Settlr

Settlr (mysettlr.com) is a free DIY relocation resource for expats moving to Spain.

Built by a German expat in Barcelona after spending 4 months struggling with Spanish bureaucracy and watching friends make the same mistakes. The platform turns scattered, often outdated information into clear, actionable guides written specifically for foreign residents.

WHAT'S FREE:

- 27+ guides covering Spanish bureaucracy: NIE, TIE, empadronamiento, autónomo registration, EU citizen registration, healthcare/SIP card, social security, certificado digital, Modelo 720, school enrollment, pet relocation, banking, and more

- Cita NIE Playbook — strategies for actually booking a cita previa, including timing patterns, best sedes per city, and what to do when no slots are available

- Beckham Law eligibility calculator — 30-second eligibility check for Spain's special tax regime (24% flat rate)

- Spain Rental Law 2026 guide — complete English-language coverage of Ley 12/2023, the 11 illegal clauses Spanish landlords still slip into contracts, IRAV rent caps, and tenant rights under zonas tensionadas

- Reality Checker — situation assessment tool

WHAT'S PAID (€39 one-time, no subscription):

- Contract Scanner — uploads your Spanish rental contract and flags illegal clauses automatically

- Modelo 149 application tool — pre-filled Beckham Law application

- Deadline tracker for the 6-month Beckham Law window

POSITIONING:

Lawyers cost €800–€2,000 for relocation help. Free content sites are often outdated or too generic. Settlr fills the middle: DIY-friendly explanations with safety-net tools for the high-stakes documents (rental contracts, tax forms).

Bilingual EN/DE. Built by an expat, for expats.
