How long can British stay in Spain? That one question can turn a dreamy plan into a tight timeline, especially when you are moving your whole life across borders.
Maybe you are coming for a fresh start, a slower rhythm, or the kind of mornings that smell like sea salt and strong coffee. Either way, Spain is not just sunshine and sangria. It is dates, stamps, and rules that quietly decide whether your move feels smooth or stressful.
This guide gives you the clear answer first, then walks you through the full relocation journey, from legal stay options and must have documents to packing, costs, and choosing the right man and van support for a safe trip to Spain.
TL:DR
- Most British citizens can stay up to 90 days in any rolling 180 day period in Spain and the wider Schengen area without a visa.
- Your days count across Schengen, so time in France, Italy, or Portugal also reduces your allowance.
- Use the official EU calculator to avoid guesswork and accidental overstays.
- If you want to stay longer than 90 days, plan a long stay visa or residence route before your allowance runs out.
- Get your key paperwork lined up early, because appointments and processing times can move slowly.
- Book transport with a trusted provider that prioritises speed and safety, with GPS tracking for peace of mind.
- Choose the right vehicle size and packing level so your move does not turn into last minute chaos.
Now let us make everything crystal clear, step by step.
The quick answer
Most British travellers can stay in Spain for up to 90 days in any rolling 180 day period without a visa, as long as the trip is a short stay (tourism, visiting family, some business, short courses).
If you want to stay longer, you usually need a long stay visa or a residence route before your 90 days are used up.
That is the headline. Here is what people miss.
The part people misunderstand
This is not a Spain only rule. Spain is inside the Schengen area, so your allowance is shared.
- 90 days is your total across Schengen.
- A weekend in Paris, a week in Italy, and a month in Spain all stack together.
- If you overstay, you can face fines, entry bans, and a nightmare for future travel plans.
If you already hold a long stay visa or a residence permit (for example a Spanish TIE), you are not playing the 90 day game in the same way. Those documents are designed for longer stays.
A simple way to remember it
Imagine you have 90 travel tokens.
Every midnight you are in Schengen burns one token. Entry day counts. Exit day counts. The clock does not care if you arrived at 23:50 or left at 06:10.
So if you are planning a move, treat your 90 days like fuel. Spend it where it matters most.
A mover friendly snapshot
| Your situation | What the 90 day rule means | The smart move |
|---|---|---|
| You are scouting areas and viewing rentals | Your short stays must fit inside 90 days total | Plan trips, track days, keep buffer |
| You are moving permanently | 90 days is rarely enough for settling | Start a visa or residence route early |
| You are doing a staged move (multiple trips) | Every trip chips away at the same allowance | Combine trips, reduce back and forth |
Now let us make it crystal clear.
The 90 days in 180 days rule, explained like a human
Think of the last 180 days as a window that slides forward one day at a time.
On any given day you are in Spain, border systems can look back 180 days and count how many days you were in Schengen.
- You do not get 90 days per trip.
- You do not get 90 days per country.
- You get 90 total days across the Schengen area within any 180 day lookback window.
If your plan includes France, Spain, Italy, and Portugal, all of those days add up.
What counts as a day
This is where people get caught out.
- Day of entry counts as a full day.
- Day of exit counts as a full day.
- Short hops do not reset anything.
- Staying in Spain but popping into another Schengen country still counts the same.
If you want a move that feels calm, build a buffer. Do not aim for exactly 90.
Three real life examples (the kind movers actually live)
Example 1: The scouting trip
You fly to Spain for 21 days to view neighbourhoods, meet agents, and test the commute.
Later, you return for another 40 days to sign a lease and set up essentials.
You have used 61 days. That is still fine, but you cannot treat the rest like unlimited.
Example 2: The slow burn move
You do 60 days in Spain, go back to the UK for two weeks, then return for 35 days.
That looks innocent. It is not.
In many cases, the second trip pushes you beyond 90 days inside the rolling window, even though you left briefly.
