Thinking about moving to Spain

[u/Agitated_One1080]

Due to recent events in the US, I've been thinking about moving to Spain. I'm 19f, working on getting a GED and passport. I'm thinking about moving to the most affordable city, but I need to figure out a job to afford a place, and how to save to get a Visa and maybe permanent residency. My family doesn't approve, they're sadly racist, but I don't care. Anyone have any advice on the job or house hunting?

Do you speak Spanish? Generally speaking, the south is very affordable. Becoming a waitress in a popular tourist destination might be a good idea.

I don't speak Spanish, but I will definitely learn. A waitress is actually a very good idea, thank you very much.

You can’t come to Spain and become a waitress. To work here, you have to prove that there’s a reason you should be hired over a Spanish person. I’m afraid you moving here is a few years and a lot of work away. You need to come visit various regions, experience the culture, and see if it’s a place you’d actually like to live. Then you need to get an education, learn Spanish, and save money. Then you can explore the different types of visas and which ones you are eligible for. To see the different visas and their requirements, google which Spanish consulate serves your state, and explore their website. All the information you need about the regulations and requirements for moving to Spain are there.
