Also, you won’t find work unless you are over here enquiring. People don’t get recruited for work in the UK or Ireland unless they go for an interview or at least to meet their potential manager. Thousands of people apply for jobs online, some are serious and others are dreaming. Obviously you have a firm interest in moving over but you won’t find work without being there. There are people in GC applying for these jobs and they speak Spanish and are physically there, if you see what I mean.

In order to get a mortgage, you would need a Spanish bank account (easy) plus 6 months (I think) payslips to prove that you are earning. You usually have to pay 10% or more deposit. 100% mortgages are almost unheard of for ex-pats in the Canaries. You’d want to rent first anyway until you get to know the various options and areas and decide where exactly you’d like to be based.

I don’t want to dampen your hopes because where there’s a will there’s a way but expecting to find work without being in GC isn’t likely and finding hospital work (even in a morgue where conversation isn’t required!!) without speaking Spanish isn’t going to happen.

If this is your dream, I suggest you take a Spanish course, save up some back-up money and move over here. It’s the best (and only) way.

Let me know if I can help with anything else.

Myself and my partner wish to move to GC one day, he works in a morgue (i know sounds morbib lol) what would the chances of him finding work in a hospital in GC, he does not speak spanish.

Obviously we would not be able to move over until he found a job so he could leave his.

Also would we be able to rent then apply for mortage?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Fishing trips are 60 euros for fishing, 50 for spectating, including lunch and all fishing equipment. I can reserve you a couple places if you like! Palm Beach is really nice, you can get a travel kettle in Argos for about 5 pounds!

Enjoy.
