Expat

Want to move to Spain but have no idea where to start? As an American expat who moved to Barcelona in 2023, I had tons of questions. Do I need a visa? How do I find a place to live? Do I need to open a Spanish bank account? Will my phone work in Spain?

I spent a lot of time researching these questions, so I decided to compile all of the information into a “Moving to Spain Checklist”.
