Hey all,
I've been reading a lot of forum threads about people moving to Spain and I've seen that you are very helpful with your advices
My understanding is that Spain is in a very bad shape and is almost impossible to find a job as a foreigner. I'm 26 and I will move to La Linea/Gib to work for a Gib gambling company as a Software Developer. I'm planning to bring my girlfriend with me but I'm not sure she will find any work considering the current situation. Currently she is working in the textile industry as a Pattern Maker and in case she decides to come with me she'll resign from her current job. I think I will earn enough to support both of us but I don't know what are the exact monthly expenses for her considering she'll be unemployed. How much do you think we would need to live a good life there ?
Below are some of the expenses I was thinking about that we'll need to pay for her:
1. Healthcare insurance - if we'll choose to live in Spain she will need a private health insurance. Do you know approximatively how much does it cost per month? ? (If we get married I think the Gib public health care system will cover her too, right? )
2. After 90 days of staying in Spain we'll need to register as residents. Do we need to prove each that we have a monthly income and if not prove that we have a 5000 EUR deposit / person?
3. Are you aware of any other tax we'll need to pay for her?
Thanks in advance!!!
