What the video covers

  1. Getting your NIE

    The NIE is the first document any foreigner needs to carry out economic procedures in Spain. We show you how to apply, which documents to prepare and realistic timelines in the Canary Islands.

  2. Padron (town hall registration)

    The padron certifies that you live in a specific municipality. It is essential for public healthcare, schooling and many tax procedures. We walk through the steps at your local Ayuntamiento.

  3. Modelo 210 — Non-residents

    If you own a property in the Canary Islands but are not a Spanish tax resident, you must file modelo 210 with the tax authority. We explain when it applies, the deadlines and how GestiSure automates the calculation and submission.

  4. IRPF — Tax residents

    As a tax resident in the Canary Islands you benefit from the special Economic and Fiscal Regime (REF), including IGIC instead of VAT and regional deductions. We cover the essentials for preparing your annual return.

  5. Buying a property

    Buying real estate as a foreigner involves several legal and tax steps: ITP/IGIC, notary, land registry, plusvalia. We show how GestiSure coordinates all parties involved.
