EU Citizen
For EU citizens, moving to Spain is more straightforward thanks to freedom of movement — but it still requires navigating Spanish administrative law. Even though you don’t need a traditional visa, you must register as a resident if you stay over 90 days, obtain an NIE (Foreigner Identification Number), and complete your local empadronamiento (address registration) to access healthcare, tax benefits, or open a bank account. Gonzalez Sanchez & Partners guides EU nationals through every step, handling paperwork, deadlines, and interactions with local town halls and immigration offices to ensure you settle legally and stress-free.
Non-EU Citizen
Acquiring Residency in Spain
The journey to Spanish residency is marked by several critical legal requisites that warrant careful consideration:
Financial Solvency:
Demonstrating your financial stability is paramount. This includes showing evidence of sufficient funds to sustain yourself and any dependents, with specifics varying by residency type.
Criminal Record Verification
A clean criminal record is a non-negotiable requirement, affirming your good standing and ensuring community safety.
Healthcare Coverage:
Ensuring you have comprehensive health insurance coverage from a reputable provider is essential, offering peace of mind for you and your loved ones.
Navigating the Process:
The application process can be daunting, with each case presenting unique challenges. Engaging with Spanish consulates or the “Extranjería” is a crucial step, often requiring professional guidance to navigate successfully.
