Settling into Spain, without the runaround.
Moving to Spain involves more than buying a home. There are forms to complete, appointments to attend and various organisations to deal with, all in Spanish. Many people underestimate just how much needs to be arranged.
Our Dutch-speaking relocation specialists support you locally with all these practical matters. In Dutch.
They arrange appointments with the relevant organisations and, if you wish, accompany you in person. From registering with the municipality and applying for residency to arranging health insurance, finding a GP and dentist, and enrolling your children in school if needed.
So you can begin your new life in Spain with peace of mind.
