Live The European Dream
We help American families and professionals move to Spain without the overwhelm. We take care of the visas, the housing, the schools, the taxes, and settling in after you arrive. You live the dream. We handle the details.
2-minute eligibility check · No cost or commitment
Your New Life in Spain. Done Right.
This is one of the biggest moves you will ever make - in a system you have never navigated, where one wrong step can mean a rejection, months lost, or thousands wasted. You have probably already gotten three conflicting answers to the same question. We help you get it done properly, the first time.
The Old Way
- Cobbling together a lawyer, separate agents, and endless forum threads
- Paying for visa paperwork, then handling housing, schools, and taxes yourself
- Coordinating separate specialists who never talk to each other
- Generic, one-size-fits-all checklists you are left to execute alone
- Guidance from people who have never made the move themselves
- Help that disappears the moment your visa is approved
The New Way
- One dedicated team handling your entire move, start to finish
- Everything under one roof - visas, housing, schools, taxes, and healthcare.
- A single point of contact with a coordinated, personalized plan
- A roadmap built around your family, your budget, and your visa
- Guidance from a team who have personally made the move to Spain
- Partners who stay with you well after you land, as you settle in
Takes 2 minutes. No commitment.
Two Paths to Spain. Which One Is Yours?
Most of the families we help fall into one of two groups. Not sure which fits you? That is exactly what the eligibility check is for.
Remote Workers and Entrepreneurs
You earn an active income working remotely for companies or clients outside Spain - as an employee, freelancer, or business owner. The Digital Nomad Visa lets you keep your career while building a new life in Spain.
- Employees, contractors, and business owners
- Income earned from outside Spain
- Keep your income while living in Spain
Retirees and the Financially Independent
You can support yourself without working in Spain - through retirement income, investments, or savings. The Non-Lucrative Visa is the classic route for retirees and financially independent families who want to enjoy the Spanish lifestyle at a relaxed pace.
- Retirees and pensioners
- Passive income or sufficient savings
- No need to work while in Spain
Everything You Need To Live Your Best Life in Europe
Visa and Immigration Support
We demystify the Spanish visa process, from the Digital Nomad Visa to the Non-Lucrative Visa, and manage every requirement for your relocation. Our team makes sure your paperwork is done right the first time, saving you months of potential delays and stress.
Tax Consultation and Registration
We turn the nightmare of Spanish taxes into a manageable system. From establishing tax residency to Autónomo registration and avoiding double taxation, we connect you with English-speaking experts so you know exactly what you’ll pay and how to optimize your situation.
Personalized Accommodation Search
Finding the perfect home is key to settling in. We offer a personalized property search, from short-term stays on arrival to securing your ideal long-term family apartment in a neighborhood that fits your lifestyle and budget. We navigate the local market, so you don’t have to.
School and Nursery Placement
For families, choosing the right school is one of the biggest decisions in the move. We guide you through Spain’s schooling options, from international schools to bilingual nurseries, and help you understand what fits your child, budget, and location.
Health Insurance Registration and Guidance
Navigating healthcare in a new country can be daunting. We explain your options for Spain’s public and private health insurance, connect you with English-speaking providers, and assist with registration to ensure your family has the coverage you need from day one.
Ongoing Relocation Support
Our commitment doesn’t end when you arrive. We stay on as your dedicated partners, offering ongoing support for everything from pet relocation queries to connecting you with local resources, ensuring your family thrives in your new Spanish life.
We’ve Made This Move Ourselves
Mari and Beau Schultz
We personally moved from the US to Valencia, Spain. We dealt with every confusing form, every frustrating government office, and every “but the website said something different” moment. We figured it out the hard way.
Mari speaks six languages, we’ve each immigrated three times, and we’ve built businesses abroad. Now we use that hard-won experience to help American families make the move without the chaos.
We handle your entire relocation - housing search, school placement, tax setup, healthcare registration, and ongoing support as you settle in.
We’re not reading from a generic checklist. We’ve gone through the Spanish relocation process ourselves, and we know how the practical pieces fit together - visas, residency steps, housing, schools, banking, healthcare, and the everyday details that make the move work.
To date, every qualified client who has completed our process has been approved. We know exactly what the Spanish authorities need to see, and we won’t take you on unless we’re confident you qualify.
Most firms disappear once your visa is approved. We stay with you through what comes next - social security registration, empadronamiento, your TIE card, public healthcare registration, long-term housing, and actually building a life in Spain.
