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.
How Our Moving to Spain Service Works
- Consultation
We begin by understanding your move to Spain, including where you are moving from, your preferred timescales and any specialist requirements. Your move is planned around your individual circumstances and the specific logistics of relocating to Spain.
- Documentation
Our team guides you through any necessary export paperwork, Spanish import requirements and customs documentation. This includes Transfer of Residence eligibility, NIE number requirements and itemised inventory preparation. Everything is prepared correctly before your shipment departs.
- One Pre-Move Survey
A dedicated move manager carries out a single pre-move survey, either virtually or in person. This allows us to assess the volume of your shipment, identify any specialist items and understand the full scope of your move to Spain.
- Three Competitive Quotes
Using the information from your survey, we obtain three comparable quotations from our approved Spain-route removal partners, allowing you to compare genuine like-for-like costs for your move to Spain.
- Move
Your belongings are professionally packed using export-quality materials before being shipped to Spain by road freight or sea freight depending on your destination and volume. Throughout the move, your dedicated manager coordinates every stage from collection through to Spanish customs clearance and delivery.
- Aftercare
Following delivery in Spain, we remain available to answer questions, resolve any issues and ensure your move has been completed successfully.

View Case Study 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.
They’re The Best
This is the third move Aqua have helped me with. They makes things so seamless and easy. Whenever my next move is (which I hope isn’t for a while, it’s exhausting), I would go to Aqua time and time again. They’re the best!
