People love the “Hall of Happy Clients” where our clients tell their experience about our services :-)
Meanwhile, let us guess… We’re almost sure we will get at least one of the following right:
- You want to legally settle in Spain but don’t know where to start.
- You already live in Spain and you have taken your friend (who speaks very little Spanish) with you as your interpreter to sort out important things at immigration offices, public offices, notaries, driving licence offices, police stations, and other places you’re thinking about right now… and something went wrong because of the language barrier.
- You may have tried to do things on your own thinking that everybody will understand what you say in Spain because they reply in broken English.
- You are overloaded and confused with lots of contradictory information from forums, cloned Websites, Facebook Groups, and comments from what neighbours and friends have to say about visas, Spanish residencies for EU and non-EU citizens, as well as healthcare in Spain.
- You’re looking for a real professional expert who gives you peace of mind and solves the problems I mentioned.
Welcome once again, you are in the right place, right at the beginning of having your Spanish worries solved :-)
Why should you count on us for relocationing to Spain?
Believe me, a person who speaks bad and broken English does not fully understand you in the same way you do not fully understand them.
We promise you this because we once spoke in broken English and my understanding was at the same level: awful.
Also, in Costa Blanca Spain and Costa Calida Spain there are thousands of English-speaking residents from many different areas. We dozens of accents every week; some stronger than others.
Are you sure they understand what you say at those places I mentioned before?
We do not see that clearly, as we havce witnessed very many good ones over the years.
But it’s not their fault, as we are in Spain and Spanish is the official language.
And, let us be honest with you, it’s not your fault either. Where’s the law that says you must learn Spanish while living in Spain?
Nowhere.
You’ve come here to enjoy life, the sun, the good weather, and you want to keep away from trouble.
We help you get Spanish residency
Living in Spain all year long has nothing to do with coming to visit the country for a few weeks.
As a tourist, the situation does not vary much worldwide: you spend a limited time in the country you are visiting, have fun, and then go back home. Unless unexpected problems rise, that’s the end of the story.
Permanent residents however encounter a number of problems that tourists don’t, dealing in general with Spanish residency, healthcare, police / court matters or official translations.
Since 2010, we have been helping people from many different nationalities with all the legal documentation you will need as a newcomer, as well as to solve everyday Spanish issues and other legal documentation required as a resident.
Our services will give you the peace of mind we all want when living in a foreign country.
We are here to help, just get in touch with us anytime and let me know those concerns or problems that you may have.
“Let us support you. Let us be your voice in Spain”
The good and the bad news of Spanish residency
Spain is not perfect, like every single country on the earth.
We know that some of the reasons why you are living in this area or dreaming of moving here are to:
- Have a more peaceful and relaxed existence
- Enjoy the 300+ sunny days
- Live without stress and anxiety
- Start a new exciting life away from routine
- Learn Spanish
- Experience the Spanish culture
- Have a social life
All this (and more) is definitely what you will find in Spain. That’s good news, isn’t it?
Such an ideal life.
A dream that can come true very easily.
Almost every single client we have feels as if Spain is their own home and loves living here.
We are laidback and friendly people :-)
Unfortunately, we are bringing some bad news too, which comes up in the same package as the dream.
You may have to deal with:
- Health problems (all kinds, no exception)
- Legal documentation to purchase/sell property, stay or work in Spain legally
- Unexpected police/court issues
- Bureaucracy and paperwork that seems to never end
- Lots of confusing and contradictory information
- Spanish residency
- NIE number
- TIE cards
But…
We are here to help and be your voice in Spain, without worries :-)
You are not alone: We are your Spanish relocation advisers
It is a horrible feeling not to understand what people say because you don’t speak the language.
Even more frustrating (and scary) is being at official and public places where people talk to you, give you directions and seem to speak ten times faster than you do in your own language.
And what about wasting your time, spending money for nothing as well as ending up in the wrong place, going round in circles over and over again?
We understand you. We have been there before and experienced similar things when we spoke no English at all.
Lots of frustration and uncertainty.
You don’t need to go through all that mess on your own if you don’t feel confident.
Let us help you out. You are not alone.
