Hello!
My fiance and I are in our twenties and thinking about moving to El Salvador in a couple of years or so. We are going to visit this August for a couple of weeks and see how it goes.
Although I am British I was born and lived in ES till I was 9 - My dad and his family still live there and it is he who has been trying to persuade us to re-locate. Given the weather in England, we are very tempted!
However, I have a couple of questions. Having been born in ES, how easy will it be for me to gain citizenship? And for my British-born fiance?
Secondly, how easy will it be to find work? I have a degree in Forensic Science and currently work in product safety and legislation, my fiance has no degree but works as a carer. I speak near-fluent spanish, he speaks near-fluent french.
I wouldn't be able to write in spanish very well (my grammar is awful), but I reckon I'd pick it up quick enough especially with help of my dad.
Although my work is science-based, I do have an interest in starting up something in councelling, no idea how this would work in ES though.
Thirdly, what is life like there, money-wise? Are houses cheap? Cars? Bills? Food? What about flights themselves, back to Britain? I get the impression flights to Britain are more expensive there than flights to ES are from here. I could be wrong though.
Being foreigners, will we have health insurance? What other kind of insurance will we need? Having the NHS here, I've never had to pay anything major for my health, so I am not sure what things are like there.
Also, any general advise would be much appreciated!
Thank you!