Example 3: The multi country road trip
You drive a man and van load through France, stay 3 nights, then continue to Spain.
Those 3 nights still count, because you were in Schengen. Your move route can quietly drain your days.
A simple table that shows how it plays out
| Example plan | Days in Spain | Days elsewhere in Schengen | Total used in last 180 days | Safe? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring scouting trip | 30 | 0 | 30 | Yes |
| Summer move prep (two trips) | 45 | 10 | 55 | Yes |
| A long “just one more month” stay | 95 | 0 | 95 | No |
A smarter way to plan your move days
Instead of thinking, “I have 90 days”, think, “I have 90 days to get the foundations in place”.
Here is a practical breakdown that many British movers find realistic.
- 10 to 20 days: scouting areas, viewing properties, checking schools
- 5 to 10 days: paperwork appointments and follow ups
- 5 to 10 days: packing, handovers, goodbyes, admin in the UK
- 10 to 20 days: arrival setup, internet, banking, local registration
That already puts you near the limit. Which is why long stay planning matters if you are truly relocating.
Use the official calculator
If your dates are messy, do not guess. Use the EU short stay calculator and keep a screenshot of your plan:
Border checks are getting stricter
The EU Entry Exit System began phasing in from 12 October 2025, with a progressive rollout over about six months. That matters because your time in Schengen is easier to record and easier to verify at the border.
If you are travelling during peak times, expect longer queues and slower checks, especially the first time you register.
If you are unsure, plan conservatively. Stress is expensive.
How to stay longer than 90 days legally
If you are moving, 90 days disappears faster than you think. You will spend it on house viewings, admin, and waiting for appointments.
Here are the common routes British citizens use to stay long term. The best option depends on how you will live and earn.
Option A: Non lucrative residence visa (live in Spain, do not work there)
This is popular with retirees and financially independent movers.
Official guidance:
Option B: Digital nomad visa (remote work)
If you work online for a company outside Spain, or as a remote professional, this can be the cleanest route.
Official guidance:
Option C: Study visa (language school, degree, training)
If your course is longer than 90 days, you will likely need a study visa.
Official guidance:
Option D: Work and employer sponsored routes
If you are moving for a job in Spain, your employer usually drives the process. Start early because paperwork has its own tempo.
Option E: Family routes
If you have a close family connection that gives you a legal path, get advice early so you do not waste months.
A practical rule of thumb
If you want your move to feel calm, start your visa plan before you start your packing plan.
Required documents and the official pages to bookmark
Paperwork is not glamorous. But it is the difference between arriving with confidence and arriving with a knot in your stomach.
Here is the good news: once you build a tidy document pack, everything gets easier. Appointments are faster. Questions are calmer. Your move feels more real and less like a gamble.
First, build a simple document system
Do this before you do anything else.
- Create a single folder (digital and physical) called Spain Move
- Keep scans of every key document in one place
- Carry printed copies of your core documents when you travel
- Save a photo of your passport page and travel insurance on your phone
It sounds basic, but it saves you on the day you are tired, sweaty, and trying to explain something in a noisy office.
For short stays (tourist style trips)
For scouting trips and pre move visits, you usually need:
- A valid passport that meets Schengen rules
- Proof of return or onward travel (sometimes requested)
- Proof of funds and accommodation (sometimes requested)
- Travel insurance (strongly recommended)
Official UK guidance for Schengen travel:
Spain entry requirements overview:
Pro tip for movers
If you are doing multiple trips, keep a tiny travel log. A note in your phone is enough. Dates in, dates out, countries visited. It keeps you safe with the 90 day rule.
For long stays and visas (the “moving for real” pack)
Requirements vary by route, but these are the usual suspects that come up again and again.
Typical long stay visa document checklist
Use this as a planning map, not as a final authority. Always check the specific consulate page for your visa type.