What Our Clients Are Saying
We made the right choice for our family.
I know it can be scary, but taking that first step sealed the deal. Once you actually start the process, it really wasn’t that scary at all. I truly believe this is where we’re meant to be.
San Diego, CA → Valencia, Spain
Our lives are better — even after just two weeks.
I reached out to Mari and it was like, oh my God, she took over. I could not have done this without her. Our lives are definitely better, even in just two weeks of being here. It’s a dream come true.
Miami, FL → Valencia, Spain
Don’t try to do it alone.
I can’t imagine making this move without Mari and Beau. Just knowing we had them — that they were with us every step — made the whole thing manageable. Don’t try to do it alone. This is a big challenge.
Minneapolis, MN → Valencia, Spain
“Last year, I started researching how to move to Spain. I watched many YouTube videos, but the one that really caught my attention was Mari’s channel, Move to Europe. Her positive attitude and the detailed information she shared about the country motivated me to contact her.
She did not disappoint. Working with Mari made everything easy from day one, and the entire process was incredibly fast. Her efficiency and support made everything smooth and completely stress-free.
I am so grateful to Mari and her team—there’s no doubt I wouldn’t be living in Spain as a resident just three months later without their help. Thank you, Mari!”
“We were very fortunate to have been able to work with Mari and her team for our move to Spain.
From day one, Mari was communicative and clear on the expectations for what it would take to move our family half-way across the world. When we were initially looking at the steps needed for the visa process and finding schools for our children, we were inundated with information and unsure of where to start.
Mari had a step-by-step plan that broke down the process in a concise way—all from when to start requesting documents to looking for apartments once we arrived! They coordinated phone calls with schools, meetings with housing consultants for an apartment, and arranged video calls with lawyers and attorneys to help provide us with all of the information we needed.
Once we finished one step, Mari was ready to celebrate and move us onto the next. She and her team were able to lead an important (and complex) process for us, so that we could spend time actually getting ready for the move and acclimating into our new life.
Thank you, Mari and team, for being our sounding board throughout this process—so grateful to have had you in our corner!”
“We hired Mari’s team after a terrible experience with another company. Her team is FANTASTIC! They help you through every part of the process and make sure you are 100% prepared for each step. Communication has been excellent and they are super organized. Definitely recommend them!”
“As a single mom with two businesses, there is no way I would’ve been able to make this move to a different continent and a country I had never been to with my small family on my own.
Mari was godsend. I describe it as having had the perfect wife, it sounds silly, but I mean everything from holding my hand through complicated paperwork, to reassuring me in a practical way, to finding my son his dream school, to gently reminding me not to drop the ball on our delicate timelines.
She also helped me with something that I was super worried about which was getting my French bulldog on the plane with us because leaving without him would not have been an option.
I am eternally grateful. None of this would have been possible without her and I mean that from the bottom of my heart.”
— Yadi Alba
“When we first started thinking about moving to Europe, I found Move to Europe on YouTube — their content was so clear and practical that we decided to reach out, and we’re really glad we did.
We had heard many stories about how stressful and complicated relocation can be when you do it on your own, which honestly made us a bit nervous. That’s why we’re incredibly happy we trusted Move to Europe with the whole process.
Working with Mari and her team made everything smooth and stress-free. What we appreciated most is how involved and attentive she is at every step. It was also really reassuring to see that her personality is exactly the same in real life as on YouTube — open, clear, and genuinely helpful.
Her knowledge of European bureaucracy is impressive and makes a huge difference.
If you’re planning to move to Europe, we can sincerely recommend trusting Move to Europe with your relocation!”
“A great experience! They made a complicated and stressful process so much easier.
They took the time to meet with me on multiple occasions to ensure we were all on the same page and Mari provided me with resources to get all the additional documentation I needed to get my visa approved.
I wouldn’t have been able to do it without their help and I’m so grateful for their support, knowledge and kindness along the way.”
“Mari and Beau will be able to make your dreams a reality! Cannot recommend them enough.
They were with us every step of the way and available when we had any questions or inconveniences. Their knowledge and attention helped make the process of moving to Spain a stress-free experience.
Cannot thank them enough for their wonderful service.”
“What can I say about working with Mari? Honestly? It was the best decision we have ever made as a family.
Mari is so driven, she is kind and really cares about her clients. She is your greatest advocate and really knows how to break down a long and arduous process into bite size pieces.
