Moving to Spain After Brexit: What You Need to Know
Webb Removals Step-by-Step Guide to Moving to Spain After Brexit
Moving to Spain after Brexit has brought about a number of changes for UK citizens hoping to make the Balearics or mainland Spain their new home. While it may seem more complex than it was before, the good news is that with the right support and expertise, your move can be just as smooth and stress-free as ever.
At Webb’s International Removals, we’ve successfully completed over 2,500 relocations post-Brexit, and more than 23,000 overall between the UK and the Balearic Islands. As both British and Spanish accredited, and with fully staffed depots in Kent and Mallorca, we are uniquely equipped to guide you through every step of your move.
So, if you’re wondering what’s changed and what to prepare for when moving to Spain after Brexit, read on for the essentials.
What’s Changed Since Brexit?
The biggest difference when moving to Spain after Brexit is the requirement for documentation and customs clearance. Free movement between the UK and the EU has ended, which means you’ll need to follow new rules for residency, work permits, and transporting goods.
But here’s the key: you don’t have to handle all that alone. At Webb’s, we’ve streamlined our services to handle all the post-Brexit logistics on your behalf — including paperwork, customs processes, and transportation. Our experienced team in both the UK and Spain ensures a fully compliant move, from start to finish.
Visa and Residency Requirements
If you’re planning on moving to Spain after Brexit to live full-time, you’ll now need to apply for a visa or residency permit. There are various options available depending on your circumstances:
- Non-Lucrative Visa – Ideal for retirees or those not seeking employment.
- Golden Visa – For those investing in Spanish property.
- Work Visa – If you’re employed by a Spanish company or self-employed.
Make sure to check the latest regulations and allow time for visa processing. And remember — your move doesn’t have to be delayed by red tape. With our guidance, your belongings can be safely transported and stored while your paperwork is sorted.
Customs Clearance: Don’t Go It Alone
When moving to Spain after Brexit, customs clearance is one of the most critical – and confusing – parts of the process. You’ll need to provide an inventory, proof of ownership, and various forms depending on your residency status.
Luckily, Webb’s International Removals is fully set up to manage all customs procedures on your behalf. We’re one of the only companies that are accredited in both the UK and Spain, and with customs clearance agents in Mallorca and Kent, we make sure everything is handled properly and efficiently.
Transporting Your Belongings – The Right Way
Post-Brexit laws now require all removal companies operating in Spain to use Spanish-registered vehicles. Many so-called “specialists” are no longer legally compliant — but not us.
At Webb’s, we have a fleet of Spanish-plated shuttle vehicles and full island infrastructure. Whether you’re moving to Mallorca, Menorca, or Ibiza, your belongings are delivered swiftly, safely, and legally. With no subcontracting and our own multilingual teams, you can trust that your items are always in good hands.
