Irina es muy profesional!!

Irina has been absolutely outstanding from start to finish. She worked incredibly hard to secure both my NIE and TIE, guiding me through every step of the process and taking all the stress out of the Spanish bureaucracy. She also found an excellent apartment for me that perfectly fits my needs and budget. Her professionalism, clear communication, and attention to detail made relocating to Spain so much easier. I would highly recommend her to anyone planning to move to Spain or needing help with residency paperwork and housing

What should I say, absolutely top notch service, very professional and friendly!
We came to Spain last August 2024 and did all our paperwork with Irina, everything went smoothly. She also recommended an accountant/tax advisor whom I still work with today.
My partner and I are planning to get married, and once again we asked her for guidance, and she didn’t let us down.
I would definitely recommend working with her.
Thank you for everything (:

Look no further—Irina is your go-to relocation expert for Spain!
If you're moving to Spain and want the process to be smooth, stress-free, and expertly handled from start to finish, Irina Saltmarsh is the person you need. Her professionalism, warmth, and deep knowledge of Spanish bureaucracy make her an absolute gem.

We recently relocated from the UK to Spain, and Irina made what could have been a daunting process feel effortless. From the very beginning, she took charge of all our immigration paperwork, ensuring every detail was covered. She booked all the necessary appointments, provided us with a clear and comprehensive checklist of documents, and even accompanied us to each appointment to make sure everything went smoothly.

Irina’s communication is outstanding—she kept us informed at every stage, especially during the waiting periods, and was always available via WhatsApp. Her responsiveness, approachability, and expertise created a sense of calm and confidence throughout the entire journey.

What truly sets Irina apart is her dedication. Even after we had made the final payment, she continued to respond promptly to any follow-up questions we had. That level of ongoing support is rare and speaks volumes about her commitment to her clients.

She took the stress out of navigating Spanish bureaucracy and made us feel supported every step of the way. Her fees are very reasonable, especially considering the high level of service and peace of mind she provides.

We would 100% recommend Irina’s services to anyone considering a move to Spain. She’s not just a relocation consultant—she’s a lifeline for expats. Thank you so much, Irina!

When we moved from the US to Málaga, Irina’s assistance was absolutely priceless. She helped us obtain our NEI numbers, register us on the local Padrón, and obtain our national residency cards. She also reviewed the proposed lease to our apartment and suggested an amendment to protect our rights. With her help, our move went more smoothly than we ever could have hoped. We recommend her to anyone making a similar move.

Irina has been nothing short of wonderful. She goes above and beyond to ensure that everything is perfect and in correct order. My family and I are in Spain on a NLV and she provided all paperwork, got us a great policy at an affordable price, and checks in without hesitation. Everyone should use Irina.

I had an excellent experience working with Irina for my recent move to Málaga. She was incredibly professional and efficient in helping me navigate the local bureaucracy, from opening a bank account to submitting the white NIE. She also went above and beyond in coordinating house viewings for me, checking the properties remotely and making sure everything was in order before I even arrived. She also helped to review the rental contract , negotiate with the landlord and see it through till closure.

Overall, she was punctual, precise, and very diligent in her work. The only minor point was that her payment structure involved incremental deposits, which took a little getting used to, but it wasn’t a major issue just something to be aware of. In the end, the quality of her service and her attention to detail were fantastic. I’d definitely recommend her services to anyone needing similar assistance in Spain.

My husband received his residency today 🎉 Irina has been an absolute legend and we can't recommend her enough. The Spanish system is complicated and long winded and she took all the stress out of the process. Irina was with us every step of the way with help, advise and support. She truly is someone who goes above and beyond.... Everything was broken down into simple, easy steps to reach our goal. It has been a long road but we couldn't have done it without her. Thank you Irina 😊

I am so thankful we hired Irina to help us with our search for a rental in Málaga! She reached out to listings on our behalf as well as told us about listings that hadn't gotten to the market yet. She was incredibly helpful in going over our rental contract to make sure we were protected. I don't think we would have been able to get our perfect rental without her!

