my name is shyanne I want to become an expat and live abroad.  I was born in the US, and am still here.  I am 20years old and i have been looking up information about become a expat to live abroad in Spain. And cant find out in detail how to become one. My dream is to open a book store in spain, i just dont know where to start and what kind of visa to get so i figured becoming an expat may be the way to go and then figure out how to open my book store there.  Please if you have information that can help me i would really  really  appreciate  it alot.  Please let me know i hope to hear from someone that can help me soon.

Hey
Miss i think it 's not dificult to came here because since you are 20 y /old, means that u 're major. And needn 't à permission to leave US.
for the visa i think that it 's not important,because they ask it for the people hwom want to came there, not whos they want to came here. Otherway, you came as a tourist.
Good luck

Well so i think it 's your choice and i don 't know haw is it,  for me Madrid Barcelone,...etc they are à very big vities, but you need know that it 's à lile bad to live in if u deslike. Polution, cars, bad circulation,...etc. I live in asturias here every week wé recive à lot of people who cames here to relax. So as i work in à hôtel, they tell me that this area is thé best in all thé spain country. First it 's green all thé year, second à lot of beaches, third, Thérèse also many. Universities and public transport. In général all what you can. Need, but if u like à lot Sun and. Stable wind.
Sorry about my bad english. Any way i can help as posible as i can.

I would advise going on the Spanish Consulate website- I know the NYC consulate has a complete description of what kind of visas there are and you can judge what fits you , its different if you want to work, or ,study or retire= the papwer work is tedious but not impossible- good luck feel free to ask questions-Ger
