hi, i was wondering if someone could help me with some information on moving to spain. i’m an american citizen working as a freelance translator in japan (japanese-english), and my wife is a japanese citizen. we are trying to move to spain later this year, and were wondering what type of visa we should apply for given our situation. i’ve asked a few lawyers, and they seem to imply that the only way to get a visa would either be to start a company and invest about 80,000 euros in it, or to get a non-working visa by proving that we have about 50,000 euros apiece to show that we are financially self-sufficient. while we don’t have that kind of money on hand, we would be financially independent with my translation work from my current clients, so that shouldn’t be a problem. does anyone know if there is a way for us to get visas to reside in spain legally, and if so what the process is like to obtain them? any advice would be much appreciated.
thank you!
scott
