20k a year is not a shitload of money. Of course no one is just going to give a job, apartment and Spanish wife just for coming in here but the system is not just of the wealthy. Normal people use it all the time.
Right, I’m just saying it’s not as easy as you think it is.
I know how easy or hard it is because I moved to Spain and I know a lot of people who did the same. It's not as easy as going on holidays but it's also not something only the rich can do.
From where?
I know people who moved from America and Asia and they had to prove that they had at least 15,000 euro in the bank as students. I also know that for the non lucrative visa that could be twice as much. These requirements are dropped if employed by a Spanish company, but honestly that’s quite rare.
