Moving to Mallorca is about much more than finding a house. There are administrative steps, practical choices and a new daily life to organise. Having lived in Spain since 2019, I know how it feels to start from scratch, and I can guide you through the main steps.
The NIE
The NIE is the foreign identification number you need for almost any formal step in Spain: buying a property, opening a bank account, signing a contract. I explain how to obtain it and help you prepare the file.
Opening a bank account
A Spanish bank account is useful for paying the purchase, utilities, taxes and everyday expenses. I can point you to the right contacts and explain which documents are usually requested.
Healthcare
Your access to healthcare depends on your situation: employed, self-employed, retired or resident with private insurance. I help you understand the options and who to ask, without replacing the advice of the competent authorities.
Schools
If you are moving with children, the choice of school is often decisive. We talk about your priorities, such as language of instruction, location and type of school, and I help you identify the options near the area where you plan to live.
The gestoría
A gestoría is an administrative office that handles paperwork on your behalf: tax registrations, residence formalities, utility contracts and more. I work with local professionals and can introduce you to the right people. Fees of third parties are quoted by them directly.
Step by step
- A first conversation to understand your situation and timeline
- A checklist of the formalities that apply to you
- Introductions to local professionals, including an independent lawyer where needed
My own fees for this support: [TARIF]. Tell me about your plans and we will see how I can help.
