so we know we're back because igno is
0:02
here from P already abogados and we've
0:05
talked about some of the new bits for
0:07
2024 um I when I was promoting it
0:10
earlier on before you came in I said um
0:12
it's always good value and I like asking
0:14
you about the court cases you like tell
0:16
the judge off tell him what he's doing
0:18
wrong well don't mess about they can't
0:21
yeah well last Monday I had one and this
0:24
this time was uh about damages in a
0:27
property in a condominium in in a
0:29
building
0:30
and um this lady on the 7th uh left the
0:34
water open the tab open or the shower
0:38
and start going the water into the sixth
0:40
floor fifth floor so the guy um who's uh
0:45
looking after maintenance of of the
0:47
building just to tell the guy that um he
0:51
had water but it was rivers of water
0:54
well here we go you know how these
0:56
things work some some flat will have
0:58
insurance some flat don't have insurance
1:00
and and then the the lady had their her
1:04
own insurance but you know how the
1:06
insurance are sometimes they're Square
1:08
they're robots and squares sure so he
1:11
took this client uh an average of they
1:14
wouldn't repair it because they wouldn't
1:15
send somebody to repair it but you had
1:17
the
1:18
damage um and um and and they wouldn't
1:22
pay because they argue with your
1:24
invoices I mean I spend
1:27
,500 but uh they wouldn't pay they
1:30
wouldn't pay because they think that's
1:32
not the right price right because you
1:34
know Insurance yeah I think when you're
1:36
working for an insurance claim you know
1:38
they depreciate they say well well you
1:41
know and that was the case about in
1:43
court and we I had to bring the
1:45
carpenter the painter because they they
1:48
will appeal these invoices they will say
1:51
basically that price is not correct well
1:53
the price is what it is I mean I mean
1:55
you just hire people to repair your
1:57
property because they are not repairing
1:59
the property
2:00
yeah sure and sometimes you think about
2:02
all these things and say what a waste of
2:04
a lot of time and stressful people you
2:06
know cuz the stress you never get paid
2:09
for it is very hard then you have um you
2:13
need to find your own people to do it
2:15
and it's never perfect because it's
2:17
never the same way it
2:18
was the lady will rely on the insurance
2:21
say no that's my insurance well least
2:22
she had Insurance could have been a
2:24
whole mess otherwise well the otherwise
2:25
I would have had to sue her anyway but
2:28
she would have had the
2:30
representation and if she didn't have
2:32
money obviously it's pretty much like
2:34
swing somebody with no money it's it's
2:36
waste of time as well yeah yeah where's
2:38
it going to come from sure and I'm
2:39
waiting for that um that sentence and
2:43
another one that you would love um is
2:45
about immigration I had I don't know if
2:48
I told you last time I went to Mia that
2:51
was before that was 2023 December right
2:54
and um it was a great a great um debate
2:59
J
3:00
uh as the lawyer of the state about the
3:03
brexit thing you remember the ti pre-
3:05
brexit but there's still people still
3:08
people mury without that
3:11
TI um still we're still fighting through
3:13
the courts and this judge in Mia he's
3:16
not that used to so many expert he start
3:18
asking me about about the situation but
3:21
they are so stubborn these
3:23
Administration you know so stubborn I
3:25
could be telling you stories all day um
3:28
that uh they would not accept the
3:30
insurance if it was not on the date of
3:35
pre brexit which the law doesn't say
3:37
anything about it but they carry on and
3:39
going and going and going and now
3:42
they're still appealing the decision we
3:43
won we got it we got it one week ago we
3:47
got it but now they decid to appeal it
3:49
and I said these people they get me
3:51
upset you know my blood pressure goes up
3:53
well sure yeah I mean that that makes no
3:55
sense because if you are trying to get
3:57
everything correct for your ti
3:59
application it shouldn't matter if the
4:00
insurance was in place before as long as
4:02
it is now and it's ready to go so now
4:04
they decide to appeal I had the
4:06
interview with the client yesterday just
4:08
saying I'm I'm sorry but but this is
4:10
what has happened I mean now we need to
4:12
deal with with an appeal probably we
4:14
need to go back and but the good part of
4:17
it I'm going to ask for a preliminary
4:18
measure so that we'll have a temporary
4:20
Tia that's right based on the grounds
4:23
that they already got a good sentence in
4:24
their favor sure I'm going that um today
4:28
for it so that that was another one and
4:30
that was the I think that was the second
4:32
sentence in Mia about brexit really that
4:35
was the sun uh last I read no one had
4:38
being kicked out of Spain for
4:39
overstaying not not having their
4:41
document station no they're not being
4:43
aggressive on that I mean the only thing
4:45
I should tell people is that if you are