Irina has been invaluable to our family. She helped us with our initial TIEs and also with our 2/3 year renewals. We just picked up our new TIEs this morning. Irina made the entire process so much easier and helped relieve so much stress. We will be using Irina again for our year 4/5 renewals. I can’t recommend using Irina enough!! Thank you for everything Irina!!!

Highly recommend Irina!

My wife and I are moving to Madrid from the United States with our three children. Irina did a fantastic job in helping us secure the right private health insurance for our family. She was knowledgeable, responsive, and patient—walking us through every step and answering all of our questions (in English).

If you’re relocating to Spain and need help with health insurance, I highly recommend working with her!

I have worked with several legal firms throughout my professional career and Irina at Málaga Expat has been top notch assisting me personally securing my Spanish residency.

Irina has been well organized, timely, and extremely informative on the entire process to secure residency in Spain. In addition, once a timeline was established, Irina was been wonderful mitigating the risks of paperwork delay during one's crusade through Spanish bureaucracy. And, for example, Irina was available to quickly step in and assist resolving an unexpected roadblock when the Spanish Consulate requested unanticipated information after official submission of my residency packet.

Once Spanish residency was granted, Irina continued to be available for the final steps of my residency process by attending required meetings alongside me with the local Spanish authorities.

I highly recommend acquiring Irina's services; her fees are very fair and coupling her services with her knowledge and language skills, one should not moved forward attempting to secure Spanish residency without Irina as your copilot.

Thanks again, Irina...greatly appreciate all of your assistance and time! And, I look forward to continuing to work together on next steps!

Irina helped us with our residency and padron. She was really helpful and friendly and everything went very smooth. I would highly recommend Irina. Reasonable price and fast/good service! :)

Irina recently helped us with our Visa’s from the US to Malaga. She was excellent at keeping us on track and making sure we had all the documents and appointments we needed. Her directions are clear and thorough. She accompanied us to our appointments and knew the small things that would be an issue so she was able to address them (like the size of our picture :) ) Thank you so much for all your help!

Thanks to Irina, I was able to get the required documents and secure an apartment in record time. Without her support and advice, I couldn’t have done it so quickly or with so little stress!

The level of service offered by Málaga Expat is truly a game changer. I can’t recommend it enough to anyone planning to move to Málaga. It takes away so much stress and helps you reach your goal fast.

I couldn’t have hoped for a better experience!

Absolutely recommend Malaga Expats and Irina in particular. She is a wonderful professional—thorough, detail-oriented, and highly efficient. Her command of both English and Spanish is impressive, and she navigates Spanish bureaucracy with speed, clarity, and confidence. Irina’s fee structure and business model are fair and fully transparent, which is rare and refreshing. I can recommend her services and packages without hesitation. An invaluable support for anyone settling in Malaga.

Irina made the process of getting our NIE numbers for my husband and myself so smooth and hassle free. She made the appointment at the police headquarters (in itself extremely difficult to get) filled out all the paperwork and met us there and guided us through the process on the day. She is extremely helpful and knowledgeable. 5 stars!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Irina makes figuring out the ins and outs of Spanish bureaucracy much less painful. Highly recommended if you want to save time, money and confusion with health insurance and residency paperwork such as TIE, padron, etc.

If you're ready for a new chapter in your life and are looking for professional, trustworthy and kind support we highly recommend Irina!
Moving as a family to a new country and town without knowing anyone there was a huge step for us. Irina made the entire process seamless and stress-free. From the very first consultation, Irina was incredibly professional, attentive, and genuinely cared about every detail.

She handled everything — from paperwork to finding a lovely place to live. Along the way she was very understanding about our whole situation and she provided great guidance. Her expertise and efficiency gave us complete peace of mind, and we felt supported every step of the way.

If you're looking for a relocation specialist who is reliable, knowledgeable, and truly committed to making your move easy and enjoyable, Irina is the one. Thank you so much for helping us start this exciting new chapter in Malaga!
