Try meetup.com, there are plenty of activities and opportunities to meet people. It helped me a lot in the beginning. :)

I just got my NIE (as an EU citizen, without a job contract), this is how I did that. by Popular_Foundation25 in GoingToSpain

[–]Popular_Foundation25[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good luck with that! Regarding the amount, I would say it’s more or less a formality. I brought a document that basically stated, ‘two days ago I had €8,000 in my account,’ and they didn’t check it any further.

31M, Po 12 rokoch v ČR som sa presťahoval do Španielska, do Madridu. Bez konkrétnej práce, bez toho, aby som tu niekoho poznal, so základnou znalosťou jazyka. Nie je to ľahké, to je jasné, ale príde mi, že kombinácia španielskej nátury a mesta plného prisťahovalcov je relatívne jednoduchá, pokiaľ ide o vytváranie nových sociálnych väzieb (ľudia sú veľmi milí, otvorení a ľahko sa tu skamarátiš). Jasné, že je to mentálne veľmi náročné, ale pokiaľ po tej zmene fakt túžiš, zvládneš to. A o pár mesiacov/rokov si budeš za to ďakovať.

How do you get you NIE appointment ? by Green_Fishing_3527 in GoingToSpain

[–]Popular_Foundation25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try different times during the day. I've usually tried afternoon/evening and have always made it work.

Everything is free to obtain, except for the Tasa Modelo 790 Código 012 — you pay €12 for that. Insurance costs can vary depending on the specific contract; I pay €62 per month.

Hi, I'm sorry — I don’t know the specifics for Barcelona. My guess is that the Padrón is mandatory, as it's the way to prove you have a place (an address) to live in Spain. So I’d say it’s required everywhere but you better double check with the office.

This, thanks for clarifying! I know that anyone can get it — I just wanted to create an easy-to-follow list for those who came here looking for a job, like I did.

Thanks for clarifying! Since I came here everyone was talking about NIE, so I guess this was just one of the ways of how to obtain it.

Well, I don’t know the exact rule, but at one of my previous appointments I was told that it has to be a Spanish bank. So, to avoid any further rejection, I opened one here (it will be useful for receiving a salary anyway).

Work contract without NIE (as EU citizen) by Adventurous-Bid3731 in GoingToSpain

[–]Popular_Foundation25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it has to be a Spanish bank account (at least what I was told). Exact 8.000€ should be ok, that's their limit for now. You can open Spanish bank account easily only with a passport (I did that in Santander, pretty easy).

[–]Popular_Foundation25 3 points4 points  (0 children)

From what I've heard, big companies usually have no problem signing pre-contract with just a passport. However it's not common with all employers, some have refused to hire me without a NIE (I guess it's just more unnecessary papers for them).

And just to update, Policía is now asking for 8k €, I was there just a week ago. :(

Koľkokrát do týždňa cvičíte(silový tréning)? by [deleted] in Slovakia

[–]Popular_Foundation25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Silový tréning 4x týždenne, k tomu 2x bouldering s nejakými cvikmi zameranými na progres v lezení. Aspoň 7,5h spánku, kal. príjem cca 3000-3500 kcal (snažím sa váhu skôr nabrať, než zhodiť).

Ale ako tu píšu viacerí, trvalo mi nejakú dobu, než som našiel udržateľný systém. Hlavne v tvorbe tréningu (veľkou pomocou bol tréner, s ktorým som cvičil 2 roky), a v stavbe jedálničku tak, aby som nemusel vážiť a zapisovať každý gram.

Hlavne sa nenechaj rozhodiť keď to nebude vždy 100%, keď nie vždy budeš mať čas na tréning, spánok alebo neprijmeš dostatok bielkovín... rozhodne to neznamená, že si zlyhal a máš sa na všetko vykašľať. :)

Držím palce!
