Prepare your arrival in Barcelona

Are you considering moving to Barcelona and develop your professional and personal project?

Barcelona is one of the most visited cities in Europe and the world, and is consistently ranked the best city in Europe in quality of life for employees. But beyond the numbers, its locals can tell you of a dynamic, cosmopolitan city of contrasts, a city cradled by sea and mountains where wide avenues and modern skyscrapers coexist with narrow medieval streets. 

Barcelona's openness and hospitality attract people from all over the world, many of whom decide to stay. As a result of that, Barcelona is a diverse and multicultural city with a large and active expatriate community of 150 different nationalities. As much as 18% of the city's population is composed of its thriving foreign community.  

However, moving into a new city, either alone or with family, is not an easy process. There are always questions to be solved and procedures to deal with before settling down, such as applying for visa and residence permit, finding a place to live or choosing a school, amongst others. 

Whether you are still considering relocating to Barcelona or have already arrived, here you will find all that is necessary for a smooth transition.  

In no time, you will find yourself settled and ready to enjoy everything that this beautiful, vibrant city  has to offer.

Welcome to Barcelona!
