maraslattery: Back up a bit. Are you already married? If you are then you won't need the letter saying you're free to marry- you already would have needed to prove that. You'll have to fill out the application, show your libro de familia and wait. And yes, this technically has to be done from the US. The only way you'd be able to do it in Spain would be to hire a lawyer- which could potentially cost you more money than the trip to the US. To be sure, why don't you look up the number of the Spanish consulate in your area in the US and call them- a long distance call to find out the necessary information directly from the horses mouth is again, better than getting there and them telling you need something else that you didn't initially bring with you. I don't think your husband would have to go with you, but you'd be better off asking the consulate to make sure. It might help-especially depending on how comfortable you are with your spanish for these things.

quote: originally posted by maraslattery:
[qb] ...You do not need the medical or police clearance if you are married to a spanish citizen. that requirement only applies to people married or related to a spanish resident. Finally your family member does not need to come with you but you do need a copy of his/her empadremiento (sp?) and a notorized copy of his/her passport. [/qb]
This is interesting to me because on the site that had the links to the visa requirements, the police and medical requirements were not required to be reunited with a citizen OR a member of the European Union. However, my husband will be both a member of the European Union and a Spanish Resident, so I'm not sure where we fall. Obviously I'm hoping that I can get by without all those extra requirements. Today someone told me they thought I could because Spanish Resident probably means a foreigner living is Spain that is NOT a member of the EU. Think that's true? Thanks for all the info Maraslattery!

"the man!"

espe3, sorry for the late response on Ena looking over your CV and/or passing it around her company. Truth be known, Ena is not very into this whole board thing (although she enjoys our multimadrid get-togethers  ) and has her hands more than full at work so she will not have time to do any of that for you. She also insists that here in Spain Marketing/PR have nada to do with her field (im�gen y sonido). Since she is the Spaniard tride & true, I will have to take her word for it. So, if there is anyting I can do within my means to help you out, let me know but Ena will not be able to do much. Saludos, jer...

You are in exactly the same situation I am. I am American and my husband is British with a green card. Basically our process is similar but not identical to Maraslattery's. You will have it somewhat easier than a non-EU person does. Your husband will need to be here to establish his residency at a police station (a fairly painless process described by my husband Roland above, I believe). Then you will take his residency card, notarized copy of his passport, and some other documents (see Maraslattery's link to the visa requirements above) back to the States to the embassy nearest your home town to get your Schengen Visa which will (I assume) allow you to work and live in Spain. I'm waiting on Roland's residency now. Once I get it I will return to the states and try for my visa...I'll let you know how it goes! Big caveat: since you work for a UK/US conglomerate, they very well may take care of all of this for you! We're just leeches here hoping to find work somewhere.

- rent or buy a cell phone from me for your stay in spain, more info at 
- already have a cell phone, get a spanish SIM card for it at 
If I need you, I'll give you a holler. I have a family friend who put his HR man in his company in charge of anything I need, so I'll have him review my CV and I have some friends looking at it also
