Relocation to Spain

Thinking of moving to Spain?

Relocating to Spain involves different legal and administrative requirements depending on your nationality, personal circumstances and intended length of stay. Our team coordinates the process so you can move with greater clarity and confidence.

Non-EU Citizens

Non-EU nationals, including UK citizens after Brexit, are generally subject to Spanish immigration rules when relocating for longer stays. Depending on your circumstances, available routes may include work, remote work, family-based residence or other residence authorisations.

Our legal team assists with the applicable procedure, supporting documentation, consular coordination and representation before the relevant Spanish authorities.

EU Citizens

EU, EEA and Swiss citizens benefit from freedom of movement, but residence in Spain for more than three months still requires compliance with the applicable registration rules.

Depending on your situation, this may include demonstrating employment or self-employment, sufficient resources and health coverage, or student status. Registration with the Spanish authorities also results in the assignment or confirmation of your foreigner identification number.
