Budget and Cost of Living
  1. 7 Calculate a six-month reserve based on the couple’s scenario

    Establish an affordable monthly limit within the €800–1,200 budget and determine the minimum untouchable reserve from savings. The output will be a financial plan until business income begins.

  2. 26 Launch monthly monitoring of expenses and remaining savings

    Compare actual expenses from the first weeks with the plan and set limits for housing, food, transportation, and medical care. Determine the date by which income will be needed or expenses will have to be reduced.

  2. 18 Organize the trip to Spain

    Book the route for both applicants, prepare a travel folder, and ensure access to proof of legal entry, accommodation, and funds.

Integration and daily life
  1. 19 Enter Spain and retain proof of entry

    The couple arrives via the agreed route, settles in, and keeps documents confirming the date and legality of entry. This creates the basis for local procedures.

    Check the status of documents, the sustainability of business operations, the available reserve, and whether actual life circumstances align with the original plan. Based on the results, decide whether to continue, adjust, or activate the contingency plan.
