Hello all,

I am just writing to see if anyone can help myself and my friend. We are planning on moving to Spain for 6+ months in the near future.  We are having trouble finding out information on how we do this. We would want to be doing causal work while we will be in Spain so we aren’t sure what visa we need to apply for or what the best way is to go about this. Please can someone help? :)

There is no visa which permits you to do what you suggest.

There isn't a visa that allows you to stay in Spain for 6 months. 

Here is a list of visas that apply to Spain:

https://visaguide.world/europe/spain-visa/

Choose a visa that suits your needs and apply for it from the Spanish consulate in London or Manchester. You will need to meet the income and healthcare requirements. 

If your visa application is successful you can move over to Spain but must apply for Spanish residency within the first 90 days. 

Otherwise you will need to use the 90 in 180 day visitor rules.
