Your relocation journey

  1. 1
    Free preview

    As a Norwegian citizen (EEA), you can enter Spain freely and stay up to 90 days without any visa.

    Why this matters

    EEA citizens can enter Spain freely, but stays beyond 90 days in a 180-day period require EU registration — not a visa, but a mandatory legal step.

    What you'll need

    • Valid passport or national ID card
    • Planned arrival date and intended stay length
    • Employment contract or proof of sufficient funds if not working

    Common mistake

    Assuming visa-free entry automatically covers long-term residency — you must register as a resident within 90 days of arrival.

    Full step-by-step guide, official links, and document checklist included in your Move Plan.

Get your personalized plan

We compile visa requirements, documents, registrations, and timelines for your exact route — verified against official sources, not forum posts.
