Moving to Spain After Brexit

EU Customs Requirements

Since the UK's departure from the European Union, you should follow specific customs requirements when moving belongings from the UK to Spain. These requirements are in place to ensure smooth and efficient movement of goods between the two countries while also ensuring compliance with relevant laws and regulations. To understand the detailed customs regulations and procedures, we recommend visiting the official website of the European Commission or consulting with a reputable customs agent. They will provide you with comprehensive information on the necessary documentation, import/export procedures, and any specific requirements based on the nature of your belongings. You can ensure a hassle-free customs clearance process by staying informed and prepared.
Gentlevan has a checklist to get easily through the customs paperwork. We also stay up to date on changes in requirements, such as limits on imported household goods or duty exemptions.

Visa Requirements for Living in Spain

As a UK citizen, you will need a visa to live in Spain after Brexit. The specific visa you will need may depend on various factors, such as your stay's duration and particular circumstances, for example, the digital nomad visa. It is essential to understand the different visa options available to you and ensure that you meet all the requirements to obtain the appropriate visa.

Arriving in Spain

For comprehensive information on visa requirements, visit the official website of the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs or contact the nearest Spanish embassy or consulate in the UK. They will provide the most accurate and up-to-date information on visa types, application processes, and any additional requirements. By being well-informed about the customs requirements and visa regulations, you can ensure a smooth transition and make the necessary arrangements to comply with the legal obligations when moving from the UK to Spain.
You might also need to register with the local town hall (empadronamiento), apply for a NIE number, or sort out healthcare and schooling for children.
