Checklist: Moving to Spain

Check	Solution
Residence & registration on arrival	EU citizens must register with the local foreigners’ authority or town hall within 3 months and also apply for a certificate of residence. They will then receive official documents for banks and public authorities.
Check your visa or residence permit	Non-EU citizens need a visa before entering the country, and must then register with the foreigners’ authority and apply for a residence permit. All required documents must also be submitted.
Arrange health & social insurance	Registration with the Spanish social security system is required to ensure access to the public healthcare system. Additional private insurance can also be worthwhile.
Clarify taxes & main residence	Anyone living in Spain is liable to pay tax. Registration takes place at the tax office, and a Spanish tax number is also required. All tax obligations should additionally be clarified in good time.
Handle the change of residence / re-registration	Your new address must be reported to banks, employers, insurers, utility providers and the municipality so that all authorities and institutions are correctly informed. It is also advisable to update private contracts.
Check the import of your belongings from abroad	When moving from non-EU countries, customs formalities must be observed, whereas within the EU the import of personal belongings is generally duty-free. You should also consider transport insurance.
Organise utility connections & accommodation	Electricity, water, gas and internet must be registered with local providers, as rental contracts often do not include utility costs. It is also advisable to arrange additional services early.
Look into language and integration programmes	There are various language courses and integration programmes, for example through the Instituto Cervantes or local adult education centres. Such programmes also help you settle in quickly and make new contacts.
