Download free ebook: What nobody tells you before moving to Spain

Did you move to Spain or are you thinking about doing so?

You probably heard the obvious things: the cost of life, what the weather is like, where to look for an apartment. But there are things no one warns you about. And then you discover them when it's too late, when you already have an expensive legal or tax problem.

This is the space of this ebook.

The problem (what is missing)

When you move from Argentina to Spain, it is natural to focus on administrative matters. But most Argentines make the same mistakes:

  • They do not understand what tax obligations they really have in Spain (is it mandatory to declare everything? When?)
  • They are unaware of the critical deadlines to complete procedures — and later they pay huge penalties
  • They lose money on inheritances, donations, or transfers because they don't know how to handle them between countries.
  • They find out late about visa restrictions, permits, or requirements whose deadlines have already passed.

It's not your fault. It's just that the information is scattered, in technical language, or simply nobody tells you.

What is the ebook

This manual was written by MBT Abogados, specialists in cases between Argentina and Spain.

Inside you will find 14 preventive law alerts —each with the same format: the typical case, what is normally not known, the deadline that is running (sometimes without you realizing it), what happens if you don't resolve it in time, and what you can do about it.

These are the topics it covers:

Declare assets

  • Form 720: your assets in Argentina must also be declared in Spain
  • Form 721: your cryptocurrencies abroad

The banks

  • How to withdraw your money from an account in Argentina from Spain
  • How to choose your bank well in Spain

Housing

  • Real estate scams when buying in Spain
  • Selling in Argentina and buying in Spain: the tax break lost by waiting

Anticipate and plan

  • How and when to make a power of attorney
  • Will and what law ends up governing your inheritance
  • What happens with your Argentine pension contributions

Taxes

  • Receiving a donation from Argentina: the 30 days you have to declare it
  • Inheritance from Argentina: the 6 months that are running even if you don't know it
  • Beckham Law: the 6-month window to pay less tax
  • Income that you continue to generate in Argentina or another country
  • How to cancel your tax residency with ARCA when moving

And finally, a quick tips section (simple things, like keeping your Argentine cell phone line or apostilling your degree) and a guide on where to start if it is too much information all at once.

    Who is it for

    This ebook is for you if:

    • You moved to Spain (recently or years ago)
    • You are thinking about moving but want to be prepared
    • You have assets, income, or family on both sides of the ocean
    • You want to avoid unpleasant surprises with taxes or paperwork
    • You prefer direct information without unnecessary legal jargon

    Why now

    Timing errors in these matters are costly. There are procedures with deadlines, decisions you cannot easily reverse, and penalties that pile up if you don't act at the right time.

    This ebook gives you the map: what to watch, when to watch it, and what to do when the time comes.
