European Union

EU Citizen

For EU citizens, moving to Spain is simpler thanks to free movement, but it still requires familiarizing oneself with Spanish administrative regulations.

Although a traditional visa is not required, registration as a resident is necessary if the stay exceeds 90 days. A Foreigner Identification Number (NIE) must be obtained, and registration with the local council (empadronamiento) is required to access healthcare, tax benefits, or open a bank account.

Gonzalez Sanchez & Partners advises EU citizens at every step of the process, managing the documentation, deadlines, and procedures with local councils and immigration offices to ensure a legal and stress-free settlement.

Non-EU Citizen

For non-EU citizens—including British citizens after Brexit— moving to Spain involves more complex immigration procedures under Spanish law.

You will typically need to apply for a valid visa or residence permit, such as the Golden Visa for property investors, the Digital Nomad Visa for remote workers, or the Family Reunification Visa. Each option entails strict financial, insurance, and legal requirements set by the Spanish immigration authorities.

Our lawyers handle the entire process: advising you on the best option, preparing applications, coordinating with consulates, and providing the necessary follow-up to guarantee your residency and protect your long-term rights in Spain.

  • Residence Permits
  • Visa Applications
  • Digital Nomad Visa
  • Family Reunification
  • Consulate Coordination
  • Immigration Compliance

Clients from the UK, Germany, the US and the UAE rely on us to provide fast and compliant relocation solutions.

Acquiring Residency in Spain

The process for obtaining Spanish residency is marked by several fundamental legal requirements that deserve careful consideration:

Financial Requirements

Financial Solvency

Demonstrating financial stability is essential. This includes providing proof that you have sufficient funds to support yourself and your dependents, although specific requirements vary depending on the type of residency.

Legal Requirements

Criminal Record Verification

Having no criminal record is an essential requirement, as it confirms your good reputation and guarantees the safety of the community.

Health Insurance

Healthcare Coverage

Ensuring you have comprehensive health insurance coverage from a reputable provider is essential, offering peace of mind for you and your loved ones.

Application Process

Navigating the Process

The application process can be complex, as each case presents unique challenges. Contacting the Spanish consulates or Immigration Office is a crucial step that often requires professional advice to manage successfully.
