My Husband and I are looking to move to Spain via the NLV route and found the process to be quite confusing. Whilst searching for assistance, I came upon Alison and Alistair’s website. After reading a little about them and their experiences they had to deal with, I requested their 10 step Moving To Spain roadmap. I received each step over 10 days and the information contained within has been invaluable for us and has given us the confidence to proceed with our application. We also continue to receive informative newsletters from them on a regular basis which contain helpful hints on actually living in Spain. Thanks to them, we are hoping to be living and enjoying the Spanish lifestyle on a more permanent basis very soon. We would highly recommend their website to anyone who is looking to embark on this journey.

I found your roadmap Moving to Spain very helpful, well laid out and easy to navigate. I enjoyed receiving the daily emails. The highlights for me, as a retiree, hoping to move to Spain, (at least for long chunks of time) included info on: -Navigating the Spanish Visas and having the option of a consultation with a trusted partner. -The online check list to get organised and store info. -Healthcare is a big concern of ours and your information and the link to get quotes was extremely helpful. -Info on renting or buying was informative. -Another big topic that I am very interested in is advice on transferring money from the US using an online bank such as Revolut and learning why we may need a Spanish bank account. -I was happy to see Udemy as your recommendation for learning basic Spanish. Our very good friend in California is a key person in that company! I did not get too involved with the email on taxes yet but when we get further along with this, I will. -Reading about the comparison in costs between Spain and the US makes me want to speed up this process even more. Thank you very much for sending me this informative and helpful road map-
