Reasons to relocate to Malaga
With easy access by road, train and sea, Malaga is well connected to other parts of Spain and is a short flight from the UK. Malaga airport, is situated 8 miles from the city center. The public transport service is great value for money, with air-conditioned buses and trains running regularly throughout the province. In the town center, bike rental is reasonably priced to take advantage of the fantastic and far reaching cycle network.
Property prices have remained stable in Malaga avoiding large reductions seen elsewhere in the country. When looking to rent or purchase it may be advisable to do so outside of the busy summer months when prices can rise due to demand. British expats also buy and rent property in the surrounding Malaga province where property can be picked up cheaper and village life allows a quieter lifestyle with the option of popping in to town for the huge selection of museums, art galleries, great bars and restaurants on offer.
There are plenty of Schools to choose from in Malaga. Some of these are based on the British System but they are not regulated by OFSTED. They are regulated by the Junta de Andalucía Consejería de Educación (Junta de Andalucía Education Department). If you would rather send your children to one of the state Schools in Malaga than a private or international school, it would be worth looking at the Junta de Andalucía’s website. This website provides a concise list of state schools in Malaga and all provinces of Andalucía and although in Spanish it is easy to navigate.
British citizens do not require visas to permanently move to Spain. However, within three months of arriving, you should acquire a foreign identity number known as Número de Identidad de Extranjero or NIE, as well as a Tarjeta de Residencia or residency card. You will also need to hold a valid British passport for entry to and exit from Spain.
Non-residents will pay tax on any income arising in Spain; this includes bank interest, business dividend, property income or wages. Income tax rates are similar to the UK’s and range between 24-45%. Further details can be found at expatica.com. You will also continue to receive your UK state pension providing you inform the DWP before your move.
