					<description><![CDATA[Buying a property in Spain does not grant someone residency. Obtaining Spanish residency is a separate process &#8211; an often complicated and slow one. However, you can speed it up by applying for a golden visa. The Golden Visa was introduced in 2013 as an incentive to invest in the Spanish real estate sector. One of the requirements is to acquire property with a value over €500,000. This can be one or more properties.  There are many benefits of the Golden Visa that make it a tempting route for building a life in Spain. The visa grants rights to live and work in Spain, as well as freedom to move around the Schengen area for non-EU applicants. It also aids subsequent applications for direct family member’s residency applications.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The short answer: yes, any foreign citizen with a residence permit can apply for ‘protected housing’. But there is, of course, more to it than that.&#160; Properties categorised as Viviendas de Protección Oficial (VPO), or Viviendas Protegidas, are a form of affordable social housing in Spain. Allocating VPOs is done by drawing lots or by income level, depending on the region of Spain where they are located. In general, to buy a house in Spain it is enough to have a Foreigners&#8217; Identification Number (NIE). These can even be filed for from outside of Spain, though the corresponding taxes are paid in Spain. Similarly, if a mortgage is needed, the most logical thing to do is to take one out from a Spanish financial institution or from a foreign bank with Spanish presence. In some cases, however, the foreign buyer must have an account opened with a Spanish bank, as we will discuss later.&#160; According to data from the Basque housing service (Etxebide) published in the newspaper &#8216;El Correo&#8217;, 25% of the beneficiaries in 2017 in the Basque Country were foreigners due to their low income, double the figure for 2012. The Basque registration system uses a scale, which gives....]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Do you want to save money while refurbishing your property? There are many ways to cut costs when doing renovations but we want to bring your attention to two key questions to consider. Am I entitled to public aid for building work? If I am entitled to this public aid, do I need a technical report? The Informe de Evaluación del Edificio de Viviendas for the Comunitat Valenciana (IEEV.CV) is a technical report that records the state of a residential building. It is concerned with the property’s conservation, accessibility conditions and energy assessment. It is important to note that, even if you do not wish to seek public aid, your Town Hall might request you to do an evaluation if your property is over 50 years old.  Experienced technicians should be qualified to help you carry out the evaluation. There is a free downloadable IEEV.CV application guide available for download on the Regional Ministry of Housing, Public Works and Territorial Organisation website.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[As we have written about before, we highly recommend that foreigners with assets in Spain have a Spanish will. This may seem like a daunting process when out of the country but in fact it is possible and easy to get a Spanish will authorised from abroad. First, a will has to be drafted. We recommend consulting a qualified lawyer for this, but this can easily be done over email. After the drafting, the only thing left to do is to get the document legalised. This does not need to be done in Spain; any public notary in your home country can do this.&#160; Once legalised, simply courier the legalised copy to a Spanish lawyer and they can finalise the process. A Spanish lawyer can take an authorised copy of your will and make sure it is registered at the Last Will Registry.&#160;&#160; We hope this helps you understand the steps you need to take to get a Spanish will authorised from abroad. Do not hesitate to get in touch if you have any more questions or need support with will or inheritance issues.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[You’ll have seen the signs on the outside of walls – a circle with a line through it that seems to appear at every spot where you want to park. The ‘vado’ sign is usually found outside garages, entrances to driveways and other places where, if you parked, you would block access.&#160;&#160; The ‘vado permanente’ includes a municipal licence number and means that parking is prohibited. Vehicles parked in front of one might be towed away. Vados are generally respected:&#160; the threat of having to pay to get your car back from the local pound is a powerful disincentive. But the question is : If I have a &#8220;vado permanente&#8221; sign in front of my own house, can I park there? Many people think that if their garage has a vado sign but is used only by them that they are entitled to park in front of it. It may seem reasonable: after all, if the garage is theirs, they are not blocking the way for anyone but themselves. However, if you have a vado sign at your garage door, property or home does not mean you can park there. Bear in mind that a tow truck is entitled to....]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[What are these documents? An NIE (Foreigner Identification Number) and a TIE (Foreigner Identity Card) are closely related but serve different vital purposes. A NIE number has to be requested by any foreign citizen who intends to pay taxes in Spain, for instance, when purchasing a property. This is the case even if they don&#8217;t require Spanish residency. Thus, having a NIE does not imply being able to remain in Spain.  A TIE is an identity card that primarily serves as proof of permission to reside or remain in Spain for a specific period of time. Among other information about immigration status, it displays the holder’s NIE. The TIE is not indefinitely valid and requires renewal. Your NIE number will never change, even if you renew your TIE, and will always be linked to you, only you. It appears on the driver’s licenses or health insurance cards issued to you. It fulfills a role similar to that of a Spanish citizen’s national identity card (DNI).  TIEs are not routinely issued to citizens of EU countries. They can instead obtain a certificate to prove their status as residents and their address; it is a green piece of paper. Unlike a TIE card, this is not a form of....]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[With economic uncertainty all around, now more than ever is the time to make small household changes to lower our monthly bills. As of September 2019, the average monthly electricity bill is 56 euros per household, as shown in the simulator of the National Commission of Markets and Competition (CNMC). Yet, we already anticipate that this year the average amount will far exceed that. With working from home and possibly homeschooling, here are some important ways to lower bills. Turn off electronic devices not in use Telecommuting and home schooling will increase electricity consumption during peak hours from electronic device use and lighting. The Organization of Consumers and Users (OCU) calculated a 28% increase in electricity consumption in homes in April 2020 alone, in full This amounted to a 10 euro increase in electricity bills. Before starting work for the day, make sure non-essential appliances and lights are switched off. Don&#8217;t abuse the air conditioning Compared to working in an office, it may be nice to have full control of the air conditioning. Yet, you have to be careful because comfort can cost. Using the air conditioning at home can cost you about 1.2 euros per working day. Being at....]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Foreign nationals who wish to enter Spain to visit or reside with their partner may visit the corresponding Consular Office and&#160;submit documentary evidence accrediting&#160;the stable and lasting nature of their relationship, analogous to that of a&#160;de facto&#160;partnership. If their assessment is positive and approval is obtained from the Ministry of Home Affairs, the Consular Office will issue a substantiating certificate so that the foreigner may present it to the airline. The final decision about compliance with the requirements will be carried out by the migration authorities at the entry checkpoint. What documents may be presented? (non-exhaustive list) – Proof that the&#160;foreigner is travelling with the EU citizen or to be reunited with them: plane tickets on the same flight; notarized statement by the EU citizen, etc. – Proof of the&#160;stable and lasting relationship (non-exhaustive, non-exclusive list of documents): documents from local authorities reflecting the existence of the&#160;lasting relationship&#160;(these documents must be notarised or legalized). documents from Spanish authorities or bodies:&#160;proof of an appointment to enter into a contract of marriage in Spain, registration on the census, etc. joint rental contracts, joint bank account statements, joint invoices, joint ownership of assets, invitations to family events such as weddings, etc.]]></description>
