Emigrating to Spain

Relaxing on the Spanish Costas? Long lunches followed by recovery during siesta? That's the Spanish life! More and more Dutch and Belgian people are choosing to emigrate to Spain, for many the most pleasant country in Europe. It's no coincidence that we move people to this beautiful country on a weekly basis. Among our customers, Spain is therefore by far the most popular country. Are you going to take this step too? We'd love to take you on the journey!

Why moving to this country?

Spain is very popular as a holiday destination, but it won't surprise you that a lot of people are increasingly choosing to permanently reside in Spain. Fortunately, we've been able to contribute to helping many people realize their Spanish dream. From our customers, we often hear that the Spanish climate and way of life are the number one main reasons for emigration. An active lifestyle outdoors, combined with the climate and way of eating, ensures that Spaniards, along with the Japanese, on average become the oldest people in the world.

10 reasons why you should move to Spain

The climate in Spain isn't just beautiful. Life around the sea has a healing effect on the health of many (older) people. Additionally, there's hardly any industry nearby, resulting in minimal emissions.
People are 'done' with The Netherlands
Many opportunities for sports and an active outdoor life.
Housing costs and general living expenses are cheaper.
Excellent quality of health care.
Spaniards are hospitable, relaxed and friendly.
The Spanish way of life is more focused on the quality of life; enjoy every day! Dutch people are nowadays in a hurry and busy with “everything”.
The gastronomy is fantastic. Eating out is possible almost every day because traditional Spanish food isn't expensive.
Spaniards live with fewer rules, being late is almost normal. Appointments aren't always fixed. Many experience this as relaxed, but initially, it can lead to irritation when arranging matters with a Dutch mentality.
Spain has much more space than Belgium or the Netherlands and appears much quieter, despite the many tourists in summer, than what we're used to.

Emigrating without stress

Many issues you'll encounter during your emigration are 'hurdles' that have already been taken many times by previous emigrants. Do you need to register with the municipality? Can you buy a house before having a NIE number? Which school is best suited for my child? A local or international school? All questions you'll have to deal with over time.

Arranging matters around your emigration takes more time than moving within the Netherlands. The Spanish government has more bureaucracy and is in absolutely no hurry. So start preparing in time! Applying for a simple (building) permit often takes a long time. This can be particularly challenging when you don't speak Spanish.

We want nothing more than for you to emigrate without worries. That's why we support you throughout the entire moving process and help you on your way to your new home!

To take into account...

Don't forget to...

Apply for your NIE-nummer number. You need this for various Spanish institutions such as opening a bank account, buying property, getting a Spanish phone subscription, or visiting a hospital. Even when the package delivery person stands at your door, they will ask for your NIE number for confirmation. You can apply for your NIE number at the Spanish consulate in the Netherlands or at the National Police commissariat in Spain (CNP).
Are you moving completely to Spain? Then it's recommended to use a gestor. A gestor helps you with your administration and acts as an intermediary between you and all Spanish institutions. They can also help you with applying for an NIE number and your tax returns. Super convenient! Not just for your emigration, but also during your new Spanish life.
Learn the Spanish language as quickly as possible to integrate perfectly. The Spanish people will be grateful and are very happy to help you along.
