Burn the Boats
When we were young, there was a famous story about burning the boats, linked to Tarak bin Ziyad. This phrase became symbolic of full commitment, with no turning back. Spain is that place, a beautiful country that attracts people for vacations, but also for work opportunities. Many people now visit the historical sites associated with this story, reminding them of determination.
Spain as a Destination:
Spain is not just a place for holidays; it’s a country where many dream of living and working. People love to visit and explore its beauty, but now it’s also becoming a hub for freelancers. Those who are interested in working independently can take advantage of the freelancing program offered here.
Freelancing and Work Permit:
Today, I am sharing valuable information for people who want to start freelancing or their own business in Spain. You don’t need anyone’s help or sponsorship. This is an opportunity for those who want to work for themselves. Whether you’re in the beauty industry, planning to open a takeaway restaurant, or have any other business idea, Spain offers a freelancing program that lets you settle and work legally. This program is considered part of the same category as a work permit. I’ll share how you can come to Spain and work as a freelancer. If you’re interested, this freelancing visa starts with a one-year term. Once you settle and establish yourself, it gets extended for two years. After a year, you can even bring your family to Spain.
Program Details:
This program is for non-Europeans, and it’s already in effect. Many non-Europeans, including those from Pakistan, are taking advantage of it. Freelancers are already established here, and it’s a huge opportunity for those who wish to work remotely or establish a business in Spain.
Requirements:
To get started, you don’t need a visa sponsorship. I’ll take you through the necessary documents and requirements. You need no criminal record, medical clearance, experience letters related to your field, health insurance, and proof of some savings in your bank account. Once you have these documents ready, you can apply for this program and start your freelancing journey in Spain.
Non-European Visa for Freelancers:
Non-European nationals can easily apply for this program. Once you arrive in Spain, you’ll initially receive a one-year visa, followed by an extension for two years. After working for a year, you’ll also be able to call your family to join you in Spain.
Taxes and Other Expenses:
Initially, when you start freelancing, you won’t be taxed heavily, as the program is designed to support small-scale businesses at the beginning. However, as your business grows, you will be required to pay taxes. You’ll also need to cover basic living costs like rent, utility bills, and local taxes, such as garbage collection and road taxes.
Conclusion:
This freelancing program in Spain offers a wonderful opportunity for non-Europeans to work independently and potentially bring their families after a year of successful freelancing. With the right documentation, commitment, and determination, you can make a secure future in this beautiful country.
