I hate when people do these videos but keep the cameras on their face 90% of the time
Great video, it looks beautiful. Thanks for sharing about the retirement visa. Can we expect more this type of content along with your travel videos?
Absolutely! It's a new format for the channel, but I have a few retirement videos in the works along with the usual travel stuff.
How to apply online
Hi, here is the link to the government website. The instructions for applying are contained within. residency.mu/retire/retired-non-citizen-50-years/
Great information thanks for sharing. I might look into this further. Great channel too
Thanks for watching. It appears to be quite an appealing visa. Best of luck.

Thanks for the update however once I am planning to submit my application in February, however, I will rent for a while then check out the market for an apartment so we will see how it goes thanks again
That's a good plan. Also, this is not law yet, and hopefully, it won't pass.
A socialist government, it is what we all need.
Socialists becoming communists.
It's more intended to send a signal to people planning to buy property in Spain and make money out of it. With the current government, it will become very, very difficult to do that...and it won't matter whether you are from the EU or not...
Spain is being bought out by rich foreigners, foreign companies and governments to profit from driving up prices and reselling. Money laundering is also an anterior motive here. The new proposed law must target these groups not the average retiree.
I would agree.
Ridiculous if it becomes law. The main purchasers in Spain are from Scandinavia, Holland and other Northern European countries (some also from East Europe). I thought you decided to leave Spain?
I agree. Hopefully, that doesn't become law. I did leave, but I will always be back to visit, and I follow the news still. It's a great country, still lots left to explore.
Wrong the main purchasers of Spain are the Chinese, Russians and Saudi governments who set up shell companies in Spain to land grab.
If I understand correctly, being aimed at non-resident and non-European, the tax would not apply to non European people who choose to become Spanish residents despite being non-European (UK, USA & CDN for the most part). That appears to be a very small pool of people and will have minimal impact. Plus it may reduce tourism, which ahs been an important part of the economic growth of Spain. I think you previously mentioned that you moved to Spain and did become a resident so it would not apply to you if you had purchased real estate and I do not think too many individuals wish to own real estate and not reside there full time (perhaps a few wealthy people with residences in multiple countries, e.g. middle east money in Marbella). This is a supply demand equation. I think it would be better to address the supply situation. Increased supply would help to get rid of investors and keep rental prices down. Hope all is well, I continue to enjoy your videos.
Yes, exactly, it is focused on non EU persons. I know there are a large group of North Americans, mostly close to retirement, are looking at purchasing property in Spain. We will have to wait and see what actually gets passed through parliament. Thanks for watching.
Hi, I’m wondering if I’m able to get a hold of you over the phone is that possible? I’m from Canada planning to go and live in Spain if I can.
Email is best at the moment. I'm currently traveling. Address is emptymiddleseat@gmail.com

Glad it was helpful!

Those numbers are in the cost of living videos
If he's going to be sailing around the Great Lakes, then the best location to sail is at Manitoulin Island in Lake Huron.

Are there in fuengirola stil houses to buy
There still are, but the price is rising. Check on the idealista website.

Wow.

Benidorm is a carehouse for old cheap people! English gettos drinking day and night!
A lot of resentment from the locals because they can t rent or buy anymore! For me Thailand vietnam and Cambodia are the best! Locals make hardly 1000 eurosso impossible for them to buy or rent!
There has definitely been a lot of backlash against tourists and expats. I'll be checking out Asia this year for the first time.
Ha ha ha. What's the 40 cents for?
I lived in Chippolata del Plata Oro Sangre del Mar but I moved to Birmingham.
I like Fuengirola. Especially with pepperoni. Fuengirola is exclusive. At least it was till I moved in.
I am not originally from Ireland. I moved there by mistake.
Are the people in Fuengirola called Fungi ?
I spent many years in Spain when I was in the Luftwaffe.
Spain is lovely. They got food. They got weather. They got awesome politics. Affordable if you have a rich daddy. Detroit is cheaper though. Dangerous for bald people. They don't speak French. No random crime. They target rich Canadians on a twit visa. Only takes 14 years and a hundred grand immigration lawyer. Spanish officials will instantly approve you. All you need is a few buckets of cash. They hate Americans. Just like Toronto. Non of your electronics will work. Cheap public urinals. Bring your own women. I was treated like a long lost prisoner. Great place for oversize sun glasses.
Glad to see you go.
I've seen reference from worker that meet is chemical poison !

Big brother at its best!!
This is a gift to scammers and cyber criminals.
Amazing, really thinking about moving there with family from Canada. But now spanish government canceled golden visa.
@goranradonjic2369 it's a great place to live. A lot of governments are starting to get rid of their golden visas.
Halifax was so much better in the past.
I would agree
What happens if you are staying with friends in their house?
Great question. I do not know the answer, my guess would be that this new rule might not apply to people visiting friends, only people staying on the economy.
If a family member is coming to someones house in Spain you now have to go the police station and inform them get a permission form filled out send it to the people in the UK who are coming and they have to bring it with them this is crazy and it's unlikely you'll get asked but this is the correct way and you could get stopped at the airport plus proof of spending money per person . 😠😠👍🏴🦊 They call it a invitation letter or police certificate.
@ Thanks for the information .
@@kathleenirvine8360 No worries I live in Spain and this is correct but I would say it's unlikely to be stopped but if you were they could refuse entry the world's gone mad Tek care 👍🏴🦊
@ColinAtkins-j3h thanks for the info, never heard of that
You're delusional if you think they will stop there. This highly radical Spanish government hates tourism.
I have noticed the backlash against tourism across Europe, Spain seems to be leading the way. I see governments are also getting rid of their golden visa regimes. I imagine more data collection will be on the way in the future.
If you had chosen a Buyer's agent instead of a Seller's agent, you could have looked at all of the properties you were interested in.
That's spain fooked then
