One of the most significant decisions you'll have to make when moving to Spain is whether to enroll your children in public or private schools. We'll discuss the pros and cons of both options and what you need to know before making a decision.
If you're considering homeschooling your children in Spain, we'll go over if this is not allowed or not.
Learning Spanish is a crucial part of living in Spain, and we'll explore the options available for your children to learn the language and how to become fluent.
Is Spain a religious country? We'll discuss the cultural differences you should be aware of when raising children here.
When is the best time to move to Spain? Application process? Cost of private school?
If a family has several children, can they all enroll in just one school? What is a concertado school?
Finally, we'll cover the healthcare system in Spain and how it will work for your children. We'll explore the differences between the healthcare system in Spain and your home country and what you need to know when it comes to your children's healthcare.
If you plan on moving to Spain with your children, this video has everything you need to know. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy learning about how to make your family's transition to Spain as smooth as possible!

Love the video! People always talk about single people moving, but there's so much more to consider with kids.
True! We’re fortunate we don’t have to worry about it but our friends with kids have a lot more to hurdles to jump through for their move!
Absolutely love your content and candor around things that matter! Wondering if there are resources/programs in public schools and/or concertades that will help non-Spanish/Catalan speakers pick up the language. I have two school-age children (13 and 10) respectively who I want to integrate into the public school system. Any information would be appreciated. Muchas Gracias!
This is extremely helpful
Thank you!
THANK YOU! for this video =)
Thanks for watching 🙏🏼😊
Relevant and helpful!
Thank you for watching!
Thank you very much! It's very informative! ♥️
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching 😊
Hey guys! I love your videos they have been so helpful. I would really love to see an update video of your residency renewal process. Your initial videos where super helpful last year. I would love some guidance once again for the two year non lucrative visa renewal 😊
That’s good to know! Glad it helped 😊 Update on renewal coming soon (because we’re still in the process) We’ve gone through a very interesting experience and can’t wait to share it! 😊
on point on the videos as usual. thanks again
Thank you for watching! ☺️
Love love love, this video..... Thank you so much.
Parents, look into the Europa School International in Sevilla.
Thank you for the support and kind words! ☺️
Hi guys, I just found you’re channel recently and love it!
I’ve been binging your content because I have a 2 month stay in Valencia coming up.
My Spanish is limited and, this might seem a bit silly but could you do a video on getting a haircut there and good places to go? I know I’m going to need one but I’m not sure how well that will work for me in Spanish
Hi! Thanks so much! Great idea for a video! 😊
i’m 16 and finished school last year, my parents are selling our house at the end of next year and i’m dreading moving. don’t want to go at all and have lived in the same house my whole life
Aww, I’m so sorry to hear that. I hope whatever is best is what happens to you. Change can be good, and change is inevitable. I felt that way when I was 12, but things got better fairly quickly.
Thank you, this was so helpful. The only thing I wish was covered was for families with young children/babies. What are the daycare options for the little ones under 2? Is there anything different that needs to be considered for families with little ones/babies? What about pregnancy through labor and delivery? - Would love follow up information on that if possible! Thank you!
In Spain, daycare options for children under 2 include public daycare centers, private daycare centers, family daycare, and hiring a nanny. Families with babies should consider age-appropriate facilities, feeding and nutrition needs, and health and safety measures.
For pregnancy, labor, and delivery, Spain offers comprehensive healthcare services through public or private clinics. It's important to choose a healthcare provider, such as a gynecologist or midwife, to guide you through the journey.
Please note that specific details and requirements may vary based on your location. For more information, consult local authorities, healthcare professionals, or expat support groups.

so if you move in Feb/Mar and choice-in to schools for your kids. What do they do until it school stars in the fall (Otoño)?
This applies to kids not enrolled in school yet. It’s the most ideal scenario but doesn’t apply to everyone.
Paul y Bea, can you give me an idea for, 2 month bnb somewhere at El Canayal or Granvia, how you curve about this geographical side of Valencia?, adios, Manolo
I'm Puerto Rican and Filipino American, I really want to go with my family
I don't understanding the suggested timing for families arrival. If you come in the January to get the best school selection for the following fall, what do you do for the spring?
Hello! This is best suited if your kids have not started school yet.
You can homeschool or private school. Spain doesn't explicitly ban homeschooling.
