Guide: flytte til Costa Blanca
Oppdatert 2026 · Blanca Guide
This moving to Costa Blanca guide focuses on practical first steps — paperwork rhythm, where to base yourself and what to sort in month one.
Admin rhythm: NIE and banking
Expect appointments for NIE/TIE processes and bank accounts. Keep digital and paper copies of contracts and IDs.
Choosing a first base
Rent before you buy when possible. Test commute, noise and winter vibe — summer and January feel like different coasts.
Healthcare and community
Register for healthcare pathways that match your visa/residency status and plug into local expat and Spanish networks early.
