Dear Forumers!!!
I currently live in Miami but on last May I was in Marbella and started the process in buying a House in which i hope i could live there indefinetely with residencia. I have been trying to get bits on information on stuff i have to due before my trip in August to Marbella. Trying to contact the Consulate in Miami for Information is a disaster they do not have anyone on the phone to help you you must apply for a appointment and then ask any questions i have. I need to know the following as an american i am allowed to be in Spain 90 days without Visa. I want to know if i have to apply for Residencia no lucrativa in Spain or in Miami i want to avoid coming back to the U.S. I have heard that you could get a Visa Extention for 6 months but i need to know if i could due this in Spain or have to do it here. How long does a residencia no lucrativa takes?????? I Also know that in order to open a Bank account i need a NIE does this take long? can i do it in Spain or have to do it here. I also want to purchase a car do i only need a NIE or i need a Residencia to buy a car???????? How long could i used my State of Florida License in Spain? Do i have to take a Driving test to get a Spanish license or only go to la Comisaria a exchange it for a Spanish License. I know there allot of questions but i like to be inform and in control i do not want to make return trips veru often..
Sincerely