Hi! How do you find the fireworks in Valencia? I’ve read in a few expats group that it seems like fireworks are a year round thing vs just during Fallas and we have 2 dogs so this is a big thing for us..
We love the fireworks! The expats are correct, they don’t just do fireworks during Fallas, it’s pretty much a year round thing with random pops here and there. The dogs we see on the street don’t seem to mind but I bet there are a lot of anxious ones indoors.
Thanks for your thoughts! I wonder, would someone who would be working full time from home would find the fireworks to be a nuisance while working or it’s just random pops for a few minutes and won’t really disrupt the day to day?
@@holasammie the fireworks outside of march aren’t that often and if it does, it’ll only last a few seconds so it’ll be over even before you are actually interrupted. In our apartment, when we close our windows, we barely hear anything outside. So overall, not too bad 😊
@@EverythingIsBoffo thanks so much! We’re in the process of gathering our requirements for DNV and considering Madrid and Valencia for our tiny family. We hope to meet you when we get there! 😊
Are there any forums or social media groups for us families moving to Spain? To share tips, advice and maybe even make friends. Thanks!
You are more than welcome to join our Facebook group! Just make sure to properly fill out the questionnaire 😊 facebook.com/groups/everythingisboffo/?ref=share_group_link&exp=7ffb
Hi! watching all your videos in preparation of our plan to retire in Spain sometime next yr !
Can u pls share your experience with regards to taxation. Thanks in advance ❤
Hi! Thanks for watching! We recommend talking to a tax expert! That’s all we can say about taxes as we are still very new to Spain!
Hello! Glad to come across your channel. 😊 Were a born again Christian family and would soon move to Spain. Would you know if they have born again Christian schools there? As well as born again christian Church? Tysm and God bless 🫶
Hello! Sorry we don’t have that info. Maybe ask your current church if they have a sister church in Spain?
@@EverythingIsBoffo thank you! Hope that you also tackle in demand jobs and respective salaries in Spain in general. Looking forward to your next vids! Your channel is very helpful and informative! 🙂
Great video again thank you. Forgive me but have you shared any content about the best places to live in Valencia out of the city?
There is so much conflicting information and your sources seem quite trustworthy.
I was thinking la Cañada? Has anyone got any other viable locations with a good education set up for English speaking ex pats?
Appreciated 🙏
Not yet! It's easier to personally be in the city and visit the places yourself. Sometimes, better to stay for a few nights to see which area works for you.
Totally agree 👍🏼
Great video; very helpful! I do wish special-needs topics had been covered though. I know Spain has some special-needs schools and they do their best to integrate SN students into regular school, but I would like to know more specifics on the topic for like kids with Autism and Intellectual Disabilities. Thank you for the video though as it was still very helpful!
Ah, sorry! But maybe we can cover that in another video. We’ll ask Marina if she has any experience in it. Thank you for watching!
Hi Paul/Bea, what area did you end up staying in? Looking to move with kids in about a year time.
Hello! We live in Valencia.
@@EverythingIsBoffo El Carmen? What are your top recommended places to live in Valencia?
@@angelyap4537 We were considering anywhere with grass for our dog so we went to see Benimaclet, cuitat vella, Ruzafa, El Pla de Remei, La Roqueta, and would have lived in any of them. we’re just in Ruzafa as it was the first apartment that accepted us.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
💕💕💕💕
Hello I have a question which city has a cost of living is cheaper Valencia or Alicante?
According to the Numbeo:
Consumer Prices in Valencia are 2.2% lower than in Alicante (without rent)
Consumer Prices Including Rent in Valencia are 3.1% higher than in Alicante
Rent Prices in Valencia are 18.4% higher than in Alicante
Restaurant Prices in Valencia are 1.3% higher than in Alicante
Groceries Prices in Valencia are 5.1% higher than in Alicante
Hope this helps! 😊
15:50 that’s messed up she didn’t include Euskara because of you move to Basque Country in Spain, Euskara ids mandatory.
My family is hoping to move to Spain for a year and enroll our kids (14 and 12) in public school. Is the NLV the only possibility? I have enough money in the bank, but I do intend to travel back to the US for work 9 days a month and I believe this would not be allowed with NLV. Would it be possible to get student visas for our kids and since they are minors their dad and I can come along as well. What are our options as a family?
I think NLV will be the best option as you will not be working in Spain. But please contact Marina and her team at Bureaucracy.es/everythingisboffo as they are the experts on this. Thank you for watching!
