What's inside the Starter Kit
Everything we wish someone handed us on day one
Instead of the forty browser tabs we collected along the way.
STEP 1
The visa gauntlet
The two types of Spanish visas, and how to find the consulate that handles your application.
STEP 2
The visa that's actually yours
Which visas you qualify for, which ones depend on your nationality, and what the fees look like.
STEP 3
Documents and appointments
What to prepare, how long it really takes, and when it's worth bringing in the experts.
BONUS
The two-year citizenship path
Who qualifies, and a realistic timeline from arrival to Spanish passport.
A little preview
Three things most people get wrong
Tap each card. The Starter Kit is full of these.
Plus our newsletter
What lands in your inbox after that
Signing up also gets you our emails, written by the two of us from Valencia.
What everyday life in Spain actually feels like
The good parts, the confusing parts, and the things nobody posts about.
Visa and citizenship updates
When rules, fees, or thresholds change, we'll tell you what it means for your plans.
Cost of living, city by city
Real numbers from people who live here, not a blog post from 2019.
First word on new guides, tools, and Spain Sessions
Subscribers hear about new courses, free tools, and events before anyone else.
Who it's for
This is for you if you're tired of settling
You've worked hard, followed the rules, and still feel like the life you were promised keeps moving further away. Spain won't fix everything, but it might be the better life you've been looking for.
Who's behind this?
We're Paul and Bea
We're Filipinos who moved to the US in our 20s for the American dream. After 13 years in Southern California following every rule with no green card in sight, we sold almost everything, packed six suitcases, brought our dog, and moved to Valencia without ever having set foot in Europe.
Two years later, we applied for Spanish citizenship. Today we're Spanish citizens, and we share everything we learned so your move is a little less guesswork than ours was.
From our community
Don't believe us, believe them
"I feel like I am finally getting close to my life dreams!"
The information you and Paul have provided is well thought out and takes a lot of guess work out of a very stressful situation.

"You've put together such a valuable resource, thank you!!"
This is exactly what my husband and I need as we plan our visit and then our move to Spain.
