I am planning on moving to Spain from NYC. Im an American, lived only here, but I need a change. Considering moving in a few years (3 or so). I don't even know where to start, but I know I have a lot of planning to do, so I was wondering if anyone could help me. Can anyone provide me with any type of helpful information they know of? I'm talking anywhere from document information to moving your belongings, etc. etc. I have no clue how to begin, so any help would be appreciated- thanks!

best thing to do is find a company that needs your skills and have them take care of the details. otherwise, contact the spanish embassy and they will walk you through applying for a visa, etc. very good places to live are sevilla, madrid, barcelona or most anywhere on the coast.
buena suerte!

You just can't move to a foreign country...You can go visit, but you can't go to live and work without permission of that country.
Contact a Spanish Embassy in your country and find out the rules for immigration.