4:47
more than three months out of the six
4:50
obviously that is going to affect you um
4:52
dealing with the administration for
4:54
example if you're dealing dealing with
4:56
uh I don't know golden Visa or
4:59
non-lucrative Vis that you cannot apply
5:01
if you are illegal or if you're
5:03
irregular right so you need to be
5:05
careful um the consequences of that I
5:08
haven't seen being deported because of
5:10
that not yet no um there's been some
5:13
around the EU but not in Spain itself no
5:16
they're not being aggressive on that but
5:18
you know I
5:20
think um the non-european had enough
5:23
already of dealing with visas and and
5:25
they are probably not being that pushy
5:27
because the Visa is high enough anyway
5:30
so well these is are something you've
5:32
covered quite a bit with the webinars
5:33
previous webinars on the website which
5:36
stream live and as I say you can tell
5:38
we're back back in action for 2024
5:40
because you have one later later today
5:42
yeah we have the one for relocation I
5:44
thought it was a good one to start the
5:45
year that's a broad subject yeah so that
5:47
involves everything including visas of
5:49
course yeah yeah but the beauty of it
5:50
Moody is people getting to the chat live
5:53
chat and they send you their questions
5:55
MH and you know and I think it's great
5:57
when we are three lawyers is Pedro
5:59
Michael myself and sometime I bring
6:01
somebody from the office as well just to
6:03
be faster answering all the questions
6:06
and um and I think it's good because
6:09
you've got an opportunity to have uh one
6:12
hour of our time to just discuss all of
6:15
us loud on on on the situation and
6:19
recommendation and I think it's good and
6:21
he will be recorded anyway yes so you
6:23
can watch these back there may be
6:24
previous ones covering something that
6:26
you need to know but that is 6:30 Madrid
6:28
time so you're I see what you're doing
6:29
you're catching the the New York Folk
6:32
make it a suitable time for people in
6:33
the states as well 12:30 it's very hard
6:35
to to please everybody because with
6:37
different time scales and different you
6:39
know but anyway that makes sense yeah
6:42
because um you know it's a big big
6:43
market now North Americans yeah a lot of
6:47
them are coming over and all of them
6:48
need the Visa as well and the tax and so
6:52
there's are wide um advice to give
6:56
before they even make a move okay so
6:58
this um if you want to ask questions you
7:00
will need to register in advance correct
7:02
um and you can do that easily enough on
7:03
the website so easiest way is alakan
7:06
lawyers. if you go to the live TV bit
7:08
where there's the Red Dot webinar sign
7:10
up do that for late still time obviously
7:12
now to do it for later on this afternoon
7:14
6:30 Madrid time that's 5:30 UK and the
7:17
canaries and yeah get involved if you're
7:19
thinking about it about moving over as
7:21
you always say as much as you can do in
7:23
advance and get in place before you come
7:25
here he never is it the better I'll tell
7:29
you what that's that's yeah on the
7:30
webinar on the website alakan lawyers.
7:32
take a quick tune and talk some more in
7:33
just a moment here with ignio from pay
7:35
radi this is Bay
7:37
radio you're listening to Bay radio it's
7:41
been around for a couple of years you
7:42
know how the rest of this goes just
7:44
jumping in here because we have ignio in
7:45
from Pia and we're about to run out of
7:48
time as well dougy Mack here in about
7:49
five six minutes time here well we've
7:51
covered plenty including talking about
7:52
the webinar later which will um take in
7:55
I guess all sorts of visas um how's the
7:57
Nomad Visa going you managed to putting
7:59
more getting any more out there yeah
8:01
they're working fine finally and uh but
8:05
I I think they put more people in Madrid
8:07
um yeah yeah yeah for these um for these
8:10
speciality NORAD and uh golden yeah with
8:14
the NAD Visa there was there were lots
8:15
of categories where they were looking
8:17
for especially if it's research and you
8:20
know teaching whatever self-employed
8:23
yeah uh or just working for a you
8:26
another company or working for a company
8:28
here so there is a lot of
8:31
varieties whether there is an agreement
8:33
between the home country with Spain I
8:35
mean UK has it um United States has it
8:39
but some countries do not have it so you
8:41
need to register yourself as
8:42
self-employed and pay social security
8:44
here even though you work for the
8:46
companies outside you're allowed to work
8:49
for 80% outside and 20% here that's
8:52
right um is is is going fine is working
8:55
good um now he progressing they're very
8:58
strict I should say yes I mean when it's
9:01
when it was touted at be at the
9:03
beginning I was picturing you know with
9:05
his skateboard working on his laptop on
9:07
the beach doing just little bits and
9:08
Bobs but um you need to be earning a
9:11
certain amount as well definitely to
9:13
qualify for it yeah it's a mixture with
