RE: Opening A Spanish Bank Account Is Harder Than It Sounds!

Haha, so you understand the bureaucrazy all too well! Don't get me wrong, we're very happy to be here, and not in Hungary anymore. And we kind of expected struggles as it's the same thing every time. BUT I was not mentally prepared for this level of stress around a freaking bank account, lol. At least that part is checked off the list.

The registration for autonomo was fixed in one day, I just heard it this morning. So that part, check. Great, something went smooth!

Now the next one is getting the right NIE at immigration because only I have the right one, (green card) and boyfriend has the white paper which apparently is not valid anymore. Of course, we expected this, but every time I asked the answer was "it's fine". Sigh. Anyway, at least the lady from that office comes along to assist and that will make this one immigration visit a lot smoother than the ones we had several years ago without any help!
(trying to look on the bright side haha)

I hope the rest of the residence application goes smooth, but I'm kind of assuming it won't lol. I appreciate the offer for help, if I have questions, I'm sure to ask now that you offered. Thank you both so much <3 It can be a true struggle with outdated information and not speaking Spanish fluently yet. BUT at least this is also already an upgrade compared to Hungarian because we understand much more and people are quite patient when we use Google translate if we are unsure. The total experience is already better than where we spent the 4,5 years before going back to Spain. This too shall pass.
