Re: Bankrupt the country so you can sell it to Rishi's father in law
I was looking at the process for applying for a visa to work in Spain. Application cost is over 500 euro with estimated 8 month processing time. You can't apply while in the country. This also doesn't grant you the right to work in any other EU country. The visa is valid for a year.
So I would say this is more expensive and time consuming than being able to work in ANY EU country with zero cost or wait.
