My spouse and I are planning on visiting Barcelona for a bit over week in June. We have U.S. Passports. Do we need any kind of pre-approval? We are considering emmigration or long-term stay. I am still working but of retirement age with an expected retirement income of at least 80K per year. My husband is in his mid-forties with military disability income of around 35K per year. In addition, he has a master;s degree in social work. Does this sound feasible in a smaller city?

No, you can stay in Spain for up to 90 days without any additional paperwork. Staying longer, or choosing to live there permanently, will require a residency visa, but you can worry about that later when you get back to the US. As far as income goes, that certainly sounds like enough money to live in most cities in Spain. It is not a very expensive country to live in at all! Good luck! -Christopher

There are international insurance companies which sell what you usually need to obtain your visa. We needed to show proof of a paid up plan at the NYC embassy. Once we got here and got our residency cards we have switched to a local company with doctor visits , dental etc. Less than what we paid for Medicare and supplemental in the States although we kept our Medicare due to the penalties involved in restarting when/if we return to the States. Hope that helps. If you want company names let me know. Pat

Thank you so much for taking the trouble to reply. We are still in the preliminary stages but this is very helpful.
