Your locality, address and access to a phone or email.

Check the options before starting

Steps

  1. Keep a working contact number and email for official appointments. Ask any mobile provider which identity documents and verification it requires before buying a plan.
  2. Check your local transport network and payment methods. If it uses SUBE, use the official city, card and registration pages rather than assuming coverage nationwide.
  3. Save your address/cross streets, local emergency number, insurer assistance and consular contact offline. The official emergency directory lists 911 and 100; check local ambulance coverage.
  4. Keep appointment receipts and follow-up dates in a private calendar. Never send identity documents or funds to someone solely because they claim to be an agent.
  5. Build a first-month budget from actual dated quotes: accommodation/deposit, utilities, transport, connectivity, coverage, document services, official fees and a contingency. Recheck currency and adjustment terms; this guide does not invent a living-cost figure.
  6. Test the connection at your work address and identify a backup connection or workspace. Prepare Spanish questions for appointments, contracts and service failures; ask for a written summary when something is unclear.

How to know you are done

You can receive appointment messages, travel locally and reach essential help, with a dated budget and private follow-up calendar.
