Thank you, this was so helpful. The only thing I wish was covered was for families with young children/babies. What are the daycare options for the little ones under 2? Is there anything different that needs to be considered for families with little ones/babies? What about pregnancy through labor and delivery? - Would love follow up information on that if possible! Thank you!
In Spain, daycare options for children under 2 include public daycare centers, private daycare centers, family daycare, and hiring a nanny. Families with babies should consider age-appropriate facilities, feeding and nutrition needs, and health and safety measures. For pregnancy, labor, and delivery, Spain offers comprehensive healthcare services through public or private clinics. It's important to choose a healthcare provider, such as a gynecologist or midwife, to guide you through the journey. Please note that specific details and requirements may vary based on your location. For more information, consult local authorities, healthcare professionals, or expat support groups.

Hey guys! I love your videos they have been so helpful. I would really love to see an update video of your residency renewal process. Your initial videos where super helpful last year. I would love some guidance once again for the two year non lucrative visa renewal 😊
That’s good to know! Glad it helped 😊 Update on renewal coming soon (because we’re still in the process) We’ve gone through a very interesting experience and can’t wait to share it! 😊
6:45 does this advice (to move in JAN/FEB) apply to Private or international schools as well? In this case this is a directed choice, not el ayuntamiento.
Absolutely love your content and candor around things that matter! Wondering if there are resources/programs in public schools and/or concertades that will help non-Spanish/Catalan speakers pick up the language. I have two school-age children (13 and 10) respectively who I want to integrate into the public school system. Any information would be appreciated. Muchas Gracias!

Hi! How do you find the fireworks in Valencia? I’ve read in a few expats group that it seems like fireworks are a year round thing vs just during Fallas and we have 2 dogs so this is a big thing for us..
We love the fireworks! The expats are correct, they don’t just do fireworks during Fallas, it’s pretty much a year round thing with random pops here and there. The dogs we see on the street don’t seem to mind but I bet there are a lot of anxious ones indoors.
Thanks for your thoughts! I wonder, would someone who would be working full time from home would find the fireworks to be a nuisance while working or it’s just random pops for a few minutes and won’t really disrupt the day to day?
@@holasammie the fireworks outside of march aren’t that often and if it does, it’ll only last a few seconds so it’ll be over even before you are actually interrupted. In our apartment, when we close our windows, we barely hear anything outside. So overall, not too bad 😊
@@EverythingIsBoffo thanks so much! We’re in the process of gathering our requirements for DNV and considering Madrid and Valencia for our tiny family. We hope to meet you when we get there! 😊

Great video again thank you. Forgive me but have you shared any content about the best places to live in Valencia out of the city? There is so much conflicting information and your sources seem quite trustworthy. I was thinking la Cañada? Has anyone got any other viable locations with a good education set up for English speaking ex pats? Appreciated 🙏
Not yet! It's easier to personally be in the city and visit the places yourself. Sometimes, better to stay for a few nights to see which area works for you.
Great video; very helpful! I do wish special-needs topics had been covered though. I know Spain has some special-needs schools and they do their best to integrate SN students into regular school, but I would like to know more specifics on the topic for like kids with Autism and Intellectual Disabilities. Thank you for the video though as it was still very helpful!
When she says best time to move to spain with children in January or February, what happens to their school year from January till end of school year? Can they be with no school during that time or??
I’m not sure i I understand your question but I’m assuming you’re asking if children don’t need to go to school when moving to Spain? If that is your question, then you should know that it is not allowed. Children who move to Spain on a resident visa are required by law to attend school. In fact, Spanish law mandates compulsory education for children between the ages of six and 16. Hope this helps!
@Everything Is Boffo American schools don't let out until May or June typically. The question is do the children not go to school from January until August and miss half the school year? Or perhaps move to online classes if available? Missing half a year would potentially hold a child back a grade. It is a pretty big deal to just not have them do anything. They'd be truant in the US and that's an illegal status. You can be arrested if you don't have your kids go to school. It's concerning
@@rebeccaturner8340 Moving in Jan/Feb would be most applicable for parents whose kids are not school age yet, for example 3 years old. Of course if they need to finish school then the recommendation is to move right after they finish the year, or as soon as possible.
My family is hoping to move to Spain for a year and enroll our kids (14 and 12) in public school. Is the NLV the only possibility? I have enough money in the bank, but I do intend to travel back to the US for work 9 days a month and I believe this would not be allowed with NLV. Would it be possible to get student visas for our kids and since they are minors their dad and I can come along as well. What are our options as a family?
I think NLV will be the best option as you will not be working in Spain. But please contact Marina and her team at Bureaucracy.es/everythingisboffo as they are the experts on this. Thank you for watching!
Depends on how many people are applying. Passive income is not a requirement for this visa as you are not allowed to engage in any work or business activities in Spain. As of 2021, the minimum amount required is €27,115.20 for the main applicant and an additional €6,778.80 for each dependent.
@@EverythingIsBoffo I am single and I will apply for this visa for myself. I was just confused that it was written on many websites that a monthly passive income of 2400 euros is required and it is not possible to apply just by having a saving bank account. I'm glad you mentioned something else. I will apply for this visa soon. thanks for you support 🙏

