Frequently asked questions about moving to Spain
How long does moving to Spain take?
A well-prepared family move to Spain typically takes between 3 and 6 months, depending on the visa route, housing search and school admission timelines. Starting early is the single biggest factor in a smooth relocation.
Which visa do I need to move to Spain?
It depends on your profile: the Non-Lucrative Visa for families living off passive income, the Digital Nomad Visa for remote workers, highly-qualified professional permits or family reunification. The Golden Visa was withdrawn in April 2025. We assess your situation and manage the full application.
Can RUGA help with international schools in Spain?
Yes. We advise on British, American, IB, French and German curriculum schools across Madrid, Barcelona, Marbella and Mallorca, and manage the entire admission process for your children.
What does a full relocation service include?
Full-service global mobility: everything from visa and residence permits, property search and negotiation, school admissions, tax and wealth planning, healthcare and insurance, to a personal concierge service during your first months in Spain.
