VERV ONE provides a complete relocation service for international clients moving to Barcelona, Sitges, Girona and the wider Catalonia region — regardless of where you are moving from. Having relocated ourselves, we understand both the excitement and the challenges, and provide the hands-on support that makes the transition smooth and enjoyable.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in VERV ONE's relocation service?
Our relocation service covers everything from initial area orientation and property search to practical setup including NIE applications, bank account opening, school and healthcare registration, utility connections, and ongoing settling-in support. We tailor the service to your specific needs, nationality, and timeline.
How long does it take to relocate to Spain?
A well-planned relocation typically takes 3–6 months from initial planning to move-in. Key milestones include obtaining your NIE (2–4 weeks), finding a property (2–8 weeks depending on requirements), and completing practical setup (1–2 weeks). We recommend starting the process at least 4 months before your intended move date.
Do I need a visa to live in Spain?
Visa and residency requirements depend entirely on your country of origin and personal circumstances. EU citizens can reside freely but still need to register, while non-EU nationals will typically require a visa or residence permit for stays over 90 days — options include the non-lucrative visa, digital nomad visa, entrepreneur visa, golden visa, or employment-based permits. Every situation is different, so we work with experienced immigration lawyers to carefully assess your specific case and guide you through the correct process.
