The questions to answer before you go
These are the things people most often wish they had sorted out earlier. Each one has a clear answer for your situation, and I’ll connect you with the expert who can give it to you.
When will Spain treat you as a tax resident?
Many people only find out after they arrive, when it already affects their whole income.
How will your pension and savings be taxed?
Social Security, UK pensions, 401(k)s, IRAs and investments are all treated differently in Spain.
Which health insurance will your visa accept?
Cover, age limits and pre-existing conditions vary a lot between insurers. The right policy matters for both your visa and your peace of mind.
Which visa fits your situation?
Non-lucrative, digital nomad or another route: the best option depends on your income, work and plans.

About Laetitia
I learned the hard way so you don’t have to
When I moved to Spain, I discovered the tax complexity the same way most newcomers do: after it was already a problem. Nobody explained the 183-day rule, the overseas asset declaration, or how moving pension money could trigger unexpected tax.
I built Coming to Spain to give people the guidance I wish I’d had. I’m not a lawyer or tax advisor, but I’ve spent years building relationships with the people who are, and who specialise in helping people from the US and UK move to Spain.
I know who to connect you with, when, and in what order. I join your calls when I can, I follow up, and I make sure nothing falls through the cracks.

This is one of the most common traps. If you transfer US pension or Social Security payments to a Spanish bank account, Spain may classify this as income and tax it — even if you've already paid US taxes. Timing and strategy matter enormously here.
-
Non-EU citizens can stay in Spain for up to 90 days in any 180-day period without a visa. To stay longer, you'll need a visa. But even without one, spending 183 cumulative days in a calendar year can trigger Spanish tax residency.
-
The Non-Lucrative Visa is for people with passive income (pensions, investments) who won't work in Spain. The Digital Nomad Visa allows remote work for non-Spanish clients. Each has different income requirements, tax implications, and processing timelines.
-
My initial consultation is free. Most partner services (financial advisor, insurance broker) also offer free introductory calls. The tax & legal consultation with Carlos is $150 for 45 minutes and is the best single investment you'll make in your move.

It depends on your lifestyle, budget, and — critically — tax situation. Different regions have different income tax rates. After the tax consultation, many clients reconsider their initial city choice once they see the numbers. Valencia and parts of AndalucĂa are often the most financially attractive.
