Why Choose Aqua Moving Services for Your Move to Spain

Intra-European moves are generally straightforward and do not require customs documentation for household goods. However, if you are moving to Spain from outside the EU, customs documentation will be required, along with the relevant import paperwork depending on your circumstances.

Aqua Moving Services has coordinated moves to Spain for private individuals and businesses relocating employees for over 20 years. We understand the customs landscape for moves to Spain and work with experienced destination agents on the ground in Spain to make sure your shipment clears customs correctly and efficiently. One survey, three like-for-like quotes from vetted Spain-route partners, one dedicated manager throughout. Transparent pricing, no hidden costs and a 99% repeat client rate.

Frequently Asked Questions about Moving to Spain

How long does shipping to Spain take?

Road freight from the UK to mainland Spain typically takes one to two weeks. Sea freight to mainland Spanish ports takes a similar time. Spanish island destinations including the Balearics and Canary Islands take two to three weeks by sea freight.

Do I need a NIE number before my goods arrive in Spain?

Yes. A Spanish NIE number is required for the customs clearance process when moving to Spain. Without it, your goods cannot clear Spanish customs. Your dedicated move manager will flag this at the outset so it does not cause delays. For help obtaining your NIE and other residency requirements, Clearview Immigration can advise.

How much does moving to Spain cost?

Costs depend on the volume being shipped, the Spanish destination, the shipping method and any specialist packing requirements. Aqua generates three like-for-like quotes from a single pre-move survey so you can compare costs clearly before committing.

What is relocation to Spain?

Relocation to Spain covers the full process of moving your life from one country to Spain. This includes the physical shipment of household goods, Spanish customs clearance and settling into your new home. Aqua manages the logistics and physical shipment side. For the wider relocation support including visas and homesearch, Clearview Immigration and Clearview Relocation provide those services alongside us.

    Very Impressed With Their Attention To Detail

    The packing team arrived on time, were efficient, tidy and unobtrusive and they worked very well together. The crew were superb and I was very impressed with their attention to detail and the quality of the packing, particularly for some items, which were of very sentimental value to us. In addition the Aqua team have been great from step one and I will certainly use them again when I move back to Singapore.
