Every Mistake We Made
Moving to Valencia
Six months of visa headaches, scams, and bureaucracy — distilled into the playbook we wish we had.
One-time purchase · Instant access · Free lifetime updates
Moving abroad is exciting.
The logistics? Not so much.
Visa Confusion
Digital Nomad? Non-Lucrative? Golden Visa? Which one applies to you? What documents do you need? In what order?
Apartment Hunting Nightmare
Scams, 3-month deposits, landlords who ghost you, neighborhoods that look nice online but aren't.
Banking Maze
Which bank? How do you open an account without residency? What about your US accounts?
Tech Lockouts
Your Spotify stops working. Netflix shows different content. Your bank app flags suspicious activity. (All happened to us.)
We spent 6 months figuring all this out the hard way.
Now you can skip the trial-and-error and learn from our experience.

Who's Behind This?
We're David and Alex — two Americans navigating international moves. Alex moved to Barcelona in late 2025 after his company got acquired. David is planning his own European move. Both of us come from tech backgrounds.
Alex spent months researching, made expensive mistakes, and eventually figured it out. This playbook is everything he learned, organized into the guide we wish existed when he started.
We're not immigration lawyers or professional relocation consultants — we're people who did the thing (or are doing it) and documented everything along the way.

Questions?
› Is this up to date?
Yes. We update the playbook monthly as we learn new things and as regulations change. You get free updates forever.

About 70% of the playbook applies to moving anywhere in Spain. The visa info, banking, healthcare, and bureaucracy sections are the same. The neighborhood guide is Valencia-specific.

For legal questions, consult a professional (we include lawyer recommendations in the playbook). This is our real experience, curated resources, and the step-by-step process we wish we'd had.
