We are happy to list the most common reasons for moving to Spain:
- The sunny climate;
- The houses are generally cheaper than in the Netherlands;
- The cost of living is lower than in the Netherlands;
- Medical care is accessible;
- Spanish culture is temperamental, but everything goes smoothly (mañana, mañana);
- Attractive number of holidays
- Traditional Spanish food is delicious and inexpensive.

Emigrate to Spain?Leave it to the professionals at De Haan
Emigrating to Spain is quite an undertaking. You must take into account the laws and regulations in the new home country, your household effects must arrive at the right place at the right time and you must also conclude all your current affairs in the Netherlands. Then we haven't even mentioned packing all your belongings, finding a suitable home and organizing a safe crossing of your household effects by plane, car or boat.
The Spanish-Dutch-speaking teams in both Marbella and Benissa have many years of experience in the local moving industry and are familiar with the specific laws and regulations in Spain.
Moving to Spain doesn't have to cause you any stress
You understand: such a move to Spain can be very stressful. For example, you have to take more things into account than if you were to move within the Netherlands. The Spanish government is less in a hurry when it comes to bureaucracy. It is therefore possible that a simple permit application takes longer than you expect. If you are going to arrange this yourself, it can cause you a lot of stress. Especially if you are not fluent in the Spanish language.
De Haan is happy to take a number of these sometimes stressful procedures off your hands. After all, we know that communication with Spanish government institutions is sometimes difficult and our partners in Spain can handle this excellently. This way you don't have to wait for months for the official documents you need to proceed with your move to a Spanish city.

What does moving to Spain cost?
Is Spain cheap to live?
The costs for a home are 25 to 40% lower than for a home in the Netherlands. That's what Numbeo's numbers tell you. In addition, most living costs are also a lot cheaper than in the Netherlands. So if you want to be cheaper, Spain is a suitable location for you. It is important to know that the average monthly salary is also somewhat lower than in the Netherlands. You therefore have to spend less on your home in Spain, but you also earn less.
How much money do you need per month in Spain?
How much money you need each month to live in Spain varies by region. When you move to Barcelona, you probably need more money than when you move to a village in the interior. In general, you will therefore spend less money on monthly charges in the Spanish country, especially if you compare to living in Madrid, a large city.
