Relocation Service

This service is available across Spain

Who Needs This Service?

Our relocation service is designed for international professionals, retirees, families, entrepreneurs, and remote workers who are planning to move to Spain and want expert guidance through every administrative step. 

Whether you're relocating under Spain's Digital Nomad Visa, the Non-Lucrative Visa, a Golden Visa investment programme, or through employment or family reunification, you'll face a series of legal and administrative tasks that can be time-consuming and confusing without local expertise.

This service is also ideal for company executives being transferred to Spain, families seeking international schooling options, and anyone who values peace of mind knowing that their residency documentation, tax registration, and essential administrative setup are being handled correctly from the start. 

If you want to focus on settling into your new life in Spain rather than wrestling with bureaucracy, our relocation service is designed specifically for you.

Who Needs This Service?

Process: Our Approach

  1. Initial Consultation and Needs Assessment – We begin with a comprehensive discussion to understand your personal circumstances, timeline, visa status (or requirements), family composition, and specific relocation goals, allowing us to tailor our support to your exact needs.
  2. Relocation Roadmap and Timeline – Based on your situation, we create a personalized action plan outlining all necessary administrative steps, required documentation, and realistic timelines for completion.
  3. Pre-Arrival Documentation Support – If you're applying for your visa from abroad, we guide you through gathering apostilled documents, background checks, health insurance, proof of funds, and any other requirements specific to your visa category.
  4. NIE (Foreigner Identity Number) Application – We handle your application for the NIE, Spain's essential identification number for foreign residents, which you'll need for virtually every official transaction in the country.
  5. Residence Registration (Empadronamiento) – We assist with registering your address at the local town hall (padrón municipal), a crucial step for accessing healthcare, enrolling children in schools, and proving residency.
  6. Social Security Registration and Healthcare Access – We facilitate your registration with Spain's social security system and help you obtain your healthcare card, ensuring you and your family have access to Spain's public health services.
  7. Tax Number (NIF) Application – We obtain your Spanish tax identification number, essential for employment, opening bank accounts, purchasing property, and fulfilling tax obligations.
  8. Bank Account Opening Assistance – We coordinate with Spanish banks to help you open a local bank account, navigating documentation requirements and translation needs.
  9. Residence Card Collection and Renewal Guidance – For those on temporary residence permits, we accompany you to collect your Tarjeta de Identidad de Extranjero (TIE) and provide clear guidance on renewal timelines and requirements.
  10. Ongoing Administrative Support – Throughout your first months in Spain, we remain available to answer questions, troubleshoot administrative challenges, and provide referrals to trusted professionals (accountants, property agents, schools) as needed.

Benefits - Why Choose Our Service

  • Save Valuable Time and Avoid Frustration – Spanish bureaucracy is notoriously complex and time-consuming, with regional variations and frequently changing requirements. We handle the queuing, paperwork, and follow-ups, freeing you to focus on your work, family, and enjoying your new home.
  • Navigate Language Barriers with Confidence – All official procedures are conducted in Spanish, and many government offices have limited English support. Our bilingual team translates documents, accompanies you to appointments, and ensures nothing is lost in translation.
  • Get It Right the First Time – Errors in documentation or missed requirements can result in rejected applications, costly delays, and even jeopardized visa status. Our expertise ensures compliance with current regulations and complete, accurate submissions.
  • Personalized Support from English-Speaking Experts – You'll work with legal professionals who specialize in expatriate services and understand the unique challenges international clients face when relocating to Spain.
  • Connect to a Trusted Network – Beyond legal services, we provide introductions to reliable English-speaking accountants, international schools, healthcare providers, and property professionals, helping you establish your new life more quickly.
  • Peace of Mind During a Major Life Transition – Relocating internationally is stressful enough without administrative uncertainty. Our comprehensive support ensures you meet all legal obligations while minimizing stress and confusion.

Why choose Advocate Abroad?

Director
When we set-up Advocate Abroad 14 years ago, getting legal services abroad was something of a lottery.
Clients faced a variety of problems from poor levels of English to questionable moral behaviour by some practitioners.
So we set-up Advocate Abroad to ensure standards by checking lawyers’ background, language levels, and competencies...
...and now, having handled over 40,000 enquiries, via hundreds of partners in 20 countries, we think we must be doing something right!
