Stay ahead with the latest Spain insights and updates

Spain continues to be one of the most appealing destinations for Canadians dreaming of a Mediterranean lifestyle — with its mild winters, world-class healthcare, welcoming culture, and affordable living compared to most Canadian cities.

But before you can sip Rioja in your new apartment in Marbella or walk the beaches of Alicante, there’s one essential step: getting the right visa.

For UK citizens considering a move to Spain, healthcare is always a top concern. The UK’s NHS is free at the point of use, while Spain offers both a universal public system and an affordable private sector. Understanding the key differences in access, costs, speed—and the role of the S1 form for pensioners—is essential if you’re planning relocation, retirement, or buying property in Spain.

At Landcross Partners, we don’t just help you find your home—we ensure your healthcare and visa planning are seamless and stress-free.

If you’re dreaming of swapping long commutes and grey skies for a Mediterranean lifestyle, you’re not alone. With remote work now the norm for millions of professionals, Spain has introduced an exciting pathway for non-EU citizens to legally live and work remotely from one of Europe’s most attractive destinations: the Digital Nomad Visa.

Whether you're a software developer in New York, a freelance designer in London, or a tech entrepreneur in Cape Town, Spain's Digital Nomad Visa opens the door.

Spain has long been a dream destination for individuals looking to enjoy a higher quality of life, better weather, rich culture, and a lower cost of living. Whether you're a retiree, digital nomad with offshore income, or simply planning a sabbatical in the Mediterranean, the Non-Lucrative Visa (NLV) could be your gateway to long-term legal residency in Spain.

At Landcross Partners, we help non-EU citizens—particularly from the U.S., Canada and U.K.—navigate every step of the visa, relocation, and property purchase journey.

If you're planning to sell your home, investment property, land, or any other asset in Spain, one of the most critical taxes you'll face is capital gains tax (CGT).

Capital gains tax applies to the profit you make when selling an asset. The profit is the difference between your original purchase price (plus associated costs) and the price you ultimately sell it for. And yes, in Spain this tax hits both residents and non-residents—though the rates and exemptions vary significantly.

Since the United Kingdom officially left the European Union, many UK citizens have asked: “Is there a special treaty between Spain and the UK for travel or residency?” The answer is no special bilateral treaty exists giving UK nationals unique entry rights into Spain. But there is a clear set of rules in place, thanks to EU regulations and the UK-EU Withdrawal Agreement.
