Pre Malaga - Moving To Spain? Preparation Will Serve You Well !
A little preparation will serve you well. So, once you’ve decided that Malaga is the place and before buying tickets and heading on down, you should collect a number of documents and do some research. To start your preparation, make a check-list of all the documents that you’re likely to need in anticipation of the red tape here in Malaga…
For example
- birth, marriage and divorce certificates
- chequebooks, credit cards
- driving license
- insurance papers
No visas are necessary for U.K. citizens to enter Spain. However, a full ten year passport is necessary and don’t forget to pop into the post office for your EHIC medical form (which replaces the old E111). We’ll be talking more about the EHIC form in the
Health Section.
It’s a good move to get a dozen or so passport-size photos for each family member… and several photocopies of EVERYTHING!
More about preparation…
If you have children of school-age then it’s important to bring the child’s education record with you to Malaga. Most schools will request this.
Also, most ask to see the vaccination certificates … so best to be prepared.
And … when you’re organising the tickets to Malaga please make sure to get travel insurance, too. This is not the time to penny-pinch… and prepare enough cash money to cater for any emergency.
