Emigration to Mallorca: sun, freedom and no GEZ fees!

Emigration to Mallorca: sun, freedom and no GEZ fees!

The sunny island of Mallorca has a continuous stream of German tourists, which mainly head for the Ballermann and the celebrations at the Playa de Palma. In addition to the well -known parties, the island attracts more and more people who choose to live there permanently. The emigration to Mallorca is examined by both research reports and personal experiences. Doris Kirch, an emigrant and expert for Mallorca, emphasizes the advantages of life on the island.

"Mallorca not only offers the sun and sea, but also a pleasant way of life," explains Kirch, who has lived on the island since 2002. This way of life, coupled with the low language barrier - many people also speak German on the island - makes Germans easier to switch to a new life. However, despite the apparent advantages, there are some challenges with which potential emigrants are faced.

challenges when emigrating

to emigrate the decision is not always easy. According to the island radio studies, many people want to emigrate to Mallorca, but often fail to implement their plans. Important prerequisites for a successful move are, for example, a safe job on the island and sufficient financial reserves to bridge the first few months that can often be expensive. Language skills should also not be underestimated, which is why a language course in Germany is urgently advised for many.

Key points of planning also include bureaucratic aspects. Before you move to Mallorca, contracts should be terminated in Germany and the residence should be deregistered. This means that no health insurance contributions are no longer paid in Germany. The application for the NI-number, a tax number necessary for the opening of bank accounts and the conclusion of purchase contracts can be done in both Germany and Mallorca.

financial considerations and living costs

Another central topic is the cost of living in Mallorca. According to Doris Kirch, people with a net income of less than 1,800 euros can have difficulties to make ends meet. If you want to live in Palma, you have to expect rental prices of around 550 euros for a shared apartment and from 800 euros for a one-room apartment. Occupational opportunities are particularly available in tourism, gastronomy and craft, which enables many newcomers to access an income.

Another advantage that emigrants appreciate is the relief from the radio contributions in Germany, which currently cost 18.94 euros per month. However, this exemption only applies to recipients of social benefits. In Spain, public service broadcasting is financed through taxes, which relieves emigrants in this regard.

preparation is the key

Preparation for life in Mallorca requires careful planning. The decision to emigrate to Mallorca should be well thought out. Furnished apartments are recommended for newcomers, while moving companies offer the services to ensure a smooth move. One of the important administrative steps is to re-register the car within 90 days of arrival, including the necessary documents such as vehicle documents and EC agreement.

summarized, the explanations of Doris Kirch and the experts from Inselradio show that emigrating to Mallorca offers many opportunities, but also requires numerous preparatory measures. With a clear plan and a solid basic equipment, nothing stands in the way of a new phase of life on the popular Mediterranean island. Anyone who is ready to face the challenges can settle in paradise and enjoy the Spanish way of life.
