How to emigrate without stress?

Young families, creative entrepreneurs, dreamers starting a new chapter, and retirees. We've already helped many Dutch clients relocate to Ibiza. And most of them were surprised by how much is actually involved in the process.

Because yes, moving to an island like Ibiza is quite different from relocating to mainland Spain. Think: shipping your belongings by sea, dealing with local registration rules, navigating slightly different tax regulations, and handling piles of paperwork.

But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.From the very first call to the moment your belongings arrive safely at your new home, we take care of everything. You’ll have one dedicated contact person who coordinates the entire move, door to door. Ready to start your dream move with peace of mind?

To take into account...

As you’ve probably noticed by now, preparing for a move to Ibiza is a bit different from relocating to mainland Spain. So what should you pay (extra) attention to?

Overseas relocation.Your household belongings will need to be shipped to the island, packed into a container and delivered by sea. Fortunately, we have the right partners both in the Netherlands and on Ibiza to handle this for you.
Limited housing supply and higher property prices.Ibiza is small and highly sought after. Just like in the Netherlands, housing can be scarce and expensive — especially in popular areas.
Paperwork and local bureaucracy. Apply early for your NIE number, local registration (empadronamiento), and healthcare. We strongly recommend contacting a local gestor to help you navigate these systems.
Higher cost of living.Groceries, fuel, and dining out tend to be more expensive on Ibiza than on the mainland, especially during the summer. Note: island life is not always cheaper than life in the Netherlands.
Schools & children.Ibiza has several excellent international schools. If you’re relocating with kids, be sure to register early — spots can be limited.
Nature and peace vs. party island.Ibiza has two sides: the famous party scene and a peaceful, nature-oriented lifestyle. Choose your new home location carefully. The north is quieter and more nature-focused, while the south is livelier and more vibrant.
Bringing or buying a car?. Wat doe jij? Een auto naar het eiland verschepen is duurder dan over de weg. En auto’s op Ibiza zijn vaak duurder in aanschaf dan op het vasteland. Wellicht goed om over na te denken. Laat staan dat je de auto nog moet omzetten naar een Spaans kentekenplaat
Taxes are different.Just like in mainland Spain, you’ll pay taxes, but certain regulations (such as tourist tax or inheritance tax) may differ in the Balearic Islands. We recommend consulting a reliable gestor for local advice.
