Amortisation

Amortisation period

The duration of the loan. The contract establishes the date of the first and last payments. The longer the period, the lower the payments are, but the higher the interest. You therefore pay more in the end. The monthly instalment should not exceed 35% of your net income.

API

Arbitri municipal de plusvàlua

Assessment

L’acollida i acompanyament és un procés a través del qual les persones immigrades adquireixen progressivament els recursos socials necessaris per desenvolupar-se de manera autònoma i en igualtat d’oportunitats a la societat receptora, en tots els territoris de la ciutat.

Els temes que es tracten són, entre altres:

Presentació de la ciutat de Barcelona, estructura territorial i administrativa.

Coneixement dels recursos i serveis essencials: salut, educació, serveis socials, etcètera.

Tràmits bàsics d’estrangeria: arrelament, renovacions, nacionalitat, etcètera.

Homologacions d’estudis.

Drets i deures.

Llengües, costums i normes de convivència.

Associacionisme, cultura, lleure.

Es dona un certificat d’assistència al final de cada sessió que és d’utilitat en alguns processos d’estrangeria.
