What we do

Everything You Need To Live Your Best Life in Europe

Visa and Immigration Support

We demystify the Spanish visa process and handle the documentation and requirements for your relocation, coordinating with licensed immigration lawyers wherever needed. Our expert team ensures your paperwork is perfect 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 understanding tax residency and how to avoid double taxation, to autónomo registration for those who’ll work remotely, 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 upon 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, finding the right educational environment is paramount. We guide you through Spain’s diverse schooling options, from top international schools to bilingual nurseries, helping you secure a place that nurtures your child’s growth and makes for a smooth transition.

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 the registration process to ensure your family has the coverage you need from day one.

Ongoing Relocation Support

Our commitment doesn’t end when you arrive. For clients who want continued support after the move, we’re your dedicated partners — helping with everything from pet relocation queries to connecting you with local resources, so your family thrives in your new Spanish life.

“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!”

— Naide Silva
★★★★★

“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!”

— Lorain
★★★★★

“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!”

— Dionne & Nelson Foote
★★★★★

“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.”

“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!”

— Mike & Anna
★★★★★

“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.”

— Susanna
★★★★★

“Mari & 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.”

“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!”

“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.

Europe – and Spain in particular – offers what America once promised: affordable excellence in healthcare, education, and daily life. But the path to Europe isn’t just about geography – it’s about transformation. We don’t just help families move, we help them reclaim their lives.

We’ve walked this path ourselves, navigating every bureaucratic maze, every housing challenge, every moment of doubt. Now, we use that hard-won expertise to make your journey seamless.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

This is for remote professionals, entrepreneurs, families, and retirees who want to relocate to Spain for a better quality of life — people who value white-glove service and want to avoid costly mistakes during their move.

We’re a true full-service relocation partner — with you for every step of the process. That includes comprehensive visa support, our vetted network of Spanish professionals, housing assistance, school enrollment help, tax consultations, and ongoing support after you arrive — plus the peace of mind of having experts handle every detail from start to finish.

We begin with a free consultation to create your personalized relocation plan, then guide you through all visa and document preparation, alongside essential pre-move logistics like temporary housing and school enrollment. Once you arrive, we help with your residency processes (empadronamiento, TIE card), and for clients who want it, our concierge support continues as you settle into your new life in Spain.

Traditional immigration lawyers typically only handle visa paperwork and leave you to figure out everything else. We’re a full-service relocation partner who has personally made this move with our own family. We also take care of apostilles, sworn translations, and notarization services to take as much work off your plate as possible.

We have a 100% approval rate for qualified clients who follow our system. We achieve this by carefully vetting all clients before we partner with them to ensure they meet all the requirements. Plus, we offer a visa approval guarantee – if your application is denied despite providing all correct documentation and following our guidance, we’ll handle the administrative appeal process at our cost and work with you until your visa is approved.

While we help with relocation anywhere in Spain, most of our clients are moving to Valencia, Madrid, Málaga, and Marbella – the most popular destinations for American families. We have established networks and deep knowledge of these cities. (Plus, we live in Valencia – so we’ll personally meet and greet you if you move here!)

We’ll answer your key questions and you’ll get a clearer picture of the path ahead.

2

Onboarding and Personalized Relocation Plan

Typically within 1 week after you partner with us

Once you decide to move forward with us, we schedule an in-depth onboarding call with you, where we dive deep into your family’s specific needs – from visa strategy and housing preferences to children’s schooling and pet relocation. We then craft your bespoke Relocation Roadmap and provide a personalized checklist of all required steps, setting clear milestones for a smooth journey.

Visa and Document Preparation

Generally 2–3 months

This is where we guide you step-by-step through gathering and preparing all necessary documentation for your chosen visa (e.g., Digital Nomad, Non-Lucrative). We manage the complexities of apostilles, notarizations, and sworn translations for required documents like FBI background checks, marriage certificates, and proof of income/work experience. Our team ensures every detail is perfect before submission.

4

Pre-Move Preparations and Logistics

Ongoing throughout the 2–3 months leading up to your move

While your visa documents are being prepared, we guide you through critical pre-move logistics. This includes advising on the best time to book flights, assisting in securing short-term accommodation for your arrival, navigating the enrollment process for your children’s schools or nurseries, preparing all necessary documentation and arrangements for relocating your pets, and offering practical advice on packing and international moving options.

5

Your Smooth Transition to Spain

After you arrive in Spain

Once you arrive in Spain, we help you hit the ground running. We assist in securing your long-term accommodation, guide you through the empadronamiento (town hall registration) process, and manage the appointments for your TIE (residency card), ensuring your arrival is smooth and stress-free.

6

Settling In and Thriving in Spain

Optional ongoing support after you arrive

For clients who want continued support after arrival, we help your family truly settle in and thrive – assisting with opening local bank accounts, setting up utilities, navigating the healthcare system (public or private), and connecting you with our tax experts. Beyond these essentials, we offer ongoing support for any questions you have as you adapt – from finding reputable language schools, to integrating with European life, to connecting with other like-minded expat families. Our goal is to ensure all aspects of your new life run smoothly and help you live your best life in Spain.