Hola! Another great view! This is a very helpful topic for me and my family. I have been wondering how my daughter can go to school in Spain since she is 20 yrs old. She took a gap year and now plans to go to university. She is pretty much dependent on us financially. Well, at least for now. You guys really nailed it. You asked not just about younger kids but those young adults who are still dependent on their parents. We can get this question out of our list :) I have a different question and it's about taxes. Do you guys pay taxes every month or yearly? For NLV, what kind of paperwork do you think is needed for taxes? I assume bank info? We are on our planning stage and trying to get as much information as possible. I know you can't answer much about taxes, but I think this is a good topic for your next video. Maybe you can invite her again :):) Maraming salamat po!
Hey thanks for watching and glad we were able to help answer your question. We are not tax experts by any means so unfortunately we cannot give any advice or info on that! Neither can Marina as that’s not part of their services. But best of luck to you!
@@EverythingIsBoffo It's ok. Thanks much! :)
When she says best time to move to spain with children in January or February, what happens to their school year from January till end of school year? Can they be with no school during that time or??
I’m not sure i I understand your question but I’m assuming you’re asking if children don’t need to go to school when moving to Spain? If that is your question, then you should know that it is not allowed. Children who move to Spain on a resident visa are required by law to attend school. In fact, Spanish law mandates compulsory education for children between the ages of six and 16. Hope this helps!
@Everything Is Boffo American schools don't let out until May or June typically. The question is do the children not go to school from January until August and miss half the school year? Or perhaps move to online classes if available? Missing half a year would potentially hold a child back a grade. It is a pretty big deal to just not have them do anything. They'd be truant in the US and that's an illegal status. You can be arrested if you don't have your kids go to school. It's concerning
@@rebeccaturner8340 Moving in Jan/Feb would be most applicable for parents whose kids are not school age yet, for example 3 years old. Of course if they need to finish school then the recommendation is to move right after they finish the year, or as soon as possible.
hello dear . can i apply for nlv visa , just with 60-70k euros saving bank account? and not having any passive incomes?
Depends on how many people are applying. Passive income is not a requirement for this visa as you are not allowed to engage in any work or business activities in Spain. As of 2021, the minimum amount required is €27,115.20 for the main applicant and an additional €6,778.80 for each dependent.
@@EverythingIsBoffo I am single and I will apply for this visa for myself.
I was just confused that it was written on many websites that a monthly passive income of 2400 euros is required and it is not possible to apply just by having a saving bank account.
I'm glad you mentioned something else.
I will apply for this visa soon.
thanks for you support 🙏
@@mjy7899 best of luck! We’d highly suggest consulting a professional as well. Here's our custom link with Bureaucracy.ES to book your FREE 30-minute consultation and to get a discount from their services: www.bureaucracy.es/everythingisboffo
Do you know of someone who can help with getting citizenship by Spanish descent ?
Hi! Please contact Marina at Bureaucracy.es/everythingisboffo. She has the contact that you need. ☺️
Why would you delete such an informative comment?
Wow!
Ok. Before this comment gets deleted. Please note, that it’s not expensive to get a visa and you don’t have to pay for a lot of these services that they’re driving traffic to, unless of course you don’t mind it. They have their place.
There are free resources online and you can do them all yourself inexpensively.
There are several subreddit groups as well.
In regards to homeschool…
While homeschooling in Spain is permitted, it is far from simple. The law states that all children must be in school between the ages of 6 and 16. In fact, parents whose children do not attend school can face fines from the Ministry for Education. Homeschooling can also be a contentious subject in Spain. That said, determined parents can seek more information from the Association for Free Education (Asociación por la libre educación - ALE).
I’ve lived in several countries (Malaysia, Thailand, Mexico, to name a few) and I’ve been around entrepreneurial expats for well over 7 years. Be mindful, a lot of research can be done on your own. You don’t have to invest so much money.
Hey am planning to move to Spain can u guide me

you can also homeschool your children in Spain.
It’s literally stated in the video that it is not possible
It's illegal to homeschool in Spain
Ewe she's says "enroll the kid" gross representation of Spain with that language..no
English is obviously not her first language, cut her some slack.
What is wrong with saying that? I'm Australian. It's pretty normal language to say that.
Esta señora no tiene ni idea de lo que es una escuela concertada, la mayoría ya nada tiene que ver con la religión, como toda la información sea como esa no os fieis de esta es inexacta y confusa