I have spoken to many people here in Valencia who worked with other agents who were more expensive and either messed up their paperwork, intentionally misled them or just took their money and did the bare minimum. Mari walks you through every single step and goes above and beyond for you.
I am so grateful to her and to her amazing team, they are the reason we are in Spain living the life we had only dreamed could be possible for us. There are not enough stars in the world to rate how special she is and the tremendous work she does.”
— Alice Blackburn
“Mari was an incredible help in so many ways. I can’t imagine how much time it would have taken if I had to handle everything on my own.
Her team guided us in selecting the most suitable visa and supported us throughout the entire application process, making our move to Spain so much smoother.
They also shared invaluable tips about adjusting to life in a new country. If you’re planning to move to Spain, I highly recommend Mari and her team!”
— Anastasiia Matsulevich
“I had an excellent experience using Maria’s service to obtain my visa for Spain. From start to finish, the process was clear, organized, and far less stressful than I expected. The team was knowledgeable and responsive, and they walked me through every step, ensuring all documentation was accurate and submitted on time.
What stood out most was their attention to detail and willingness to answer questions quickly and clearly. They explained requirements in plain language and kept me informed throughout the entire process, which gave me real peace of mind.
Thanks to their professionalism and expertise, my visa was approved without any issues. I would highly recommend this service to anyone needing help with a Spanish visa—they truly make a complicated process feel manageable and straightforward. Thank you and can’t wait to see you in Spain!”

Our Mission
To help American families live the European Dream
The American Dream promised prosperity, safety, and opportunity for those willing to work hard. But for many families today, that dream feels increasingly out of reach.
Rising costs, declining safety, and a culture that prioritizes hustle over family time have left successful professionals feeling trapped in a system that no longer serves them. We believe every hardworking American family deserves better.
Spain offers many of the things families are looking for: good healthcare, strong schools, safer daily life, and more time to actually enjoy it. Getting there, though, can be confusing if you are trying to piece it together from government websites, forums, and conflicting advice.
We have made the move ourselves. Now we help other families do it with a clear plan, the right support, and fewer expensive mistakes along the way.

We Map Out Your Move
If it looks like a fit, we’ll invite you to a consultation to create a plan. We’ll go through your likely visa path, your timeline, your questions, and what it would take to do the move properly.
We Handle Everything. You Start Your New Life.
Once you become a client, we build and implement your full Relocation Roadmap: visa, documents, residency steps, housing, schools, taxes, and settling in, with support well after you arrive.

Frequently Asked Questions
We work with Americans relocating to Spain for a better quality of life: remote workers and entrepreneurs on the Digital Nomad Visa, and retirees and financially independent families on the Non-Lucrative Visa. Most are couples, families with children, and professionals who value white-glove service and want to avoid costly mistakes during their move.
You get our proven relocation system and personal guidance from people who have made this exact move, plus our vetted network of Spanish professionals, comprehensive visa support, housing assistance, school enrollment help, tax consultations, and concierge support that continues after you arrive. Above all, peace of mind that experts are handling every detail.
Every move is different. A single remote worker and a family of five with school placements and a pet to bring need very different levels of support, so we tailor each engagement to the scope of your relocation. Once we understand your situation, we’ll give you a custom quote based on the level of support you want.
We don’t just file a visa and wave goodbye. We architect your entire move (the entire visa process, then the taxes, the home, the schools, and your residency) and run every piece so it holds together as one plan. We’re not a visa factory. We take families by the hand through the whole relocation, with people who’ve made the move themselves.
We begin with a free consultation to create your personalized relocation plan. Once you become a client, we guide you through all visa and document preparation alongside pre-move logistics like temporary housing and school enrollment. Once you are in Spain, we manage your residency steps, including empadronamiento and your TIE card. Our concierge support then continues as you settle into your new life.
Most clients reach out 4–6 months before they want to move. That gives us enough time to confirm the right visa path, gather documents, handle apostilles and translations, and prepare the practical pieces without turning the move into a scramble. If your timeline is shorter, still reach out. We’ll tell you honestly what is realistic. If you’re more than a year out and mainly want to think through timing, visas, schools, housing, or budget, we offer paid Relocation Strategy Consultations before you’re ready for full-service support.
We live in Valencia, and it is our specialty, but we help clients move all over Spain. Depending on where you move, we may be able to help with additional pieces like accommodation and school search through our partner network. The core visa, residency, and relocation process is the same no matter where in Spain you choose to live.
