Relocation services in MadridAI-generated

What we handle when you move to Madrid

A relocation is roughly forty separate tasks pretending to be one decision. Below is what we take off your plate, organized the way the work actually happens rather than the way service pages usually list it.

Not every service belongs in every move. On the Discovery Call we work out which of these you actually need — and, just as usefully, which you don't.

Paperwork & Administrative Assistance

Spain's administrative sequence rewards doing things in the right order. We know the order.

What's included

  • Empadronamiento — town hall registration, the foundation most other processes rest on
  • NIE and TIE — identification number, then residence card, including appointment coordination and, in the higher packages, accompaniment on the day
  • Bank account setup
  • Social Security registration where applicable
  • Health card and healthcare access
  • Insurance guidance
  • Digital certificate — the credential that converts most Spanish bureaucracy from an appointment into a click
  • Transport card
  • Driver's license exchange (coordinated through an accredited independent professional; included in Premium Concierge)

A note on visas. We provide guidance, document preparation, and coordination: identifying the pathway that fits your situation, assembling a complete file, and keeping your timeline on track against consulate availability. Formal applications and legal representation are handled by an independent, authorized legal professional. We are not a law firm and we do not represent clients before public authorities.

Guidance for Professionals & Executives

Efficient, discreet support built around a working calendar: pathway selection, housing chosen for remote work or a specific office, an administrative sequence handled with minimal demand on your time, and early visibility on the tax questions that matter — including whether Spain's special expatriate regime applies to you.

International Moving & Shipping Coordination

A relocation isn't just paperwork and a place to live — it's your life, shipped safely across the Atlantic. We coordinate your international move from Miami to Madrid through our trusted, vetted moving partner, so you have one point of contact managing the whole journey.

What's included

  • Volume and inventory assessment, so the quote you receive reflects what you're actually shipping
  • Calendar coordination with the rest of your relocation — visa timing, lease start date, school term — so your belongings don't arrive three weeks before you can receive them, or three weeks after you needed them
  • Introduction to our moving partner and support through the quoting process
  • Shipment status tracking as part of your ongoing relocation support

How this works: The physical move is carried out and invoiced directly by our specialized moving partner — SAS Relocations coordinates the process as part of your overall relocation journey, but the moving contract, payment, and insurance are handled directly between you and the moving company.

Coordinating your international move

Additional Premium Services

Available within the Premium Concierge package or as standalone services, depending on what your move requires.

  • Home optimization — coordination of upgrades, light renovation, and interior design. We manage the process and the professionals; we don't carry out the work ourselves.
  • Home staging — sourcing and coordinating the rental or purchase of essential furniture and household basics, so the apartment is livable the night you arrive rather than the following weekend.
  • Pet relocation — coordinated with a specialist partner, including documentation and travel requirements.
  • Airport pickup on arrival day, with no luggage limit.
  • Premium private health insurance and other insurance coverage, arranged through a licensed independent partner.
  • Residential security — advice and coordination of home security measures.
  • Personal concierge — day‑to‑day errands and requests, for clients who need an ongoing local presence.
  • Domestic staff coordination — sourcing and managing household help.
  • Departure program — for when a stay ends: lease termination, deposit recovery, utility and account closure.

Third‑party costs for these services — transport, furniture, insurance premiums, and similar — are quoted individually based on your specific requirements.

Questions About Our Services

What's the difference between a relocation service and a moving company?

A moving company transports your belongings. A relocation service handles everything around that: visa pathway guidance, finding and securing a home, schools, registrations, banking, healthcare, and integration. We coordinate the move itself through a specialist partner, so both are covered without you managing two relationships.

Do you handle the visa application itself?

We provide guidance, document preparation, and coordination — identifying the right pathway, assembling a complete file, and managing your timeline. Formal applications and legal representation are handled by an independent, authorized legal professional. We are not a law firm and do not represent clients before public authorities.

Can I hire just one service instead of a full package?

Yes. School search with enrollment is available as a standalone service at $450, and several premium services can be arranged individually. Most clients find the packages better value, but if you only need one piece, say so on the call.

Do you work in cities other than Madrid?

Madrid is our specialty and where our depth is real — neighborhood by neighborhood, school by school. We'll tell you honestly on the Discovery Call if your destination falls outside where we can genuinely add value, and where relevant we'll point you elsewhere.

How far in advance should I contact you?

Six to twelve months before your target move date is ideal, particularly for families tied to a school calendar. We've worked with shorter timelines successfully — but the earlier you start, the more of your options are still open, especially around consulate appointments and school admissions.

Not sure which of these you need?

That's what the Discovery Call is for. Twenty minutes, no obligation, and a clear answer about what your move would actually involve.
