Irish Moving to Spain could face costs between €1,500 and €6,000 or more for international removals, depending on the volume of your items and chosen transport method, with sea freight being more affordable but slower than air freight. The overall cost will be significantly influenced by the cost of living in your specific Spanish region, the rental market, and whether you are buying or renting property, which often requires a substantial upfront payment of several months’ rent. You’ll also need to factor in the cost of setting up a Spanish bank account and obtaining an NIE number for property or work, plus potential unexpected higher taxes and costs of living.
