Frequently Asked Questions

Do I qualify for a Spanish visa?

In order to qualify for the Non-lucrative visa, you will need to demonstrate more than €28,800 per year (€2400 per month), plus an additional €7,200 per dependent. This income should come from passive sources, like a pension, Social Security, rental income, or an annuity.

To qualify for the digital nomad visa, you must be able to prove income of at least 2 times the minimum wage per month (€2,763 for 2025) for a single applicant. To include an adult dependent, add 50%. To include a child dependent, add 30%. You must also have a university degree or at least 3 years of experience working in your field.

We recommend starting the process at least 4 months before you want to move and up to a year before your target move date. It typically takes at 2-3 months to secure your paperwork required for the visa. The average approval wait time is then an additional 1-2 months.

You have options. Depending on where you want to move there may be public options, private options, and international schools to consider. Once you sign on as a package client we can use one of our coaching calls to orient you to the public vs private vs international systems and give you advice and pointers on where to start in your school search.

Finding a home in a new country can be daunting. You might hear about affordable rentals but not know where to look, or you might need to be sure your rental meets the requirements for your visa. We can help. Our local experts know the best neighborhoods and can help you find a place that fits your needs and budget. Our rental search includes neighborhood analysis, a full lease review and translation, and can be done either in-person or remotely.

Unsure if you qualify for your visa of choice? Get on the phone with us (sign up for a free consultation below) and we’ll let you know. We have a 100% approval rate for clients who meet qualifications.

We get it. As pet owners ourselves we understand how important it is to get your pets to your new home safely and calmly. We know all of the options and can use a coaching call to walk you through your options, the paperwork process in the US or Canada, and the customs clearance process in Portugal. We’ll include a detailed, comprehensive checklist to help you through the process if you choose to move your pet yourself.

Deciding what to do with your possessions is a very personal decision, but it’s one that we have a lot of experience discussing with our clients. We can use a coaching call to help you understand your options, understand the costs, and make the decision that is right for you.
