A practical first checklist before making plans to move to Spain.

Use this page as a starting checklist, not as legal advice. Visa and residence rules change, so verify each step with official Spanish sources before paying agencies, booking flights, or resigning from work.

First steps

• Identify your reason for going to Spain: work, study, family, visit, or another path.
• Check the official consulate page for the visa category.
• Prepare civil documents early and keep scanned copies.
• Budget for translations, appointments, flights, deposits, and emergency money.

Red flags

• Anyone promising guaranteed approval.
• Requests to pay large fees without an official receipt or written agreement.
• Advice that only comes from social media screenshots.
