Best for Expatriates in Spain
As an expat, your circumstances are likely to change more often than if you
were in your home country. Clear financial advice and planning means that
expatriate life is without worry and that your future is taken care of.
Financial planning requirements vary from country to country and expatriates
living in Spain may need to allocate their investments in a different way. These
are the elements that make expatriate financial planning different.



                                                                      LOGO
Currency
 One of the first financial steps when relocating abroad may involve
  exchanging currency to that of the new country. It is important to search
  around for the best deal at both banks and specialist currency dealers.
 If an income is received from another country in another currency, it will
  need to be exchanged into the currency of new country. The impact of a
  regular currency conversion can leave a person exposed. Currencies move
  quickly and often; it may be necessary to “forward book” some of the
  currency exchanging to fix the rate of exchange.
 When it comes to arranging savings and investments, different currencies
  also need to be taken into consideration. In principle, if the investments are
  generating income used to live on, they should be in the same currency as
  the expenditure.

                                                                      LOGO
Emergency Cash Fund
 Regardless of the country of residence, an amount of cash should be
  instantly available for emergencies. In the case of expatriates, this fund
  needs to be higher because inevitably additional trips back home are
  required (for example, trips to see ailing and infirm relatives). The amount
  required depends on individual circumstances and a financial adviser takes
  this into account when financial planning.




                                                                     LOGO
Bank Accounts
 Expatriates need a bank account in more than one country; a local bank
  account is required in the local currency. It is also often necessary to retain
  a bank account for residual issues in the home country.




                                                                       LOGO
Choosing a bank
 Some banks are available in Spain and other countries (for example
  Santander and HSBC) which could make it the preferred choice; a bank
  might be chosen because it has a conveniently located branch and cash-
  machine. Banking regulation differs between countries which require extra
  vigilance (the Spanish Cajas and the German Landesbanks may be examples
  of this in the future).




                                                                  LOGO
Tax Planning
 With double taxation agreements between, for example, the UK and Spain, it
  must be determined in which country tax is paid. This involves definitions of
  “residence” and “domicile”. In a home country these are likely to be the
  same but after relocating, they may be different. Inheritance tax is different
  and it is easy to be caught in two tax regimes.




                                                                      LOGO
Retirement Planning
 A recent survey found that the highest concern for expatriates is to ensure
  that they have enough funds for retirement. If retiring in a new country
  there are many factors to take into account such as what to do with a
  pension from another.




                                                                    LOGO
Health Care
 Many British expatriates state that the health care in Spain is as good as the
  UK. However, despite this many of them return to the UK in later years due
  to health problems. It is worthwhile to look into the Spanish state health
  care; additional health care cover may be required.




                                                                      LOGO
International
                 Schooling
 If children are involved in a family move to a new country, schooling is a
  concern. Many countries have a requirement to pay towards education
  costs. School fees might be required to educate children at an international
  school. There is also the option of boarding school (this is an expensive
  option).




                                                                     LOGO
