My husband and I are US citizens living in Prague for the past two years, but his job was just made redundant and his work permit (and thus our residency visas) ends in October. Since I am a journalist and can live anywhere in Europe to do my job, we'd like to move to Spain. Our only problem is getting the appropriate work permit. I'll be making my way to the Spanish consulate in Prague this week, but since my Czech and Spanish are both a bit rudimentary to try and explain what I need, I was hoping someone on this board could confirm that the option still exists. I'm also assuming we can submit our paperwork to the consulate here in Prague rather than go back to the US. Can anyone confirm that -- I know at least one member of this forum is a non-EU citizen who also lived in the Czech Republic before moving to Spain. Perhaps she knows? Thanks in advance for any info.
I think the person you're referring to is an EU citizen, British, but has spent time in Prague before retiring to Spain where her son is living and working???????? I cant think of anyone else on the Spain forum?? Anyway, I'm sure she, or anyone else with knowledge will help you.

I personally have not heard of work permits for a long time, only visas, which are given if you are sponsored by a company that has agreed to employ you and its they who do the initiating and organising. I'm sure someone knowledgeable will be a long to help you as best they can shortly
