five top tips

  • 01Get a bank account: This will be the first thing most utility providers, telecom connectors and employers will require.
  • 02Get your NIE: This is a ´foreigners number´ and will probably be the second thing that utility providers will request.
  • 03The government offers free Catalan lessons to foreigners, in order to promote this rare and unusual language, so take advantage of it.
  • 04Agents in Spain can ask for up to nine months worth of rent as a deposit, ensure you have sufficient funds to pay this.
  • 05Spain is notoriously bureaucratic, allow between three and ten times as much time as you normally would for administration tasks.

Interesting fact

La Sagrada Familia, a vast privately funded Roman Catholic church and one of Barcelona top tourist attractions has been under contraction since 1882 and is not expected to be fully completed until 2026.
