Living in Spain has great attractions such as the climate, tourist and cultural offer, quality of life and to provide you with a detailed guide, here you will find information on the cost of living, salaries, how to find a place to live in and other useful information and contacts.

Emineo Spain is located in Valencia. Various studies carried out in recent years have ranked Valencia as the most desirable city in which to live as a foreign national. 

Valencia is a medium-sized city of around 800,000 people, modern and cosmopolitan, which is not only an important business centre, especially in the world of information technology, but also offers all kinds of cultural and leisure activities.

Its climate, with mild winters and warm summers and an average of more than 300 days of sunshine a year, invites you to enjoy life outdoors.

Valencia is also known for offering a high ratio between quality of life and cost of living. In particular, housing in Valencia is very affordable compared to other cities in Spain.

At Emineo Spain we offer flexibility in working from home and promote regular contact between team members. Therefore, if you live in another part of Spain and decide to move to Valencia, we will offer you financial support to facilitate your move.

If you plan to stay in Valencia for more than 6 months, you will need to register with the padrón de habitantes (both EU citizens and non-EU foreigners). This document is particularly important for non-EU foreigners, as it is necessary to obtain a residence permit in Spain and a Foreigner’s Identification Number (NIE).

To obtain a census certificate in Valencia, you must request an appointment online at this link.

You will receive a confirmation of your appointment by email, which you should print out and bring with you on the day of your appointment, along with all the necessary documents (original and copies).

The NIE (Número de Identidad de Extranjero) is the number that identifies every foreigner living in Spain. It is equivalent to the DNI (National Identity Document) number for Spaniards.

It is a number that will be required for most procedures in the country (from opening a bank account to taking out health insurance).

The personal number is the foreigner’s identifier that must appear on all documents issued or processed, as well as on the formalities stamped on the identity card or passport. 

The following documents must be submitted in order to obtain the number 

• Standard application form (EX-15), duly completed and signed by the foreigner.
• Original and copy of the complete passport or identity card or travel document or valid certificate of registration.
• A statement of the economic, professional or social reasons justifying the application.
• If the application is made through a representative, he/she must prove that he/she has sufficient power of attorney expressly stating that he/she is authorised to submit the application.

The affiliation number must be requested from the Social Security if you want to carry out any kind of work activity. It is mandatory for people who are in the system to be able to access their social rights and fulfil their contribution obligations.

This number, once assigned to you, is lifelong, exclusive and valid for all work regimes.

How to apply for it:

1. Go to any office of the Tesorería General de la Seguridad Social.
2. Make sure you have your DNI, passport or NIE (if you are a foreigner and married to a Spanish citizen, you should also bring your family book).
3. Fill in the TA.2/S form with your personal details and those of the company you work for.
4. Bring the original and a copy of your work permit.

Foreigners who are legally resident in Spain have the same right to free health care as Spanish citizens. Those in an irregular situation can also receive care in cases of emergency, pregnancy or serious illness.

To obtain a health card in Spain, you must go to the health centre where you live and apply for registration by filling in a form that will be given to you, along with your census registration certificate and documents proving your legal status in the country. This may include your residence permit, passport and other relevant documents.

In addition, emineo Spain will offers you the opportunity to take out private health insurance.

Once you start working, you will be covered by the company’s accident insurance.

You will need to open a bank account both for your personal transactions and to receive your salary. In general, you will need to provide the following documents.

EU/EEA/Switzerland citizens: Passport or national identity card.
Non-EU/EEA/Switzerland citizens: Valid passport.
Foreigner Identification Number (NIE). Compulsory for all financial transactions in Spain.

Proof of residence:
Rental contract or title deed of the property you are living in.
Utility bill in your name (water, electricity, gas, etc.).
Proof of income or economic activity: Employment contract, recent pay slips, tax returns or other documents proving the source of your income.
Each bank may have specific requirements, so it is advisable to contact the bank of your choice directly for detailed information on the process and documents required.

Every foreigner resident in Spain is liable for tax. The amount depends on the income earned and the situation regarding age, family situation and other personal factors. The company will take your situation into account when registering you in order to apply the appropriate withholding percentage on a monthly basis. In addition, the company will provide you with a withholding certificate each year with details of your taxation so that you can file your income tax return.
