Not sure of my visa requirements for Spain
Not sure of my visa requirements for Spain?
I am a US Resident and Mexican Citizen. I work in IT and can basically work from anywhere in the world as long as I have my laptop and an Internet connection. I currently have a two year contract (the company is not Spanish and they do not have a Spanish office) so I am thinking about moving to Barcelona for a while. Does anyone have any idea of the sort of visa I would require (since I already have a job) or how hard it would be to get a visa for someone in my situation? From what I understand, I have a little bit of advantage over some foreigners (being Mexican) if I ever wanted to become a Spanish citizen but I don't know if there are any pluses if I just want to get Resident status. Thanks for any help! Thanks to everyone that answered. To clarify about the advantages I would have as a Mexican if I wanted to apply for citizenship after being a resident: From what I have read, Mexicans and citizens of other Latin American countries can get Spanish citizenship after two years of being a resident of Spain. Plus, I would not have to renounce my Mexican citizenship.

Answer 1 :
In your "special" case you would need to apply for a Residence Visa for Non-Lucrative Purposes; see the requirements on the attached weblink. http://www.consulate-spain-chicago.com/ ..
Answer 2 :
That consulate link is probably your best contact. I don't know what sort of advantage you think you have over other foreigners...unless your parentage is close enough to get you expedited citizenship. I think it's one grandparent was a Spanish citizen by birth, or something like that...the consulate can clear that up, too. The advantage to being a citizen is that you would be able to work for a company there, or anyplace else in the EU, under current laws. But that might mean giving up your Mexican citizenship, which you would want to weigh the pluses and minuses.
Answer 3 :
keep in mind the latinamericans are not welcomed anymore in spain, whether you are educated or not, if u don't look like luis miguel, be careful. the mexican citizens must have a invitation letter, but u as an u.s. resident, may not need that requirement, however, don't forget the fact that u, as an U.S. resident, must live and dwell within the USA to keep your status, if u get caught ...forget about ur U.S. residence status. bye.
Answer 4 :
First of all, you can't just work from anywhere. Parts of Spain broadband is very slow. Mine occasionally stops with bad weather or whatever. Very frustrating if you are trying to work on it. It's easy to find out about visas, check the Spanish embassy website through Google, or phone them up and ask. You have no advantage over someone coming from another EU state as they have a right to come here. The only advantage being Mexican is you will be able to converse in Spanish

Lost friend in Barcelona,Spain
Lost friend in Barcelona,Spain.?
I have an online friend who suddenly went offline in a middle of conversation (I'm sure it's accidental,like something was wrong with the laptop) and he never came online for a week since. I'm pretty sure he's not avoiding me 'cos we're really good friends. I live in an Asian country. The only info I have about him is his full name, and his MSN e-mail. He's residing in Barcelona and his hometown is in Cordoba. I regret that we did not exchange phone numbers. Any ideas how can I find him? He doesn't have Facebook or any of those accounts but I did find traces of him in several Spanish websites but he didn't seem to be online since that day. Any ideas how can I find his cellphone number? Help and thank you! I'm pretty worried if something bad has happened to him.
