ABOUT MOVING TO SPAIN
Moving to Spain is a big, emotional, life-changing decision. We help you get it right, from the first question to being settled.
Moving country is exciting. It is also a lot. There are visas to work out, healthcare rules to meet, tax questions to answer, and dozens of decisions that all feel urgent at once. Most people do not realize how much there is to do, or how much it matters to do things in the right order.
That is where we come in.
We have been helping households move to Spain since 2017, taking it step by step with clear information, personal support, and specialists on the ground. Our job is to help you feel informed, confident, and supported, never rushed, confused, or sold to.
We have been where you are
In 2015, we moved to Spain for what was meant to be a one-year break from corporate life in Sydney.
We wanted to experience a country with a completely different culture and language. We fell in love with life here, and we are still in Spain today, raising our family.
We will be honest. We arrived unprepared for the bureaucracy, the paperwork, and the costly mistakes that come with it. We learned the hard way what it takes to be self-employed here, how property really works, how the school system runs, and what it takes to build a life from scratch here. That is why we built Moving to Spain: to give people the support we wish we had.
Between us, we have relocated internationally five times. Before Spain, Alison was a division director at Australia’s largest investment bank, and Alastair ran IT for the Asia manufacturing division of a global pharmaceutical company, roles where clarity, accountability, and follow-through were the whole job. That is still how we run things today: clear guidance, realistic timelines, and no shortcuts.
We love watching a client go from overwhelmed to genuinely looking forward to the move. We would love to help you do the same.

The Team Behind Your Move
You will not be handed off to a sales team or a call center. Alongside us, you have a small, close team who know your situation and stay with you through it. When your move needs specialist expertise, we bring in the right people from our network of more than 45 local specialists across Spain, and we stay accountable for their work. We do not pass you across and step back. If a specialist ever falls short, that is on us to put right.

Wherever you are in your move, we meet you there
No two moves are the same, so we built one system that works at every stage. Whether Spain is still an idea, you are actively relocating, or you already live here, you get resources, a plan, and specialists shaped around your situation.
Decide
Work out whether you qualify for a visa, what your tax position will look like, and which healthcare options fit your age and your visa. Leave with your next steps mapped out by your own relocation coach
Relocate
Turn the decision into a move. Visa, finding your home, schools, pets, removals, money transfers, and timing, with the right specialists on each piece and a relocation coach coordinating it all.
Thrive
Settle in and build your life. Community, expert pop-ins, live Q&As, and the tools and guides for the hundred small things once you have arrived.
What we promise every household we work with
Moving to Spain is never just about immigration. Healthcare affects your visa. Your visa shapes your tax. Tax decides what you can afford, and affordability decides where and how you live. When advice is given in isolation, people end up fixing problems that could have been avoided. So we look at the whole picture, and we take that responsibility seriously.
01
We stay on the hook
From your first question to the day you are settled, you have a single point of contact who knows your situation. We do not hand you a list of names and disappear. If something goes wrong, you know exactly who to call, and we will handle it.
02
Our specialists are trusted, and we stand behind them
Every immigration, tax, healthcare, and property specialist in our network has been checked and proven with real clients. If a partner ever falls short of the standard we expect, we replace them and make it right. When you work with our network, you are working with our reputation.
03
We tell you the truth, even when it is not what you hoped
If Spain is not the right move for your situation, or a particular visa route will not work, we will tell you plainly. We would rather give you an honest answer than an easy sale. That is the whole point of starting with the questions that actually decide your move.
Why we work with specialists, and how we choose them
Moving to Spain involves areas that are regulated, technical, or highly specific. No single team can, or should, claim to be an expert in everything. Our role is to get you the right expertise at the right time, so you never have to work it out alone.
Every professional in our network is chosen with care. We look past paper qualifications and focus on how people actually work with clients. Our specialists must show:
Proven experience with international clients
Clear, transparent pricing
Responsive, plain-English communication
A consistent track record of reliable, ethical service
We monitor client feedback and work closely with our specialists to keep advice accurate and consistent. If standards slip, we stop working with them. You can read more on our Partner Standards and Selection page.
The people we help
We mainly support retirees, families, as well as working professionals and couples, most often from the United States and the UK, with a steady number from Ireland and a growing group from Canada and Australia, all planning a serious, long-term move to Spain.
Our clients value peace of mind and momentum. They work with us because they want to save time, avoid misinformation, and talk directly to people who do this every day. Getting the right information early means they move forward faster and with fewer setbacks, so they can focus on building a life in Spain rather than just planning one.
One of the hardest parts of any move is working out where to live and finding a home from abroad. It is also one of the things we are asked about most. Our local specialists help you narrow down the right area for your life, then search on your behalf, deal with landlords and agents, and line up viewings, so you arrive with somewhere to live rather than a suitcase and a problem.
The numbers behind the work
One decision affects all the others
Moving to Spain is never just about immigration.
How does a decision about your visa affect taxes? Tax affects affordability. Affordability affects location. Location affects lifestyle. When advice is given in isolation, people end up stuck fixing problems that could have been avoided.
That is why we look at the whole picture, not just one piece at a time. We focus on legality, sustainability, and quality of life, even when that means slowing things down or having difficult conversations early.
Bad advice costs time, money, and momentum. We take that responsibility seriously.
Not sure where to start? Let’s work that out together.
