Young family looking to move to Spain. Need advice!
Hey,
I am 38, wife younger, and have 2 kids 8 and 11.
We are looking to move to Spain in around 12 months.
Where would be the best places for families?
Pref somewhere with a British community and good international schools.
Im not selling our London house incase the kids come back to study but want to buy something around 500k euros.
Looking for somewhere where life is a bit cheaper then city life as only I will be working (for a company in London).
Also want good weather most of the year without high winds like they have in Almeria and the Canaries at times.
Many help would be appreciated!

Below is a European site explaining Posted Workers for "temporary" missions, with links concerning Social Security, which you should discuss with your employers.

Hi, you should research how you'd be covered for health insurance, depending on what your employment status is. If you're salaried, you'd have to ask your employers to post you to Spain and pay into the Spanish Social Security, or if you're freelance, you'd have to set up a business structure and pay Contributions into the Spanish System. In the latter case, if Spain is anything like France, the Authorities won't accept a freelancer with only one client.

You are absolutely right Spain does not accept an "Autonomo" working only for one company for more than 11 months. I remember perfectly the company I worked for got "stuffed" by an Autonomo after three years. Had to pay full SS for him, fines and also to end his contract indemnization as a normal employee.

Re: Young family looking to move to Spain. Need advice!
Members in Spain will confirm that an Autonomo can only make a limited turnover, far lower than your present one. You as the boss would either have to "post" yourself and arrange with the Spanish S.S., or set up the Spanish equivalent of a Limited Company. This possibility should be considered with caution and a great deal of professional advice....
