I must say I have found this forum very helpful , im looking at the most economical way to furnish my new apartment in jerez ? Ideally I would use a company or person who has a vehicle of Mercedes’  sprinter size to drive from london to jerez with furniture purchased and accumulated in the uk , Im wondering if this is cost effective as appose  to buying all new furniture in jerez against all costs  involved in having someone bring furniture from the uk , any advice and or recommendations greatly appreciated thank y

Hello, all.  I am a retired US citizen seeking to obtain temporary residency in Jarez de la Frontera, Spain, through the Nonlucrative Visa.  I studied the requirements, so have a pretty good understnding of what is needed.  I do meet the financial criteria.  Because of my location, I have to apply at the Spanish Embassy in Chicago. It requires a 3 month apartment lease or someone agreeing to host me and signing a document. I have owned my own home for decades and recently sold it. Now, I live with my daughter. Thus, I have no landlord to give a reference. I really don't want to make a special trip to Spain to look for an apartment. It seems unlikely that anyone would offer me a lease when I may not get the Visa.

I have received my passport.  I got my FBI   check, had it translated by a sworn translator, and apostilled.  It was dated Dec. 12th. I don't know if it is possible to get everything done before it expires. If I get another FBI background check, they say it takes 8 weeks to get it apostilled. 

Can someone on the forum advise me?

My brother lives in Jerez and is well looked after by his partner, however over time the stress has affected their relationship and I think a week or a couple of weeks in a resi home for my brother would do them both a lot of good.

My brother is suffering from cancer and has had a stroke. He does get up but need help with showering, dressing, and going to the toilet. He does sit up in a chair during the day. 

Are there any homes near Jerez that could accommodate him, it has to be near Jerez as he has a fair number of hospital appointments, so he needs to be close to the hospital. 

I’m in the process of buying a new apartment in jerez , it will not be finished until September , I d like to hit the ground running and am looking for a good local company to manage the rentals for me , like meet and greet and clean and be there for guests , i would appreciate any recommendations thank you 

Hi, 

I have been coming to Vejer for 10 years now but car hire from the airport has become too expensive for me. Two weeks with Avis in October is £500.

Can anyone suggest /help me ? Can I get from Gibraltar to Vejer on Public Transport and then once in Vejer hire a moped in order to get to the beaches ? Your suggestions would be most welcome.

Thank you.

Helen.

Hi,

Banco Sabadell have sent me an email advising that I must renew my NIE with police station.  Is this a genuine email? If I don’t renew the NIE, what are the implications? 

Many thanks
