Moving abroad sounds exciting — until you face the reality of paperwork, housing searches, school enrollment, and endless appointments. That’s where turnkey relocation and immigration services make all the difference. In Valencia, one of Spain’s most attractive and livable cities, having a complete, end-to-end relocation partner means you can focus on your life, not logistics.

Our turnkey service takes care of everything — from finding your new home and managing visa requirements to helping your family integrate into local life. It’s the kind of support that transforms a stressful move into a smooth, well-coordinated transition.

What turnkey relocation really means

In practice, turnkey means “ready to live.” For families, retirees, or professionals moving to Valencia, that includes every step between decision and settlement — handled by experts who understand both Spanish bureaucracy and international expectations.

Unlike traditional real estate agents or basic moving companies, we provide a 360-degree relocation and immigration service that:

• Understands your needs before you arrive
• Aligns housing with visa and residency requirements
• Coordinates documentation and appointments
• Guides school selection and enrollment
• Supports registration and integration once you’re in Spain

Everything connects. Visa approval often depends on having the right lease or property purchase in place, while school enrollment depends on your registered address. We bridge these steps, ensuring nothing is left incomplete or delayed.

Why Valencia attracts international families and professionals

Valencia has quietly become one of Europe’s most desirable destinations for families, professionals, and retirees seeking quality of life without excess cost. It combines Mediterranean warmth with strong infrastructure, modern healthcare, and a slower, community-oriented rhythm.

• Affordable lifestyle: Cost of living is 25–35% lower than Madrid or Barcelona.
• Safe and family-friendly: Compact neighborhoods, clean parks, and accessible public transport.
• Education options: Excellent public, charter, and international schools.
• Cultural balance: A lively mix of local tradition, innovation, and international openness.

For many newcomers, the city’s human scale is what stands out. You can live near the sea, work from the city center, and have schools, shops, and cafés within walking distance. But even in such a welcoming environment, settling in requires navigating Spain’s detailed administrative framework — and that’s where our turnkey relocation support becomes essential.

The hidden complexity of immigration and housing in Spain

Spain’s immigration system is well-structured, but not always intuitive. Whether you’re applying for a Non-Lucrative Visa, Digital Nomad Visa, Work Visa, or Family Reunification, each permit involves multiple layers: proof of accommodation, financial documentation, insurance, consular appointments, and follow-up at the local Oficina de Extranjería once you arrive.

Housing is a key element. To apply for most long-term visas, you must already have a signed rental or purchase contract — and that document must meet legal standards. The same contract will later be used to register your address (empadronamiento) and apply for your TIE residence card.

Many expats underestimate this connection between housing and immigration. By the time they realize, they’ve already booked flights without the right paperwork or lease format.
We help prevent these pitfalls by aligning both tracks from day one: your visa pathway and your housing plan evolve together.

What our turnkey relocation service covers

At Livin’Valencia, we see relocation not as a checklist, but as a life transition. Our turnkey service brings together housing, legal coordination, and day-to-day guidance into one cohesive process.

Each relocation plan is customized to your circumstances — single professionals, couples, retirees, or families with school-age children — but the principle remains the same: full transparency, no surprises, and a trusted local partner by your side.

Thorough preparation before you even move

Behind every smooth relocation is meticulous preparation — long before the boxes are packed or the flight is booked.
We begin every client journey with a step-by-step orientation process designed to anticipate every administrative and housing requirement.

Our clients receive personalized tutorials and guidance materials that walk them through the entire relocation journey: from understanding how the Spanish system works to preparing the documents required by their consulate. This early preparation saves weeks once they’re on the ground.

When it comes to visas, we work closely with trusted immigration partners and coordinate timelines so that the visa and housing processes move in parallel — not one after the other. This alignment is crucial.
For non-EU residents, once you enter Spain you generally have 90 days to apply for your TIE residence card, and certain visas demand proof of long-term housing — not temporary or vacation rentals.

By structuring both pathways together — immigration and housing — we ensure your visa documentation, lease or purchase contract, and registration (empadronamiento) are all consistent and ready at the right time. This avoids last-minute stress and allows your family to transition legally, comfortably, and on schedule.

Why stress-free relocation depends on integration support

Relocating is more than moving boxes and signing papers. It’s learning how to live comfortably in a new country.
We take away the guesswork, helping you integrate smoothly both administratively and emotionally.

The benefit isn’t just time saved — it’s peace of mind.
Knowing that your lease, visa, and registrations are correctly aligned allows you to focus on settling into your home, exploring neighborhoods, and starting your new chapter with confidence.

Our ethical, transparent advisory approach also means no conflicts of interest: housing recommendations are based on your needs, not commissions from property owners. That’s how we ensure that every decision — from the apartment you rent to the school your children attend — supports your family’s long-term wellbeing.

Relocating with pets
For many families, pets are part of the family — and we treat them as such. We assist with every detail of your pet’s relocation, from veterinary documentation and airline requirements to finding pet-friendly housing and local veterinarians once you arrive. Valencia is a pet-welcoming city, with countless parks, beaches, and cafés that accept dogs. We make sure the move is comfortable for everyone — including your four-legged family members.

How to start your relocation to Valencia

The first step is clarity. A Pre-Move Consultation helps define your needs, budget, and priorities, while clarifying which visa route fits your situation best. From there, the turnkey relocation process begins — combining expert coordination, reliable timelines, and a focus on comfort and compliance.

Whether you’re planning months ahead or already packing, it’s never too early to get professional guidance. The earlier you align your visa, housing, and logistics, the smoother your arrival will be.

A successful move isn’t about perfection; it’s about preparation.
And when every detail — from your visa paperwork to your new home keys — is handled with care, you’ll have the freedom to enjoy what brought you here in the first place: Valencia’s light, rhythm, and quality of life.
