    In Spain you get a paid vacation day for moving. You just show your lease contract and you get the first day of the lease off.

    But you usually have to pay first month up front and put in a security deposit. It used to also be that you had to pay a fee to the agency. The law now says that the landlord pays that fee but sometimes they will still say it o you. You can either pay or keep looking.

    So worst case you need 3x the rent to move. Best case you just put in the security deposit which you get back at the end of the contract.

        You just need residency. Which basically means you just need a job. But keep in mind that the right is on the rise here, like everywhere else, so most likely in a couple of years a lot of progress made here will also be rolled back. I think EU is still great place to be long term, just don’t focus on current situation too much when choosing where to go. Things will change.
