Hello.
The reason i'm creating this topic is because of a job opportunity i might get in Fuengirola (30 km away from Marbella) in Spain at the end of this year where i have some questions about working in Spain.
Now you might think 'wtf, are NightmareX really gonna move from Norway to Spain to work there?'. Well yeah, we all knows that the jobs down in Spain these days (specially after the financial crisis back in 2007) aren't really that great. And i'm sure we all can agree on that. However, i might actually get me a job down there that actually are REALLY great.
Lets talk more about this job.
What makes this job so great is that i'm a Norwegian and the job down in Fuengirola is a Norwegian company. Because of that, i only have to speak Norwegian under the job there to (because we only assists Norwegian customers in Norway). That's not the only good thing with the job. The job also provides good payments, free place to live the first month (hostel) while i take the courses i have to take for the job that lasts for 1 month where i also get full payments under the courses to. On top of that, the company also helps me to get the residence & working permits and ofc health insurance via the job.
Now, i have been working for this company before here in Norway, so i might have a bigger chance of getting this job as the Sales Manager i had when i was working for them earlier was REALLY happy with my work there. So if the manager for the job in Spain calls him (as a reference), then he will say good words about me. And if that happens, i will get the job i'm sure.
If that happens, there will be some good things and it will be some bad things happening. Lets start with the bad things first.
1. I will be moving from the beautiful Norway to Spain (Fuengirola). Well, now Spain is pretty beautiful to, so i'm not really complaining . 2. I will go inactive in EVE for longer periods of times. No, i'm not quitting EVE. I'm just taking breaks, so you can't have my stuffs .
Now to the good things.
1. I will work for a company i know it's good. 2. I will live in a place where i can escape snow and cold weathers, lol. The average temprature around the whole year in Fuengirola is @ 18 degrees celcius. 3. I will live close to 8 km of sandy beaches. Yeah, i wont be sitting inside the appartment playing games then. 4. Fuengirola is a tourist place, so there are tons of activities around the place. 5. I will get the oppoturnity to experience something new on how it is to live and work outside of Norway.
Now, i do have some questions for those who does knows alot about Spain though.
1. How much is the tax rate at?
In Norway it's at 36%.
2. How many work hours are the normal there?
In Norway it's 8 hours where 30 mins of that are for launch.
3. How much crime are there in Fuengirola?
4. How good is the health care there?
5. How much does a pretty good modern appartment there cost on average?
6. I'am crazy for moving all the way from Norway down to Fuengirola in Spain to work there ?
I'm sure there are peoples here that are from Spain that can answer my questions here. So i'm just saying thanks in advance for answering them.
That was my questions so far. I might add new questions in a new post later if i have more question.
EDIT: As i'm living in Troms++ in Norway now, i found this webpage that compares prices on different things between different places. And the price differences from Troms++ (where i live) to Marbella (about 30 km away from Fuengirola) is insane to say it that way lol: http://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/compare_cities.jsp?country1=Norway&city1=Tromso&country2=Spain&city2=Marbella&displayCurrency=EUR Here is a list of my current EVE / PVP videos.

Sure i can google it, but i want real answers on my questionand not some random answers that are 5-6 years old. I have been looking through some appartments and such, but i'm not sure what good modern appartment is usually going for each months on average.
So that's why i rather want answers from peoples that are living there now that can give me more real numbers / answers. Here is a list of my current EVE / PVP videos.

Indahmawar Fazmarai wrote:[i]5. How much does a pretty good modern appartment there cost on average?Dirt cheap. 6 to 9 euros per square meter and month should get you most of the market, unless you go for something luxurious. Make sure that it haves elevator and AC, though, as some of the housing down there is quite old. Well, the prices there are quite realistic, at least the Marbella part. For the question 5 i had there, i was more thinking on renting an appartment where i pay each months for renting it. As i don't need a big appartment, i think i found this one that is only like 600-700m from the job i might get: http://www.spainhouses.net/en/fuengirola/rent/flats/flat-rent-fuengirola_d1461955.html
Any words about that appartment?
For me it seems pretty good and at the same time is pretty cheap.
As for the price differences from Troms++ to Marbella, i do think the prices for Troms++ is pretty accurate to when i look at it under NOK currency. Hmm, even the crime rate in Marbella is much lower there than it is in Troms++ according to that web page to. Oh well, i'll guess that's just positive if i move there .
Now, i have another question about Fuengirola. As it's a tourist place, is there any months where the place sees much lesser tourists than other months? Here is a list of my current EVE / PVP videos.

enjoy the 30 days per year of legally mandated paid vacation time Hehe, it's not really that hard if you just have patience.
It's pretty funny though. I saw a documentary on YouTube from where some peoples was moving to Norway from Spain to find some jobs where they can have their new future in Norway. While tons of Spanish peoples are leaving their homes in Spain to find jobs outside of Spain, we from Norway are moving down there in droves to buy all of their houses lol.

Tip: AC devices are valuable assets. They *always* can be seen in pictures when they are installed. No visible AC = 90% chance that there is no AC. Also, location... it's at the outskirts. I would rather think about paying 600 euros and be dowtown with AC. Oh, in that case, i think this appartment would be perfect for me: http://www.spainhouses.net/en/fuengirola/rent/apartments/penthouse-apartment-rent-fuengirola_d1224558.html
Anything to add when it's about that appartment?
Now, i'm just looking at different appartments to see what kind of appartments that would fit me well if i move down there, so i know what i should look after.
And lastly. I forgot to say that the job is not only gonna get one into this job, but they are actually gonna hire in 3 peoples for this job. So because of that, i'm pretty sure i will get the job. Here is a list of my current EVE / PVP videos.

Ofc, that person is under fully control and isolated, so no danger of letting the Ebola virus to be spread out so far. Here is a list of my current EVE / PVP videos.

But calling Spain for a criminal hell isn't true, because if it had been that, i would know all about it from the media.

And lastly, even this website says the crimes in Marbella is lower than Troms++ (where i lives now). Here is a list of my current EVE / PVP videos.

That is only a survey site, every scammer or owner of shop with souvenirs in Marbella, every romanian pickpocketer can go and take a survey there to flip the votes. Like me. I have shamelesly contributed to the pool to see how easy it is. But the thing is that the bad guys in Troms++ can do the same to . Here is a list of my current EVE / PVP videos.

Thanks for the posts so far .
Now, i have a question about peoples driving cars in Spain in general. I hear that someone says that peoples drives like crazy or idiots down there. Someone says that you have to be really careful to not step out on the roads if a car comes driving towards you as that can be dangerous.
Is there any truth to what they are saying?
Now to the Spanish tax rates again when it's about the income from the job you are working for. After what i have been reading here, i have understood that if i earn all from 0 to 17707 Euros each year, then i have to pay 24% tax on my income.
But as i will earn more than 17707 Euros each year in this job (yes, i can reveal that, but i wont say anything more about what i will earn each months or in a year), then i'll guess i will land under the 17707 to 33007 Euros each year rate where i have to pay 29.3% tax on my income.
Is that right? Here is a list of my current EVE / PVP videos.

Alrighty. I didn't had the luck on me this time so i didn't manage to get the job now. Well, you can guess when there was waaaay over 100 peoples who had sent in an app to that job, so by hearing that, i kinda knew i didn't had much of a chance.
However, i will get a new chance later one time as this job pops up from time to time here in Norway. So this topic isn't really made for nothing as i can use it for later one time if needed.
