When we want to settle somewhere, we have very specific criteria. You need a quiet area, close to some amenities, a garden… everyone sets their own terms. If you want to settle in a warm country popular with Belgians, we may have a good plan for you.
Get €15,000 to travel to a beautiful country? It is possible
If you pay this amount to settle there, it is because the region needs young people to increase its population. Clearly you can pack your suitcases in Spain! Extremadura, a somewhat remote region in the southwest of the country, has actually released 2 million to attract new residents. In fact, they have only 26 people per km2. There are certain conditions to avail this offer.
The first is being young. If this sounds biased, their primary purpose is to revitalize people. In this sense, migrants in the region under the age of 30 will receive €10,600 upon their arrival. After two years, if they commit to stay an additional year, they will receive another €5,300. If you’re over 30, you’ll get €8,500 to start with, and an extra €4,200 if you stay.
To move there, you must not have lived in the area for the past 6 months and have moved to an area with a population of less than 5,000. All nationalities from around the world are welcome, however preference will be given to qualified professionals in the technical field who can demonstrate telecommunications skills. You must commit to living in Extremadura for at least two years.
According to Forbes magazine, the cost of living in Spain is significantly lower than the rest of the country.
