Pre-Move Planning - Get Your Relocation Right from Day One
The most expensive relocation mistakes happen before you leave. Our pre-move planning session maps your visa route, documents, timeline and budget so you arrive prepared.
Why pre-move planning matters
Most relocation problems are caused by poor preparation - choosing the wrong visa, missing document apostilles, not allowing enough time for processing, or arriving in Valencia without an NIE and finding you cannot open a bank account or sign a lease. Our pre-move planning service exists to eliminate these problems before they happen.
A 90-minute planning session with a ValenciaMove consultant gives you a personalised roadmap for your entire move. By the end, you will know exactly what to do, in what order, and by when.
What the session covers
Visa selection
We assess your income, employment situation and goals and recommend the optimal visa route (Digital Nomad, Non-Lucrative, Highly Qualified Professional, or other).
Document checklist
A personalised list of every document you need, where to get it, whether it needs apostilling, and how long each will take.
Timeline
A week-by-week schedule from today to your arrival date, with clear milestones and dependencies.
Budget briefing
Visa fees, service costs, relocation expenses, first-month Valencia costs - all estimated for your specific profile.
Top 5 mistakes to avoid
Specific to your situation - the things we have seen go wrong before and how to dodge them.
Housing briefing
An honest overview of the Valencia rental or purchase market for your budget and preferred area.
Tax pre-brief
What to expect from Spanish taxes based on your income type, and whether the Beckham Law applies to you.
What you receive after the session
A written summary document covering your personalised document checklist, recommended timeline, estimated costs and next steps. This document becomes your relocation bible - everything you need to manage your own move, or to hand to us if you want us to handle it for you.
