Client Success Stories
Real relocations. Real results. 500+ families living their Spanish dream with MyMoveSpain’s visa and property coordination.
"Best decision we ever made."
We dreamed of Spanish sunshine for years but the visa process seemed daunting and buying abroad felt risky.
MyMoveSpain made it stress-free. They showed us how our UK pensions qualified for Non-Lucrative Visa and found us a beautiful villa in Los Alcázares within budget.
What impressed us most was the coordination. Visa approved and property completion happened the same week. We moved into our villa the day after collecting residency cards.
They introduced us to the British community. Within two weeks, we had joined a bowls club and made more friends than in 10 years in Manchester.
Monthly costs €1,150 versus £2,200 in the UK. We sat outside for Christmas lunch.
We couldn't have done this without MyMoveSpain.

UK Retirees
"Fast, professional, perfect."
Toronto winters were brutal, and rent was $2,800 monthly for a tiny condo. I could work remotely from anywhere with good internet.
MyMoveSpain understood what remote workers need: fibre internet, workspace, quiet for calls, near the beach. They found me a stunning sea view apartment in Mazarrón with an office room and 600mbps fiber.
€145,000 total, that's $210,000 CAD. Buys nothing in Toronto.
Visa approved in six weeks. Property completion perfectly timed.
Now I work Canadian hours from my Mediterranean terrace. Morning beach walks, €12 lunches, saving $900 monthly.
Delivered exactly what was promised.
DAVID CHEN
Canadian Digital Nomad
"Flawless from 5,000 miles away."
Retired from Arizona, where summers hit 115°F, and healthcare costs $1,400 monthly. We wanted a European adventure.
Our Social Security plus 401k easily qualified for a Spanish visa. MyMoveSpain handled everything from the USA.
Virtual viewings, flew over for a three-day trip, and chose a gorgeous Camposol villa for €165,000. Half what Arizona costs.
They coordinated the visa and property perfectly. Both were completed in January 2026.
Settlement support outstanding. They drove us everywhere, introduced us to clubs, and helped with registrations.
Living costs €1,350 versus $3,200 Arizona. Playing golf three times weekly.
Living our best retirement.
