Who We Are

Helping ex-pats in and around Malaga for over 15 years.

Simple English Advice was started by Christina & Delroy, a married couple who are both British expats and understand the frustration of dealing with Spanish bureaucracy and even more so in Malaga. Our intention was to help people in a similar boat to ourselves navigate their way through the ordeal of settling in Costa del Sol. We recently won the SME News Award for Best Global Relocation Support Services Experts 2022.

We have been living in Costa del Sol for 25 years and for the past 15 years have helped many people through stressful tasks such as NIE/TIE/Residency, social security matters, car driving licence exchanges, car ownership transfers, importing a car into Malaga. Also, the remote worker visa, doctors, translations, property lawyer services etc.

Being bilingual means we can help you with most situations you will face in your relocation to Malaga, Benalmadena, Torremolinos, Marbella, Estepona, Mijas or surrounding areas or even if you’ve been here for years and are stressed out with the Brexit situation.

I had spent ages trying to work out what I needed to do to cancel my Spanish car registration once I had moved to France. Two emails and a few days later it was all done for me with a minimum of hassle. I was delighted. Great service, highly recommended.

Why Choose SE Advice?

Bureaucracy in Spain can be a nightmare with laws and regulations changing constantly. We take the stress out of those procedures for you in a simple, efficient way.

Friendly

As an expat married couple, we are down to earth & approachable as we know what it's like to struggle with the bureaucracy in Andalucía.

Trustworthy

We pride ourselves on being honest & trustworthy and only working with other people and agencies who have earned our trust over the years.

Affordable

We always strive to satisfy our clients needs, by offering the best possible help at the lowest cost, going out of our way to achieve this.

Spanish Red Tape

Navigating the Spanish bureaucratic system can prove to be an extremely trying task, often causing much distress and anxiety. With so many procedures and regulations to adhere to, such as changing car ownership, banking and social security, it can be all too easy to become overwhelmed by the sheer volume of red tape.
However, there is a solution for those who are feeling frustrated and lost. Our expert team is dedicated to providing helpful assistance every step of the way in dealing with these everyday processes, in order to take away as much of the stress as possible.

It’s not uncommon to find conflicting information when trying to research specific inquiries, for example: “How much does it cost to transfer ownership of a vehicle?“, “How can I import a car into Malaga?” or, ‘Is it possible for UK citizens to get residency in Spain now?’ It can be immensely frustrating as even different departments or representatives within the same department can offer conflicting information. We’re here to ensure that you receive the most accurate and reliable knowledge for your specific situation.

 

This short video sums up Spanish red tape.

Kinda funny, but sadly true. Even Spanish people are frustrated by Spanish red tape. With over 25 years of experience dealing with Spanish bureacracy, Simple English Advice can help you to get things done quicker and easier. Don’t just take our word for it – read our 5-star reviews on Google or see what our customers say below.

Digital Nomad Visa

Digital nomad visas in Spain are now finally available. You can apply for them from your home country or get a fast-track application by applying in Spain. 

The Spanish remote worker visa is an excellent choice for non-EU nationals who want to live and work in Spain for up to five years. 

It is possible to include your spouse and children in the digital nomad visa application, allowing you to move to Spain with your whole family.

Another benefit is you can use this residency card to move freely throughout the EU. There are certain requirements that must be met which you can read about in our guide
