Agency fees? by MTMT
I have been looking at some postings on websites like idealista, and it turns out that those postings from agencies, the real estate agency is asking an agency fee of 1-2 months rent! I understand they're doing a job - but this is a bit ...

Taxes for US citizens? by happier暗网禁区
I'm considering moving to Spain and one concern is taxes since as per US law, I'll still have to pay US income tax. 1. Is Spain like Canada where I only have to pay the difference? (So if I'm paying 17% US income tax and Canadian income ...

Interesting customs and traditions in Spain by Priscilla
Hello everyone, Living outside of our home country requires us to adapt to a new culture and different traditions. What are some of the cultural specifics in Spain? What are some of the traditional beliefs and cultural practices that you have ...

I've been happy with the electric plug-in radiator we bought from Carrefour. Seems to do the job and we haven't yet had to go beyond the 1000w setting (it goes up to 2500w). Not sure how it would compare to a gas heater in terms of energy ... Read More

Hi all, I am having some problems signing up as self-employed in Spain and wondered if anyone else has had a similar experience and/or has a solution. My original plan was to obtain an NIE number using the EX-15 form, then sign up at the Hacienda, ...
Hi John, I have finally completed the process, so this can perhaps act as a guide for those who are unable to easily obtain a NIE through the EX-15 form. - First, I went to the Comisaria with the EX-15 form completed. I told them that I wanted to ... Read More