- Passport and photocopies
- Visa application forms
- Proof of funds or income
- Proof of accommodation in Spain
- Health insurance that meets requirements
- Criminal record certificate (where required)
- Medical certificate (where required)
- Proof of relationship or family status (if applying through family routes)
If you need to legalise UK documents for use in Spain, the UK government apostille process is here:
A quick table that helps you stay sane
This is not about being perfect. It is about being prepared.
| Document | Why it matters | Common moment it is requested |
|---|---|---|
| Passport copies | Identity checks, applications | Consulate, rentals, banking |
| Proof of income or savings | Visa and stability | Visa application, sometimes rentals |
| Proof of address | You live where you say you live | Empadronamiento, utilities |
| Health insurance | Residency compliance | Visa and residence paperwork |
| Legalised documents (apostille) | Spain accepts them as official | Visas, civil paperwork |
For moving and settling (the usual essentials)
Now we move from travel documents to life documents.
NIE number
You will meet the NIE everywhere: rentals, banking, taxes, utilities, vehicles.
Official guidance:
Practical advice: apply as early as you realistically can. Many people wait until after arrival, and then spend weeks feeling stuck.
Empadronamiento (municipal registration)
This is your local address registration with the town hall. The process varies by city, so always check your local ayuntamiento.
You will often need proof of where you live (rental contract, deed, or a host statement), plus ID.
Example official page (Madrid):
TIE (foreigner identity card)
If you enter on a residence route, you will usually need to apply for the TIE after arrival.
This is one of those moments where preparation pays off. Bring what you can, arrive early, and keep copies. Paper loves paper.
Official guidance:
Driving in Spain as a resident
If you become resident, your UK licence is only valid for a limited period. Many people miss this and get caught out.
If you plan to drive, check the exchange process early. It removes a whole layer of future stress.
Official guidance:
Moving household goods and possible tax exemptions
If you are transferring your normal residence to Spain, you may be eligible for customs and tax relief on your personal belongings, depending on your situation and documents.
In plain terms, Spain often wants to see that these are your personal items, not commercial goods, and that the move is genuine. That usually means an inventory list, proof of previous residence, and proof of your new residence.
Official guidance:
Pets, kids, and the little details people forget
These do not always show up on day one, but they have a habit of biting later.
- If you are taking a pet, check the UK government guidance early so you have time for vaccinations and paperwork: Taking your pet abroad, GOV.UK
- If you have children, keep birth certificates and school records easy to access. Even if the school does not ask now, they often ask later.
- If you are married and your partner is applying through your route, keep your marriage certificate ready. If it needs legalisation, use the apostille link above.
A realistic moving timeline
Moves to Spain are won in the boring weeks, not on moving day.
So here is the rhythm that keeps you calm.
8 to 10 weeks before
- Decide your legal route: short stay scouting or long stay visa plan
- Do a rough inventory of what is moving and what is not
- Choose dates that respect the 90 day rule
- Get quotes from a trusted man and van service that works across Europe
- Pick your must keep items and your let go items, because space is money
6 weeks before
- Confirm accommodation plan (rental, temporary stay, or family address)
- Collect key documents and store scans securely
- Book your transport and reserve the right van size
- Book time off work if you need it, because moving needs daylight
4 weeks before
- Start packing rarely used items
- Label boxes by room and priority
- Separate a “first night” box (kettle, chargers, bedding, meds)
- Plan your access details: stairs, lift size, parking, loading distance
2 weeks before
- Confirm collection and delivery windows
- Share access details (stairs, lift size, parking)
- Notify your bank, employer, subscriptions, and insurers
- Do a final declutter sweep, because you do not want to pay to move regret
Moving week
- Pack essentials last
- Keep passports and documents on you
- Photograph fragile items before loading
- Keep water and snacks close, because hunger makes bad decisions
Choosing the right van size for your move
This is where many people waste money.
Too small means panic, last minute runs, and extra days. Too big means paying for air.
The right van size is not just a number. It is comfort, control, and that priceless feeling of “we have enough room”.
