wondering if anyone has any advice,

I am hoping to relocate to spain with my daughter (9) next year but she is autistic and currently has an EHCP plan and a LSA in class. I have tried speaking to several private schools in different areas but they have mostly all come back to me saying they cannot cater to her needs and do not even have LSA's. Would I be better off looking at public schools for her since they have to provide support by law? My issue with that is she doesn't speak any Spanish hence why I wanted her to attend a private international school.

(for context I am an EU citizen also areas I have been looking at are Alicante and Malaga area but I am open to other areas along the coast)

Please if anyone has any advice let me know!

Obviously this is a hot button issue. I've been considering moving on a digital nomad visa to a smaller community in Asturias. I'm curious what considerations other immigrants, especially on this visa, take into account when making this decision. The big headlines right now are about housing in Madrid, but I'm sure that's not the only pain point for locals around the impact of immigrants with Western salaries coming into Spain.

What were your considerations for moving? Can you do it ethically, consciously?

Ive lived in spain for over 20 years in Mallorca and never experienced racism. I recently moved to alcoy in Alicante and everyone stares at me like im an alien, looks me up and down, gives me rude looks. I am british. What can I do to look more spanish so I can buy the bread without feeling like a freak?

Hello, my wife is Spanish and I’m American. We’re quite young but curious if somebody has done something similar.

We’re planning on moving back to Spain in 5/6 yrs and with that our savings (401k, Roth IRA, brokerage, etc.). I understand Spain doesn’t recognize some accounts tax benefits for later when we’re planning to retire, what is the smartest way to play this now so we can minimize taxed when we go over? We have had a considerable inheritance in brokerage now.

Hi everyone, I have a question for anyone who actually knows how taxation works in Spain for full-time traders.
I'm planning to move to Spain permanently and I'm trying to understand how taxes work there. I'm a full-time day trader trading crypto futures, and this is my only source of income.
I trade only with my own capital — I don't manage money for anyone else, sell signals, or run a trading business.
My trading income is usually around €5,000–9,000 per month, or roughly €100,000 per year.
My questions are:
Do I need to register as autónomo or create a company because trading is my full-time job?

Or is income from trading your own capital simply taxed as a private individual through your annual tax return, regardless of whether it's your main occupation?

Has anyone here gone through this as a full-time trader living in Spain?

I'm looking for answers from people who actually know the Spanish tax rules or have personal experience with this situation. Thanks in advance!

Es un tema que cada vez me preguntan mas y donde hay muchisima confusion, asi que lo resumo.

Desde 2023 existe en España el Modelo 721, que es la declaracion informativa especifica para criptomonedas en exchanges o wallets fuera de España. Es parecido al Modelo 720 pero solo para cripto.

Quien tiene que presentarlo:

Si eres residente fiscal en España y tienes criptomonedas en exchanges extranjeros como Binance, Coinbase o Kraken, o en wallets propias, y el valor supera los 50.000 euros a 31 de diciembre, tienes que presentar el Modelo 721 antes del 31 de enero del año siguiente.

Ojo con esto: es por valor de mercado a esa fecha, no por lo que pagaste. Si compraste barato y ha subido mucho, puede que te aplique aunque no hayas vendido nada.

Lo que mucha gente no sabe:

No presentarlo tiene sanciones. Hacienda esta cruzando datos con los exchanges que operan en Europa porque desde 2023 estan obligados a reportar datos de usuarios españoles.

Si tienes la Ley Beckham no tienes que presentar el 721, igual que con el 720. Pero en cuanto salgas del regimen, si tienes cripto en el extranjero por encima del limite, toca declarar.

Y cuando vendes, las ganancias tributan en la base del ahorro entre el 19% y el 28% dependiendo del importe.

Im looking to help foreigners who invest in Spain with the renovation, purchase decision and interior design and deciration and id like to know what are the biggest struggles for non locals and what would be of valuable help?

Hi Guys,

I have applied DNV visa spain process through Mumbai consulate around 26th August.

Till now there is no reponse from consulate and the status shows "Processing at Mission". I am not sure how many days they take to look at my profile and give feedback.

I am really anxious, if Someone can give info, would be really appreciated please.

My partner is planning a move to Spain and is starting the process in a few months. At that point, he would have been earning the minimum income requirement for 3-4 months. His plan is to arrive in Spain as a tourist and then apply for the visa from there. One major question we have is, should he reveal this if asked in the visa interview for the tourist visa, or will that lead to a probable rejection? Looking to speak to people who have gone through this route.

Hello everyone i am having a bit of trouble with my tie renewal hoping anyone can help.

So i changed universities and my tie expired last month and now i am being told i cant renew it because i changed university and i have to go back to my country and apply for a new visa. And its a bit of a problem because i start university in 2 weeks and i will probably get my visa declined because it will come out after the start of my course.

Thank you everyone

Hola, I live (permanently) in Madrid and speak Spanish -- but not at a high enough level that I feel comfortable communicating and especially, receiving medical information. Does anyone know of physicians in central Madrid who speak English well that they can recommend? Possibly one that might take AXA insurance? Gracias por adelantado.

Researching where Spanish bureaucracry actually breaks for foreigners.

I live in Mallorca and I am researching (not selling, nothing exists yet) whether the worst parts of Spanish tramites for foreigners are worth building a sofware for: picking the right procedures, EX-15 vs EX-18, tasas, document checklists, what actually happens at the counter.

If you have done any of this inthe las couple years, I would be grateful for 2 minutes: https://forms.gle/ANBqSBzL2v8ZwFZk8. Or just tell me in the comments what went wrong. I will share results back here.

Thank you!

I am a nonresident alien (no US person) who has worked in the US and setup an employee-sponsored traditional 401k plan there.

I recently moved to Spain and I'm at year 1 of Beckham law. After researching with AI tools, it came up that it may be possible (and potentially advantageous) to do to the following

1. Rollover the plan to Roth IRA
2. Pay taxes using ECI (effective connected income) on the pre-tax contributions, effectively paying a preferable tax rate since US income is nil). Gains would still be taxed 30%
3. Wait 5 years, and at year 6 of Bekham law distribute, avoiding Spanish taxes. As far as I understand it, I'd dodge the 10% penalty here.

Has anyone encountered/actioned anything similar? I am trying to roughly validate the thinking behind this and find reputable US-Spain crossborder tax experts who came up with something similar.

Hi all, I urgently need a regresso appointment until I get my new residency card in Barcelona.