9:14
the golden Visa I mean you still need to
9:16
have uh
9:17
27,000 in the bank one year or 342 years
9:21
so you still is like the non-lucrative
9:23
Visa you still need to have that kind of
9:25
money then uh the noral Visa um
9:29
it could be applied for non-europeans
9:32
obviously um and then you have the tax
9:35
side and the Social Security side so it
9:37
hits three three different subjects uh
9:40
law Fields one immigration one the tax
9:43
one Social Security sure so is is the
9:46
most complex or one of the most complex
9:48
the work visa is very complex as well
9:50
the work me ideally you'd have a
9:51
contract from a company you're working
9:53
for outside of Spain that makes things a
9:55
lot you you have to and the company
9:57
needs to be established needs to be
9:59
running more than one year your
10:00
relationship needs to be more than three
10:02
months um they need to allow you to work
10:05
remotely so that's they need to
10:08
authorize you Social Security if they
10:11
pay in the home country or you pay
10:13
here and um there are a lot of things
10:16
you know and uh it takes time A lot of
10:19
preparation Moody a lot of papers a lot
10:22
of legalization
10:23
translations and submission and then
10:27
sometimes they get back to you and say
10:28
well clarify this subject or clarify
10:30
that of course yeah yeah um so as I
10:34
always said doing ahead plan ahead if
10:37
you're coming over here try to have it
10:39
already because problems come by itself
10:42
don't they all that paperwork that just
10:44
sends a shiver through me all that you
10:46
get bogged down and yeah but we're used
10:48
to these things you yeah sure and um
10:49
anyone that they've SE totally worth it
10:52
we sticking with it if you can Mak it
10:53
out to Spain then great good for you and
10:57
um yeah and then you could renew it as
11:00
well as much as the contract last so
11:03
that's very good even though the tax is
11:04
going to only last six years the the
11:08
flat Fe 24% up to uh 600,000 income and
11:14
then from there is
11:16
47% but that's going to last only up to
11:18
six years oh okay right after that they
11:21
will be like normal residents like
11:23
everybody else oh that's a new thing I
11:25
didn't know that yeah yeah every day let
11:28
yeah yeah right and that six years will
11:30
fly by very quickly as well but don't
11:33
put you off um you know thinking about
11:35
making the move out here yeah talk to
11:37
yourselves or watch this because that
11:38
will be covered as I say in the webinar
11:39
later about relocation to Spain along
11:41
with all the other visas and the
11:42
children everything else you need yeah
11:44
you're bringing family premium family
11:45
relocation with a noral Visa you could
11:47
bring the children as well I think if
11:50
you could work remotely I think he
11:51
beautiful I mean I think that's
11:53
excellent because having the opportunity
11:55
for you to jump into a different country
11:57
steel carry on work working earning a
12:00
good money if you're earning in your
12:01
home country you know I think it's
12:04
excellent I mean for those who've got
12:06
the opportunity you know not everybody
12:08
um has that but uh because some people
12:11
some specific jobs you need to be
12:13
physically in of course in the place
12:15
yeah yeah but I think it's beautiful if
12:17
you could have that and and bring your
12:19
children and have an experience and you
12:21
could carry on if you like you could go
12:23
back so a lot of people are trying to do
12:25
a lot of European are trying to do that
12:27
as well even though they don't need the
12:30
Visa but they need the law the Beckham
12:32
law which is this law is the Beckham law
12:34
being modified in the old days you will
12:38
only um it was a different way but now
12:41
they allow you to do 80% 20 this is for
12:44
European Union citizens EU yes yes the
12:47
the the Beckham law is is for any
12:51
nationality okay the NOA Visa is only
12:53
for non- Europeans oh okay so so when I
12:57
I always forget what the difference is
12:59
yeah sure when when I when Moody when I
13:01
we talk about the Norma Visa we try to
13:03
think that is a package only for Norma
13:04
Visa you know but is a mixture of things
13:07
is the taxation which it goes for
13:11
everybody so everybody who's been
13:12
outside Spain more than five years could
13:14
apply for this m will not apply for the
13:17
Visa cuz you don't need to no but uh a
13:20
lot of people uh working uh in France in
13:25
the Netherlands you know they will be
13:27
happy to work remotely
13:29
get pay what they get paid over there
13:32
pay less and leave here in the Sun and
13:34
they do and they tell me and they bring
13:35
their children's yeah so so there's
13:38
there's a bit involved in applying for
13:39
it but as I say totally worth it in the
13:41
end all right so that's as I say if you
13:43
want to ask any questions the webinar is
13:45
later on so 6:30 Mainland Spain 5:30

canaries and UK 12:30 New York time okay
