to be finding housing. If you have your own property, the problem disappears. If we are talking about rent, you will have to work hard to find a loyal landlord who is ready to rent out an apartment or house without documents confirming the presence of a stable job in Spain itself (i.e. without an employment contract). Often the problem can be solved with the help of a bank aval or an increased insurance deposit.<\/p>\n
