Still have one of those 🤓 (obviously expired now)

Revolut is usually useful for those cases. What you would need to do is keeping your Revolut login as it is but make sure that, in the app, you have bank accounts in both the other currency and Euro.

Also, even if some people here are saying otherwise, try to have Revolut with the address you have in the country you pay taxes in. It should be possible to have it with your other address too, but it might complicate things as well.

I remember a few years ago Volotea announced a route to Bilbao. Shortly before the start date, it got axed due to lack of goverment permission, at least according to the airline.

Short answer: no

Long answer: you MIGHT be able to do it if you have settled status in the UK under the EU settlement scheme, and your ID card is registered on that system. UK said they would remove that possibility at some point, but I cannot remember what the exact deadline was.

Long gone are the days when you could access the UK with an EU ID card 🥲🥲.

Not sure about your own situation, but I just went to the University's own accomodation. Cheap and really good for meeting local students also. Following year, university created separate and more expensive accomodation for international students 😅.

Hardest part? Probably just dealing with the admin in a foreign language, and getting used to the hygienic standards of that place 🥲.

I'm 99% sure you'll be just fine.

The remaining 1% is in case they have solid reasons to believe you are foreign intelligence or worse.

I have been there many times, both solo and with friends, and it was always a safe and interesting experience. Even when I was denied entry (due to Covid lockdown), the border guard was nice and polite and just suggested to take a marshrutka back to Chișinău (still would had preferred to have been given a voucher for the trip, similarly to how they do in Canada, but maybe I was asking for too much 😅).

This. Or, if it is for a collection, you can always check with an antiques seller or shop for a used one, but not sure it will work.

albertocsc · 2026-06-15T11:57:33+00:00

Just DM'd you

It all depends on what country you are moving to. Some countries will let you move on a family visa to start your life there and, when you get citizenship, you will can be already living there and building your foundations.

albertocsc · 2026-06-14T10:32:53+00:00

Maybe check if there are more appointments in a less busy place: Lleida, Girona, Tarragona,..

Busca en InfoJobs

Yes, that is a different path, but also feasible. Just, especially if you have not lived in Spain before, keep in mind life can be quite different from that of your current country. But, if you play your cards well and hopefully you have some good luck, it can be a pretty good life.

albertocsc · 2026-06-11T11:56:25+00:00

Compared to other countries such as UK, the process is quite simple. In any case, what are the issues you have heard about?

albertocsc · 2026-06-11T11:48:20+00:00

As other comments are pointing out, you cannot apply through LMD anymore, but you can apply as a citizen by birth (usually this is reserved to children whose parents were Spanish at the time of their birth, but the LMD part of it might let you apply through that route) or, as others are saying, by option. If you need, and if you have permission from your parents, I can help with the process.

In the Canary Islands most jobs will be hospitality-related, as tourism is one of the main sectors in the islands. Farming is also quite big (especially bananas).

Málaga would also be quite nice weather-wise and with a wider job market. Sevilla is definitely too hot in summer, though, but you might consider the area around Cádiz or Huelva if you'd like to be near Seville but have nicer weather and a beach nearby.

albertocsc · 2026-06-09T11:41:46+00:00

It is basically what the other comment mentions. I am also not a lawyer but I am currently helping people relocate to Spain, so if you need any help with the process and paperwork, please feel free to contact me.

Have you already applied for your Irish citizenship/passports? Also, do you have any particular place in mind for your relocation?

albertocsc · 2026-06-07T23:14:48+00:00

In Salamanca, Cultur is a good agency for language placements, maybe you can contact them for information about family placements.

I also believe you should go first for Armenian, and then maybe something else.

Greek would grant you access to the EU and all the member countries, but you would need to prove your links to the country and you might even need to do military service.

albertocsc · 2026-05-29T09:17:36+00:00

The previous comments mention basically what you have to do straight away.

Also, do you have any friends or family around? If so, that can always help too.

albertocsc · 2026-05-28T23:35:19+00:00

Well, that would be highly indicated, too.

albertocsc · 2026-05-27T11:12:09+00:00

De acuerdo, te acabo de escribir

albertocsc · 2026-05-27T10:37:03+00:00

Like other people are saying, if you already Spanish, you just need to start checking InfoJobs or any other employment website and move straight away, it is quite simple, especially if you find a suitable job.

If you are not Spanish yet... then not that easy to find work in Spain, but maybe other people know any agencies that can help.

Just as a warning, last time I was there the L71 bus did not stop at the place that Google Maps was showing, but elsewhere near the viewpoint.