Hi! watching all your videos in preparation of our plan to retire in Spain sometime next yr ! Can u pls share your experience with regards to taxation. Thanks in advance ❤
Hola! Another great view! This is a very helpful topic for me and my family. I have been wondering how my daughter can go to school in Spain since she is 20 yrs old. She took a gap year and now plans to go to university. She is pretty much dependent on us financially. Well, at least for now. You guys really nailed it. You asked not just about younger kids but those young adults who are still dependent on their parents. We can get this question out of our list :) I have a different question and it's about taxes. Do you guys pay taxes every month or yearly? For NLV, what kind of paperwork do you think is needed for taxes? I assume bank info? We are on our planning stage and trying to get as much information as possible. I know you can't answer much about taxes, but I think this is a good topic for your next video. Maybe you can invite her again :):) Maraming salamat po!
Hey thanks for watching and glad we were able to help answer your question. We are not tax experts by any means so unfortunately we cannot give any advice or info on that! Neither can Marina as that’s not part of their services. But best of luck to you!
Why would you delete such an informative comment? Wow! Ok. Before this comment gets deleted. Please note, that it’s not expensive to get a visa and you don’t have to pay for a lot of these services that they’re driving traffic to, unless of course you don’t mind it. They have their place. There are free resources online and you can do them all yourself inexpensively. There are several subreddit groups as well. In regards to homeschool… While homeschooling in Spain is permitted, it is far from simple. The law states that all children must be in school between the ages of 6 and 16. In fact, parents whose children do not attend school can face fines from the Ministry for Education. Homeschooling can also be a contentious subject in Spain. That said, determined parents can seek more information from the Association for Free Education (Asociación por la libre educación - ALE). I’ve lived in several countries (Malaysia, Thailand, Mexico, to name a few) and I’ve been around entrepreneurial expats for well over 7 years. Be mindful, a lot of research can be done on your own. You don’t have to invest so much money.
No es correcta del todo alguna información . También hay colegios concertados que no son religiosos. En España hay varios idiomas cooficiales, en otras comunidades el idioma principal en para la enseñanza será la de la comunidad: gallego, catalán, euskera en el Pais Vasco.
Esta señora no tiene ni idea de lo que es una escuela concertada, la mayoría ya nada tiene que ver con la religión, como toda la información sea como esa no os fieis de esta es inexacta y confusa
Love the video! People always talk about single people moving, but there's so much more to consider with kids.
True! We’re fortunate we don’t have to worry about it but our friends with kids have a lot more to hurdles to jump through for their move!
Love love love, this video..... Thank you so much.
Parents, look into the Europa School International in Sevilla.
Thank you for the support and kind words! ☺️
so if you move in Feb/Mar and choice-in to schools for your kids. What do they do until it school stars in the fall (Otoño)?
This applies to kids not enrolled in school yet. It’s the most ideal scenario but doesn’t apply to everyone.
