Immigration to Spain for British, American and Canadian Citizens
Immigration to Spain works differently depending on the passport you hold. The visa routes are the same on paper, but the tax consequences, the healthcare arrangements, the driving licence rules and the paperwork you need from home are not. That is why we have written a separate relocation guide for each of the nationalities we work with most, and why we keep them updated as Spanish law changes.
