We guide you through the paperwork and we solve your housing. This page sets out what that means in practice, where our limit sits and what it costs — so you can weigh us against any other advisor before you decide.

A relocation advisory accompanies a person or a family through the whole move to another country, not just through getting the visa. That means deciding which legal route fits your profile, putting the paperwork in the right order, solving where you are going to live, setting up the utilities and guiding the first administrative steps after arrival: town-hall registration, a bank account, health insurance, school enrolment.
The difference from a visa consultancy lies in scope, and it is worth understanding before hiring anyone. A visa consultancy finishes when the visa is granted. A relocation advisory finishes when your daily life works in the new country: when you have an address, a contract, the electricity connected, a bank account and the children enrolled. These are problems of very different sizes, and someone who buys for the first sometimes discovers the second too late.
At Aterriza España the core of the service is housing. Not out of preference, but because that is where the process really stalls: people arrive legally, with money in the bank, and nobody will rent to them — with no Spanish payslip, no permanent NIE and no credit history in the country, saying no is the easier path for a landlord.
We are a relocation advisory, not a gestoría. The distinction is neither legal boilerplate nor cosmetic: it changes what you will have to do with your own hands, and it is better known before paying than discovered afterwards.
Visa, NIE, town-hall registration, bank account, recognition of qualifications, utilities. We explain what is needed, in what order, what each office asks for and which mistake forces you to start over. You are the one who files. If something goes wrong along the way — a bank that refuses, a document that does not qualify — we step in and sort it out with you.
Here we do not accompany: we act. We build the file, negotiate with the landlord, get the default insurance approved and the contract signed in your name before you fly. We can promise this because it is our own product, not an administrative procedure that depends on third parties.
“The paperwork is accompanied; the housing is solved.”
A conversation about your actual case: which legal route fits you, what you already have, what is missing and in what order. You leave with a realistic plan of time and money — and if your case does not add up yet, you hear it in the consultation rather than finding out with the service already paid for.
If you already know the city, we start there. If you do not, we decide together: we weigh budget, work, climate and practical matters such as schooling or proximity to an airport, and propose the cities and neighbourhoods that make sense for your case.
We build the file the landlord and the insurer need to see, negotiate, get the default insurance approved and the contract signed in your name. You board knowing the address where you will sleep on the first night.
Electricity, water, gas and internet connected. Plus the route through the arrival paperwork in the order that works: town-hall registration, bank account, health insurance, school enrolment. We walk each step with you, in your language.
We do not limit the service to a list of cities. If you have already decided where you are going, we work there. And if you have not, that is one of the things we work out with you — arriving with the country settled and the city open is more common than it sounds, because deciding without knowing the ground is genuinely hard.
That said, four names come up repeatedly among people arriving from abroad, for their mix of climate, an established international community and a cost of living well below Madrid or Barcelona: Valencia, Alicante, Tarragona and Reus. We compare the options city by city in our article on the best cities to live in Spain, and the real budget for each in the one on the cost of living in Spain.
We publish our prices because comparing should be easy. There are three steps, and the first is free.
Payment is single. You pay the full amount when you accept the quote, and from there the process starts moving. No instalments, no later charges and no surprises halfway through.
It makes sense for someone with a real immigration process under way and the resources to settle in. We work with an indicative minimum of around €12,000, counting the settling-in reserve and what each legal route requires you to evidence. The figure moves with the city and the size of the family, so it is not a rigid rule — it is a reference so you can calibrate before spending money on a consultation.
It does not make sense — and we say so in the consultation, without hedging — for someone counting on finding a job in Spain to support themselves from the first month, or for someone exploring with no date in mind. In those cases what actually helps is planning, and that is what we do: we say what is missing and we talk again when it adds up.
What we do not promise: visa approvals, government timelines or outcomes that are not in our hands. Nobody can promise those honestly, and be wary of anyone who does. What we do promise is the housing — because it is our own product — and a straight answer about everything else.