A good man and van partner helps you choose the size with confidence, not guesswork. With VANonsite, you can scale up or down depending on what you are moving, how far you are going, and how urgently you want it delivered.
Start with one brutally honest question
Are you moving boxes, or are you moving a home?
Boxes are light and forgiving. Furniture is bulky, awkward, and emotionally expensive when it gets scratched.
If you have any of the following, you are in furniture territory:
- Sofa or armchairs
- Bed frame and mattress
- Wardrobe or chest of drawers
- Dining table and chairs
- Large TV or fragile art
If that list makes you nod, browse the dedicated service page too:
VANonsite vehicle sizes
VANonsite offers these vehicle sizes:
| Vehicle | Volume | Max payload | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Moving One | 1 m3 | 100 kg | A few boxes, a suitcase move, urgent documents |
| Moving Basic | 5 m3 | 300 kg | Student room, minimal studio essentials |
| Moving Medium | 10 m3 | 600 kg | Small 1 bedroom move, a careful declutter |
| Moving Premium | 15 m3 | 1000 kg | 1 to 2 bedroom, furniture plus boxes |
| Moving Premium Plus | 30 m3 | 3500 kg | Family move, bulky furniture, big kitchen items |
| Moving Full House XXL | 90 m3 | 20000 kg | Full household relocation, large homes |
A faster way to choose a size (no maths headache)
Use these quick anchors. They are not perfect, but they are shockingly accurate for most moves.
- Student or studio: Moving Basic to Moving Medium
- 1 bedroom with furniture: Moving Premium
- 2 bedroom with full furniture: Moving Premium Plus
- Full house: Moving Full House XXL
Still unsure? Choose the safer option. Underestimating is where your move turns spicy in the worst way.
What usually forces you to size up
Even if you declutter, these things eat volume fast:
- Wardrobes, especially flat pack units that cannot be collapsed neatly
- Mattresses, because they are huge and hate corners
- Kitchen items, because boxes multiply like rabbits
- Mirrors, framed art, and glass, because they need protective spacing
Access and stairs matter more than people admit
The same load can take 30 minutes or three hours depending on access.
Before you book, note:
- Floor level and lift availability
- Parking distance from the door
- Narrow staircases or tight turns
- Any restricted delivery windows
If your building is awkward, your future self will thank you for telling your mover early.
A mini checklist for the perfect quote
To get the right price and the right van, send these details:
- Pickup postcode and delivery postcode
- Preferred collection date and ideal delivery date
- Approximate inventory (boxes count plus major items)
- Photos of bulky furniture
- Access notes (stairs, lift, parking)
- Any fragile or high value items
If you want the move handled from door to door with the least friction, start here:
A quick way to estimate
- If your move is mostly boxes and clothes, you need less volume than you think.
- If you have furniture, you need more volume than you want to admit.
- If you have a sofa, a bed, and a wardrobe, plan for space and padding.
If you are unsure, choose safety over regret. The right van size turns moving day into a steady rhythm.
Packing that protects your life, not just your plates
Packing is emotional. It is also physics.
A good move keeps your belongings safe. A great move keeps your memories safe.
If you have ever opened a box and felt your stomach drop, you already know this truth: packing is not about filling space. It is about preventing movement.
The golden rule of packing
If it can rattle, it can break.
Your goal is to remove empty air inside boxes and remove friction between fragile surfaces.
Packing supplies that actually make a difference
You do not need a warehouse of materials. You need the right ones.
- Strong double wall boxes (especially for books)
- Bubble wrap or packing paper for fragile items
- Stretch film for drawers and soft furnishings
- Furniture blankets for sofas, tables, and cabinets
- Strong tape and a marker that does not smudge
- Zip bags for screws and fittings
Labelling that saves hours
Write two things on every box:
- Room destination
- Priority level (Open first, Open soon, Open later)
This single habit can turn your first week in Spain from chaos to calm.
