Which documents to prepare and when
You’ll need more than just your passport. From proof of income and health insurance to rental contracts and background checks, we’ll show you the paperwork to gather — and when to have it ready.
How to apply for your NIE and residency
Your NIE (Número de Identidad de Extranjero) is the golden ticket to living in Spain. We’ll guide you through where to apply, what to bring, and how to avoid common mistakes that cause delays.
The real costs of moving and settling in
Relocation is more than flights and removals. Get a clear breakdown of deposits, monthly living costs, utilities, transport, and hidden fees so you can budget with confidence.
Setting up banking, healthcare, and utilities
From opening a Spanish bank account to registering with the health system and setting up electricity, water, and internet — we’ll show you how to get the essentials sorted fast.
How to register with your local town hall (padrón)
Registering on the padrón is a legal must — and also unlocks local services like healthcare and schools. We’ll show you how the process works, which documents to take, and why it matters.
What to do in your first week after arriving
The first few days can feel like a blur. We’ll walk you through the key tasks to tick off — from setting up a SIM card and transport cards to exploring your neighbourhood and finding community.
