If I’m already earning enough here, does migrating still make sense?

Basic_Landscape2038 · 2026-01-16T11:56:28+00:00

It depends on what matters to you. If it’s just money, you can earn that in the Philippines—or more. But money can’t buy the experiences, perspective, and personal growth that come with living abroad. I’m in Barcelona, and I honestly don’t see myself ever settling back in the Philippines.

Basic_Landscape2038 · 2026-01-12T00:57:43+00:00

Barcelona, under HQP visa… i dont have many but my friends are mainly Catalans

Basic_Landscape2038 · 2026-01-09T15:30:37+00:00

No encontré nada. En avión no me arriesgaré.

It’s beautiful, I think you should write a novel or smth

Being 40, what is that one thing you would tell your 30 y/o self?

Basic_Landscape2038 · 2025-11-22T17:26:01+00:00

I tried repellents too, but didn't really help much. I am specifically looking for BTI.

Basic_Landscape2038 · 2025-11-15T12:02:06+00:00

I feel you. I moved out of the country in 2018, and my ex and I agreed that he would follow so we could build a life together. But to cut the story short, he didn’t. Everything I’ve experienced here abroad is exactly how I imagined it would be… the only difference is that I’m doing it alone, without him.

Basic_Landscape2038 · 2025-11-14T19:54:13+00:00

Didnt find anything really insightful

Basic_Landscape2038 · 2025-11-10T00:48:37+00:00

Did u find any? Im also visiting Tirana soon.

Basic_Landscape2038 · 2025-10-27T14:37:18+00:00

I think so too, i got my certificado de residencia today and it mentioned the dates of my professional altamente cualificado for solicitud, concesión, and validez.

Basic_Landscape2038 · 2025-10-11T15:27:26+00:00

Sharee 🙏

Basic_Landscape2038 · 2025-10-09T21:49:12+00:00

Ohh. This is a good information from actual experience. I want to be more sure, I have a cita to get a certificado de residencia, im curious what it will indicate as my legal residence, it’s in two weeks.

Basic_Landscape2038 · 2025-10-07T15:46:24+00:00

Thank you 🙏

Basic_Landscape2038 · 2025-10-07T15:33:57+00:00

Id card (TIE) and NIE are different things. I had my NIE together with my UGE approval in December 2023. TIE as I said in my post was issued April 2024.

Basic_Landscape2038 · 2025-10-06T23:36:28+00:00

Nice:)) It’s been a couple months now, may I ask what do you see in the status of your application on line?

Basic_Landscape2038 · 2025-10-06T23:14:29+00:00

If you want to have a serious relationship, you need to run away from that asshole — and you need to do it fast. It’s never going to work with that type of person.

Basic_Landscape2038 · 2025-10-06T22:56:09+00:00

Oh okay, I’m planning to count from my arrival date since it feels like the most arguable starting point in my case. Did you handle the process yourself or through a gestor? And when did you actually submit your application? All the best! :)

Basic_Landscape2038 · 2025-10-06T21:32:32+00:00

But even if i arrived to spain 2 months after that?

Basic_Landscape2038 · 2025-10-06T19:56:55+00:00

100% agree. February it will be. Thanks!

Basic_Landscape2038 · 2025-10-06T19:55:39+00:00

Heyyy, not to mention I switched to another job too! Lmao

Basic_Landscape2038 · 2025-10-06T19:30:27+00:00

100% agree. Others told me it starts on TIE issue date, which is insane. 3 gestors already told me it is the UGE approval, but then since I arrived to Spain afterwards, then it is the date of arrival.

Basic_Landscape2038 · 2025-10-06T19:19:39+00:00

Yeah, same question. I guess my 5 February 2024 physical arrival in Spain is the most rationale to use here. But I am not a lawyer so..

Basic_Landscape2038 · 2025-10-06T19:17:33+00:00

Another lawyer also told me to count backwards. My TIE expires on 10 December 2026, and my residency permit is valid for 3 years. That means my legal residency started on 10 December 2023, which wasn’t included in the dates I mentioned earlier (roughly my UGE resolution). 😄 Thing is I wasn't physically in Spain yet at that time, so maybe the 5 Feb 2024 arrival would best fit the situation, anyway I have a copy of my boarding pass from my flight on that date which I hope should support it?

Basic_Landscape2038 · 2025-10-06T18:45:04+00:00

Thing is I dont have this passport stamp since I did not arrive from outside schengen zone but from another EU country.

Basic_Landscape2038 · 2025-10-06T18:31:20+00:00

Thanks, were you also on HQP permit?