What to pack like a pro
- Fragile items: double wrap, then box, then cushion empty space
- Electronics: original boxes if you have them, otherwise thick padding
- Furniture: blanket wrap, then strap, then protect corners
Room by room packing tips (quick wins)
Kitchen
- Pack plates vertically like records
- Wrap glasses individually and fill gaps with paper
- Keep a small “first meals” kit (mug, kettle, pan, cutlery)
Bedroom
- Pack clothes in wardrobe boxes or clean bags
- Keep bedding accessible so you can make the bed on night one
- Protect mirrors and picture frames with cardboard corners
Living room
- Photograph cable setups before unplugging
- Wrap TV screens with soft blankets and secure upright
- Remove and bag sofa legs if it helps loading
Office
- Keep laptops and drives with you
- Pack paperwork in clearly labelled folders
- Back up critical files before moving week
What to keep with you
- Passports, visas, key documents
- Medication and prescriptions
- A spare set of clothes
- Laptop and chargers
- Jewellery and valuables
The first night box (your survival kit)
Do not skip this. It is the difference between a smooth landing and a stressful scramble.
- Chargers
- Toiletries
- Bedding
- Basic tools (small screwdriver, scissors)
- A couple of plates and mugs
- Snacks and water
- Cleaning wipes

What does it cost to move to Spain?
The honest answer is: it depends on distance, volume, access, and timing.
The helpful answer is: you can control more than you think.
If you have ever priced up a move and thought, “Why does one quote feel reasonable and another feels wild?” you are not alone. A move to Spain is a mix of logistics and reality. The more clearly you define your move, the more accurate and fair your quote becomes.
What you are really paying for
At its core, a removals to Spain quote usually covers three things:
- Space in the vehicle (volume)
- Weight and handling (how delicate and awkward the load is)
- Time on the road (distance, route, and delivery plan)
Then the extras layer on top. Some extras save money long term, because they prevent damage, delays, or double handling.
The biggest cost drivers
- Van size and total volume
- Collection and delivery complexity (stairs, parking, long carries)
- Seasonality and last minute bookings
- Packing and extra handling needs
- Storage gaps between leaving and moving in
A clear cost breakdown table
Use this to understand where your money goes and where you can optimise.
| Cost area | What it includes | What makes it rise | How to keep it sensible |
|---|---|---|---|
| Transport | Driving time, fuel, route planning, delivery scheduling | Longer distance, urgent timelines | Book earlier, combine trips, plan a realistic window |
| Loading and access | Carry distance, stairs, lift limits, parking restrictions | No parking, narrow stairs, long carry | Share access details early, reserve parking where possible |
| Packing and protection | Materials, wrapping, box prep, furniture protection | Fragile items, high value items, lots of furniture | Declutter, pre pack non fragile items, use the right service |
| Special handling | White glove care, careful placement, premium items | Art, antiques, delicate electronics | Choose White Glove only where it matters |
| Storage | Short term holding between homes | Gaps between move out and move in | Align tenancy dates, keep a buffer plan |
Hidden costs people forget
These are the little money leaks that turn a “good price” into a stressful bill.
- Extra days in temporary accommodation because delivery timing slipped
- Extra fuel and time because the building has no practical parking
- Replacing broken items because packing was rushed
- Second trips because the van size was underestimated
That last one is brutal. Paying twice hurts more than paying slightly more once.
How to lower your moving costs without cutting safety
You do not need to compromise your belongings to save money. You need smart choices.
1) Reduce volume, not comfort
Every box counts. Every forgotten corner becomes a paid corner.
- Donate or sell bulky items that are cheaper to replace in Spain
- Be ruthless with “maybe” items
- Keep sentimental items, but pack them properly
2) Be flexible with dates
If you can avoid peak weeks or give a wider delivery window, you often unlock better availability and smoother routing.
3) Pack strategically
You can pre pack the easy stuff and still use professional help where it matters.
- Pack clothes, books, and non fragile items yourself
- Use a packing service for fragile items, glassware, and furniture protection
Explore:
4) Tell the truth about access
It sounds small, but it is massive.
