An Expat’s Guide to Living in Spain
By Arin Vahanian
When I tell people that I've lived in Spain, and enjoyed a quality of life that few other countries can match, I often get a remark such as, “you're so lucky!”  For most expatriates, living in Spain seems like an unattainable fantasy, something they can only dream about but never actually fulfill.  But it need not be this way!

The reason I'm telling you this is that living in Spain is something definitely achievable, and certainly not impossible, even for a non-EU citizen.  Of course, there are difficulties when one moves to a foreign country.  But the procedures of moving to Spain and living there are not very different from what you would do to move to any other country.  And the reward of living in Spain is definitely worth the effort.

That’s why I’ve written “An Expat’s Guide to Living in Spain” with the hopes of helping others achieve their dream of living in one of the world’s most wonderful countries.

This isn’t the first such guide and it certainly won’t be the last, but what I’ve done here is compile a comprehensive guide, which will tell you what you need to do through each step of making your move to Spain and living there. 

The Costa Brava is a 160-kilometre stretch of beautiful, rugged coastline in the region of Catalonia in the north east corner of Spain.

Some of the things I cover are: working in Spain, obtaining a residence visa and gaining citizenship, buying property in Spain, obtaining health insurance, and many other things.

And whilst I cannot cover every possible scenario, I’ve tried to cover the most common aspects of making a move to Spain and living there. 

Also, by reading this guide, it is already assumed that you have a deep interest in moving to Spain, so I haven’t included very much on the different regions, nor have I written a lot on various cultures or customs.  This is a guide mainly for those who have already decided they want to move to Spain and just want to know what they need to do and how they need to do it.  Because certainly, there are many Spain travel books that can describe the various regions better than I can.  What I’ve tried to do here is to tell you, in simple language, what to do when making a move to Spain.

There are however, a few things I recommend that you do, in addition to reading this guide:

Always contact your nearest Spanish Consulate to verify the various laws and procedures.  I’ve tried to be as accurate as possible when writing this guide, but even by the time this is published, certain laws and procedures might have changed.

Once in Spain, it is very helpful to hire a lawyer or gestor, as they can help you bypass many of the regulations and can make life a lot easier for you.

At the end of each section, I’ve included some contacts for you.  All of these sources can give you very valuable advice and it is to your benefit to contact them and research other sources as well.  These contacts are references for me, in that I’ve used them to help me write this book.  But for you they can be far more valuable, as they can help you actually achieve your goals, whether it be purchasing property or applying for a visa.

The Complete Report $20 - Live In Spain

Attached to this guide are some visa forms, which you can use to apply for certain visas.  Throughout the guide, I’ll refer to these forms, which you can then look up.  However, these forms are in Spanish and I’ve only included some of the most common ones.  It’s still best to contact your local Spanish consulate or a Spanish lawyer if you have any questions about applications. 

Understand that I’ve tried to be as accurate as possible and have researched all of my sources, but that there is always the possibility that some procedures will have changed by the time you read this guide.  The information contained within is accurate at the time of printing, and I cannot be held liable or responsible in the case that any information is deemed inaccurate.

You can either read this guide from beginning to end (which is what I recommend) or you can read whichever section interests you the most.  However, whatever you do, I hope you will consider coming to Spain and enjoy all that it has to offer you.

Again, I would like to point out that this isn’t a tourist’s guide to Spain.  This guide is for those who are yearning to move to Spain and live there, but aren’t sure exactly how.  This guide gets right down to business and tells you in plain language what you need to do to make your dream come true.

So are you ready to fulfill your dream?  I hope so….because if you follow through, you too will be able to live in Spain and become the envy of expatriates around the world!

Happy reading!
