Amazing info/video. Me and my wife are traveling to Spain to see if it’s a possibility to move and we loved our time in Portugal but figured Spain has a better infrastructure to raise our son. There is so much changing in Spain it’s hard to keep up.. this method seems to be the closest possible solution to live in Spain before becoming residence compared to other methods requiring so much. We actually considered the golden visa as well so we can sell our home here n just move there but they’re abolishing that soon it seems…
Portugal is also a nice place for sure. In terms of the VISA situation, the golden visa indeed appears to be on the way out. However, with the introduction of the Digital Nomad Visa this might be an option for you :)

Good
What are minimum financial requirement? Like capital
You mean to register as autonomo? None - you're not a real company :)
@FriiInfo what are financial requirements for sole-proprietorship I mean to ask
How much do you have to pay in the pension system and what do you get out of it?
So when you pay social security (whether as an employee or as autonomo), you contribute to the pension system. The problem is, that you have to pay into the system for at least 15 years to qualify, (including the two years before applying), and, of course, you must be of the pension age.
You will only get the full pension after contributing to the system for 37.5 years.
The average pension is 1100€ per month.
So, this is not financial advice, but please don't count on the Spanish pension system to pay for your senior years.
Great videos on your channel! May i ask how you experience the summers in the Malaga area. I heard from several people that its unbearable hot 🥵. Or are you moving somewhere else in sommer?
Thank you!
I don't necessarily avoid the area in summer. It's true that we have days with 35+ degrees. But it's far from every day. If you don't like 30-35 degrees then yea, maybe avoid being here in July and August.
Although it should be added that we have some very pleasant days of 28-30 ☀️🌴🏖️
❤❤❤ Asad Singapore good news
Can we do both?
1. Work as an employee in spainish company/restaurant?
And
2. Open TH-cam channel and earn from it while not leaving our job the whole time????
Good question!
Yes, you can. However, it's a bit of a hastle as you will have to pay social security from your side income as well.
Have a look at this article for more details:

@@FriiInfo i read it, but can you make it clear?
Do we need to register and start paying social security/taxes after TH-cam channel is monatized?
@@hashmihere6379 In theory, yes. The moment you generate any type of income, it has to be declared. That means registering as autonomo and paying (some) social security. So technically you can lose money if your channel is only generating limited income as you have to account for the social security and probably also an accountant. But you could check with an accountant.
Depending on your content, you can also create an LLC in the US, and declare the income yearly as foreign income in Spain. That way you avoid the autonomo part. However, that is a bit of a grey area.
Hope that helps!
@@FriiInfo thank you so much for responding ... I am new in Spain and you can feel the struggle 😂
A thing about LLC Part... If we open a LLC in USA , then we would have to pay taxes in USA as well on our income.
Wouldn't that make things worse?
@@hashmihere6379 Unless you're a US citizen, I don't see why you would have to pay taxes in the US. Your company's status there would be non-resident.
Haha beach tax. Love that!
Yeah, we better take full advantage of the beach ☀️
Quite frankly, autonomo sucks.
.. I think most autonomos agree with you
