'Migration influencers' charge €2,500 to promise Spain as an easy paradise

The 'digital advisors' selling Spain as "the easiest country to emigrate to" are generating a pull effect while charging up to €2,500 for their services. The promise of opportunity clashes with a labour market that many describe as precarious and deteriorating.

The business of the promise

Social media profiles advertise themselves as migration experts, offering guides, mentoring and support for settling in Spain. Their pitch: a country of sunshine, low crime and easy access to jobs and housing. They charge fees ranging from €500 to €2,500, and their videos rack up thousands of views. The critical point: many of these "advisers" have no accreditation or real experience, and their only business is selling illusions.

The reality of the labour market

Against the optimistic narrative, the state of employment in Spain contradicts the promises. Temporary contracts, low wages and the difficulty of finding skilled work are everyday realities. Those who know the ground from the inside point out that the migration influencer bubble is yet another reflection of the gap between external perception and everyday reality. Some even speak of an imminent implosion, in which economic conditions will force many to reconsider their future in the country.

The question hanging in the air is whether these 'migration influencers' are a pyramid scheme or simply the symptom of a system that desperately needs to attract talent, even with empty promises.
