How your Spain Retirement Plan works
Moving country is not one decision, it is about forty of them spread over two or three years. The plan is those decisions, in order, with the ones that are yours to make marked clearly.
Answer five short questions
Who is moving, where from, roughly when, and whether you know where in Spain. Every one of them can be skipped — the plan is built either way.
Get your plan
A checklist of the steps that apply to your household, grouped into the five phases of the move and dated against your target month.
Work through it at your pace
Each step explains why it matters, what your options are and how to do it. Tick it off, skip it, or mark it as not applying to you.
Ask for help only where you want it
Where a step needs a professional, we show you up to three who work with international retirees — never a directory of a hundred.
The five phases of moving to Spain
Your plan tells you which one you are in, and what the next one needs from you.
DiscoverIs Spain right for you, and whereabouts?
PlanThe legal, tax and healthcare route — and what happens to your home.
PrepareWinding things up and packing them off.
Move & arriveThe journey, and your first weeks in Spain.
SettleClosing the loose ends and renewing what needs renewing.
What you get
A checklist that knows where you’re from
A British retiree needs a visa and a licence exchange; a German one needs neither. You are never shown a step that does not apply to you.
Dates that mean something
Give us a target month and every step gets a window — “ideally 6 to 9 months before you move” becomes an actual range on your calendar.
The options, not a recommendation
Sell, let, or keep the house? We lay out what each one means and what to check. The decision is yours; we are not paid for it either way.
A number you can trust
One readiness percentage, weighted so that a visa application counts for more than joining a walking group — and steps you skip leave the total entirely.
Questions people ask before they start
Is it really free?
Yes, and it stays free. We are paid by professionals when you ask us to introduce you to one — never by you, and never for anything you do inside your plan.
Do I have to answer everything?
No. Only your first name and an email address are needed to create the plan. Every question after that has a “skip” button, and the plan works with none of them answered.
We haven’t decided on Spain yet. Is this too early?
It is exactly the right time. The first phase of the plan is about deciding whether and where — budgets, areas, and what living there actually costs.
Is this legal, tax or financial advice?
No. We explain what the steps are and what the options mean so you can have a better conversation with a qualified professional. We are not a law firm, a tax practice or a broker.
What happens to my email address?
We use it to send your plan, the link that reopens it, and occasional updates when your plan has something to say. One click stops those. We never sell it.
Do I need a password?
No. Your plan opens itself on this device for a year, and if you switch to another one we email you a link. There is no password to forget and none stored here to leak.