If there are stairs, mention them. If parking is tricky, mention it. If the lift is tiny, mention it. Good planning prevents last minute delays, and delays cost money.
5) Choose the right service level
If you have premium items, do not gamble. If you do not, do not overpay.
- For delicate, high value deliveries, choose White Glove Delivery
- For a full household relocation, explore Home Removals

FAQs
How long can British stay in Spain as a tourist?
In most cases, up to 90 days in any rolling 180 day period across the Schengen area. That includes Spain, plus other Schengen countries you visit on the same travel cycle.
If you want to double check your dates, use the official tool and keep a screenshot for peace of mind:
Can I do 90 days, leave for a week, then come back for another 90?
Not automatically. The 180 day window is rolling, which means your allowance refills slowly as earlier days fall out of the lookback window.
If you are planning a staged move, it helps to:
- Keep a simple travel log (dates in, dates out)
- Leave a buffer and do not aim for day 90
- Use the calculator above before you book flights
Does time in other Schengen countries affect my stay in Spain?
Yes. Your days are shared across Schengen.
That quick stop in France, the weekend in Italy, or the road trip through Portugal can quietly cut into your Spain time.
This matters for movers, because many removals routes across Europe pass through Schengen countries.
Do my 90 days reset on 1 January?
No. There is no calendar reset.
The count is based on the last 180 days from today, not the year on the calendar.
Can I extend my stay in Spain beyond 90 days without a visa?
For most people, no. If your plan is to live in Spain, you should choose a long stay route.
These official pages are a strong starting point:
- Non lucrative residence visa, Consulate of Spain in London
- Digital Nomad Visa, Consulate of Spain in London
- Study visa, Consulate of Spain in London
Can I work remotely from Spain during my 90 day stay?
Short stays are usually treated as tourism style visits. Remote work rules can be complex, and the safer approach for longer plans is to use a route designed for it.
If your move includes working online from Spain, the digital nomad option is often the cleanest framework:
What if I own a property in Spain?
Property ownership does not change the 90 day rule.
You can own a home and still be limited to 90 days as a visitor. If you want seasons, not snippets, you will need a residence route.
What documents should I keep handy while travelling to Spain?
For travel and entry requirements, start here:
If you are moving, keep a compact document pack on you, not in the van:
- Passport and copies
- Proof of accommodation
- Insurance details
- Key paperwork for your visa or residence route (if applicable)
- A simple inventory list for your belongings
What happens if I overstay?
Overstaying can lead to fines, entry bans, and long term friction with future travel. It can also complicate visa applications later.
If you are close to the limit, do not gamble. Plan a legal route, or reset your schedule properly.
How far in advance should I book a move to Spain?
If you want the best availability and the smoothest scheduling, earlier is better.
That said, life changes fast. If you need speed, VANonsite supports last minute moves too:
What is the easiest way to move a small load to Spain?
A man and van service is often the fastest and most cost effective option for smaller relocations, student moves, or urgent deliveries.
If your move is mostly boxes, a few essentials, or a compact furniture set, this approach keeps things lean and efficient.
I have fragile furniture. How do I keep it safe?
Fragile items need two things: protection and patience.
If you are moving furniture, especially glass, mirrors, or premium pieces, explore:
For high value items and careful placement in your new home, choose:
Can VANonsite help if I am moving a full household?
Yes. If you are relocating a whole home, you want a plan that covers volume, protection, and timing.
Start here:
And for Spain routes specifically:
Do you offer storage if my move out and move in dates do not match?
Yes, storage can be a lifesaver when keys do not line up.
If you suspect a gap, mention it early when requesting a quote. It helps you plan a cleaner timeline and avoid costly short notice solutions.
Final word
Moving to Spain is exciting, but it is not just a change of scenery. It is a deadline, a checklist, and a bold decision that deserves a smooth landing.
Respect the 90 day rule, line up your documents early, and choose a transport partner that treats your belongings like they matter.
