Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Canary Islands
Moving to Tenerife
The Canary Islands sit outside the EU VAT area and apply their own indirect tax, IGIC, instead. That single fact changes purchases and several cost calculations compared with mainland Spain.

We prepare and coordinate
Move Spain prepares the paperwork and helps arrange the official appointment or step. Availability remains with the authority.
What Move Spain cannot do for you
Some steps are legally yours alone. We say so up front, because a surprise halfway through a Spanish procedure costs you far more than an honest sentence here.
You attend in person
- NIE number: Extranjería takes your signature and checks your original ID at the counter.
- Empadronamiento: Most town halls ask you to sign at the counter, a few accept an online submission.
You pay the authority directly
- Modelo 790 code 012 fee, charged by Spanish government, Policía Nacional.
- Padrón certificate, charged by Your Ayuntamiento.
An external provider is involved
- Sworn translation, charged by Sworn translator (traductor jurado).
- Notary or certified copy, charged by Notary.
- Courier or postal costs, charged by Courier service.
Move Spain is a private relocation service, not a government authority. We prepare, check and coordinate. Why we started Move Spain.
Questions people actually ask
The national rules are the same everywhere in Spain. These answers add what is specific to Tenerife.
Why people trust us
Here is what you can hold us to. (Tenerife)
Avoid a rejected appointment
A missing signature or wrong document can mean a second appointment, weeks of delay, or another trip to Spain. A human checks everything before it reaches an official desk.
Updates in your own language
Status updates by email and WhatsApp in English, Dutch, German or Spanish, at every step of your application.
We say what we cannot do
We prepare, check and guide. We are not a law firm and we cannot attend an appointment in your place, and we tell you that up front.
Not sure what applies to you?
Answer a few plain questions and Move Spain determines your route, your documents and your real costs before you pay anything.
