If you fancy this route and you qualify for a UK Gov issued certificate, you can get the certificate used to support the application from here: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/apply-fo...eNbkAfr__aW6b0
In terms of seriously considering with a young family (5 total), that would be me. I am waiting for a few applications of the early movers to go through the legal factory before I step in and chance my arm without the self-employment certificate. The lawyers that are posting on the facebook groups are only just starting to work on these early mover applications.

It's all part of the shift abroad, sure many will be paid in GBP as this is ContractorUK after all but I do work and get paid in GBP, EUR and USD but its all (currently) paid into a U.K based GBP account.
I already have a property in Spain, an NIE number and a Spanish bank account.
So what's stopping me from getting the visa? Baggage! Ltd company here, BBL, car lease, property, etc. I could possibly park the Ltd and try return the car but I really don't want to do that, it's a Model Y Long Range and simply the best car I've ever had. But having said that, I was holding fire to see if the 25% CT would come in, and it has. I have probably 6 months into the new financial year, before my projected profit exceeds £ 50k and then I get clobbered for 25%. Kind of hoping there is some enlightenment and success stories find their way into this thread within that time.Leave a comment:

Your final sentence makes it sound like you think every single contractor in the UK is going to move to Spain, and that none of us have done contracts in foreign currencies before. Contractors have, for years, worked in different countries around the world. It's not a new thing. The new thing is the post-Brexit opportunity for a few who have the desire to move to Spain, where, for a few years, it didn't look like it was going to be easy.
If you are in a position to make the move and the clients/sectors you work in are happy, then it would be something to consider, but I don't think it's going to be most of the UK contractor market that follows you to Spain.Leave a comment:

That is correct. But you can still work from there and nobody will know. Only your client security team that would see you log-in with foreign ip.
Bear in mind that this is a professional forum. Persistant inappropriate posting and advocating illegal activity will get you banned.
