I have moved form the UK to Spain, and my husband and I have started up our own business, it ca be pretty tough going at times, you work harder, longer hours for less money, and stress levels at the moments are through the roof.

I dont want to put you off, its one of those things in life that if you really want to do then you should give it a good go, 12 months at least, and most importantly be prepared to learn a new language and to integrate with the locals, it really does make all the difference in the quality of life.

All in all it is pretty easy to get up and go, just make sure you get some good advice before you go about becoming a resident, here if you work or live here for more than 3 months then you must become a resident and have a social security number so you can pay taxes on property you may buy or any income you may obtain while in that country.

Every EU country works differently.

Let us know how you get on and good luck.
