SPAINLAWYER — International Lawyers in Spain
Relocation

Relocation to Spain

We build the plan before you move and execute it once you commit. Clients who reverse that order usually pay twice.

Who this is for

  • Professionals with a firm move date
  • Families relocating together
  • Founders relocating with a business

Decision points

Where to live, when to arrive and when to become tax resident all interact. We surface the trade-offs.

Documents from abroad

Criminal records, civil status certificates and apostilles are requested in parallel, not sequentially.

Arrival checklist

Registrations, health, banking prerequisites and card appointments are scheduled in advance.

Frequently asked questions

Should I buy or rent first?
In most cases renting first is the lower-risk option, and it does not prejudice a later purchase. We advise on the lease terms either way.
Can you work with our employer's mobility team?
Yes. We regularly act alongside internal mobility functions and external relocation providers.
