Moving to Spain or living here as a foreigner means dealing with unfamiliar paperwork, terminology and deadlines. Our goal is to make this information easier to understand.

This website is an independent information resource. Here you will find plain-language guides to the main immigration and administrative procedures in Spain: what each document is, who needs it, which requirements usually apply and where to find the official sources. Our content is prepared by a team with experience in Spanish administrative and immigration procedures, and is available in Spanish, English, Ukrainian, Polish and Russian. We review and update our guides regularly, as rules and requirements can change.

The information on this website is general in nature and does not constitute legal advice. Please always check the current requirements with the competent Spanish authorities.
