Clear answers before the move starts.

Partly, and you will probably use one anyway. A gestor files what you bring them. They do not choose your neighbourhood, they do not know which school has a place in your daughter's year group, and they do not attend the appointment with you. A solicitor handles your visa, which is genuinely their work and not ours, and we introduce you to ours. What neither of them does is help you decide where your family should live, which is the decision everything else depends on.

Yes, and some families should. Everything we know is learnable. It took us four years and three municipalities to learn it, and we made the mistakes on our own children. If you have time and no hard deadline, do it yourself. If your children need places in September, the calendar is the problem, not the research.

Because the school admission window does not move to match your visa timeline. Families who wait for visa certainty often end up applying for the following academic year.

Each child is assessed and applied for separately. Schools allocate places by year group, so availability can differ between your children even at the same school. We build the shortlist around schools with space across all of your year groups, which is a much harder filter than a list of good schools, and we tell you where the compromises are.

If you apply to every school we agree on and accept any suitable place offered, we run the next admissions cycle with you at no charge, up to twelve hours for the family.

No. We provide administrative coordination and relocation support. Immigration, tax and legal advice comes from qualified professionals we introduce you to.

It depends on the route, and the two answers are far apart. Publico or concertado: twelve months, because the statutory round opens once a year and closes. Private or international at a high-demand entry point - Reception, Year 1, Year 7 or Year 12 - eighteen months, because the popular schools place one to three years out. Everything else, visa appointments, apostilles, NIE and housing, fits inside those windows rather than setting them.

Common non-EU paths include the Digital Nomad Visa for eligible remote workers, the Non-Lucrative Visa for families with passive income or savings, and employer-sponsored work visas when a Spanish employer is involved.

The main sequence usually includes NIE or TIE, empadronamiento, healthcare registration, school enrollment, bank or rental paperwork, and any specialist steps tied to the family visa route.

Eighteen months for a high-demand entry point - Reception, Year 1, Year 7 or Year 12 - because those schools place one to three years out. Less competitive year groups have more room, but availability moves by school and by month, which is why we call about your exact year group rather than quote a rule.

Spanish public school tuition is state-funded. Concertado schools often cost EUR100 to EUR300 per month plus extras. International schools commonly run EUR7,000 to EUR15,000 or more per child per year.

Answer five questions about the type of school you are aiming at, your landing date, your children and your visa route. We tell you which admission route governs your family, which window applies and how many weeks are left before it closes. It is free and it takes under two minutes.

We provide relocation planning, sequencing, preparation, and specialist handoff. Qualified lawyers, tax advisers, gestores, and immigration professionals handle regulated advice and filings.

Many international families carry private insurance during the first months while residency, registration, and public healthcare access are being completed. The right path depends on visa route and family profile.
