Where we work
Start with a free questionnaire and a $129 Personal Relocation Assessment. Then do the rest yourself with our tools, or bring in a verified, English-speaking expert for the parts that need one.
A short questionnaire: where you want to go, when, and what your situation looks like.
A written PDF with the routes worth exploring, the risks, the documents, and your next steps.
Do it yourself, upgrade to the full Plan, or bring in a specialist for specific parts.
Either way, you start with a clear plan built for you. Then you choose how much to do on your own, and you can switch or mix at any point. You stay in control of your money.
Most of a move is paperwork, appointments and doing things in the right order. With the right tools, you can handle much of it without paying anyone.
Pay for your plan once, instead of paying an agency to do paperwork you can easily do yourself.
For the parts where a mistake is expensive, we connect you with a professional in Spain or Portugal who fits your case.
Not the most expensive name and not a random Google result. The right person for your case, who answers in English.
Most people mix both: they handle the paperwork themselves with their plan and pay a specialist only for the tax or legal part.
Begin with the $129 Assessment. If you want the full step-by-step plan, the $129 is credited toward it.
Just one question? Ask An Expert — $49 →
A personal starting point for your move, written for your situation. You'll know which directions are worth your time and money before you hire anyone.
People seriously considering Spain or Portugal who want to understand their options before paying lawyers, agents or consultants. You can be at the very beginning or already halfway in and feeling lost.
The Assessment is planning guidance, not legal or tax advice. Routes are identified as worth exploring, not confirmed. Eligibility should be confirmed by a qualified professional, and the relevant authority makes the final decision.

Which routes are worth exploring and what each one asks of you.

Renting first or buying, contracts, and what landlords ask for.
Financing as a foreign buyer and what banks look at.
Cover that fits your visa requirements and your real needs.
Opening accounts, moving money, and what to sort out before you land.
Registering as self-employed or setting up a company.
Schools, documents for family members, moving with kids and pets.
Tax numbers, registrations, appointments and the paperwork in between.
What to do, in what order, once you arrive.
The right professional for the one part you can't do alone.
No. Expats & Nomads is a relocation planning service. We don't give legal or tax advice and we don't represent you before any authority. When a point in your case needs a legal or tax opinion, we say so clearly and can introduce you to a qualified professional.
No, and nobody honestly can. We identify routes worth exploring based on the information you give us and the published requirements. A qualified professional confirms eligibility, and the relevant authority makes the final decision.
Yes, that's one of the main reasons it exists. Your plan shows what to do, in what order, and which documents you'll need. It also marks the open points that should be confirmed by a professional before you act on them.
Yes. We work with vetted specialists in Spain and Portugal: immigration, tax and accounting, Social Security, property and rentals, mortgages, health insurance, banking, and company or freelancer setup.
No. Your plan is yours, and you can use it with any professional you choose.
Yes. If you continue to the full Personal Relocation Plan, your $129 is credited, so you pay $349 in total for the Standard Plan or $590 in total for the Complex Plan.
Spain and Portugal. If you're considering somewhere else, mention it in the questionnaire and we'll tell you honestly whether we can help.
Yes. If you only need, say, a tax adviser or help with a rental, tell us in the questionnaire and we'll suggest the simplest way to get it. For a single question, there's also Ask An Expert ($49).
Tell us anyway. Unusual cases are where a plan helps most. If, after reading your questionnaire, we think the Assessment isn't the right starting point for you, we'll say so before you pay anything.
