Polish citizens moving to Spain
6 verified visa pathways — but as an EU citizen, you don't need any of them. Read about freedom of movement to Spain below.
You don't need a visa.
As a Polish citizen, you have full freedom of movement to Spain under EU treaty rights (Directive 2004/38/EC). You can move whenever you like, work from day one, and your family members are also eligible.
The only steps: register with the local town hall (gemeente / padrón / Anmeldung) within the first weeks of arrival, get a local tax/social-security number, and open a bank account. Permanent residency in 5 years; citizenship eligible after 10 years.
