Venezuelan woman residing in Spain, candid about immigration: "Not the idyllic portrayal promoted"

In a series of informative videos on her TikTok and Instagram accounts, Adrianis Lugo, known as @adrianislu, provides valuable insights for immigrants planning to move to Spain, particularly for those from Venezuela. With over 400,000 Venezuelan citizens now residing in Spain, an increase of about ten times in the last decade, it's clear that many are seeking a new life in the country.

Lugo emphasizes the importance of being well-informed about the realities of immigration processes, cost of living, integration, and paperwork. She advises immigrants to have clear reasons for their visit and the minimum supporting documents to avoid common myths and unnecessary worries when passing migration controls in Spain[1].

One of the key aspects of her advice is understanding the migration process and paperwork. Knowing the requirements and paperwork, such as the SES (Sistema de Empadronamiento Social) and options for regularization, helps immigrants manage their stay legally and successfully[3]. Staying updated on immigration reforms and official procedures is crucial to navigate changes confidently[1][2].

Integration in Spain can be a smoother process than some might think, but it depends on factors such as city and personal efforts. Lugo dispels the myths about integration being difficult or excessively costly, suggesting that integration depends on being informed and proactive with language, culture, and legal requirements, rather than exaggerated fears or misconceptions[4]. Participating in local activities and socializing is essential for integration in Spain.

The cost of living in Spain varies greatly by region and lifestyle. While cities like Madrid and Barcelona have a high cost of living, particularly in rent, other cities or towns like Seville, Alicante, or Valencia offer a more affordable living experience[5]. The minimum wage in Spain is around 1,134 euros a month.

Adapting to Spain requires effort, facing bureaucracy, and seeking job opportunities, which are not always abundant. In big cities, life can be more individualistic, and there's a bit of wariness towards immigration. However, with thorough research and choosing the right city for your profile, a positive experience and good quality of life in Spain are within reach.

In a recent video, Lugo discusses the myths and realities of moving to Spain, offering practical guidance on navigating the complex process and making a successful transition to life in Spain[6]. With her advice, immigrants can approach the move with confidence and a clear understanding of what to expect.
