01

Getting registered

Start with the national residency route, then complete the padrón/alta for the municipality where you actually live. Padrón is not a TIE, NIE or EU registration.

Palma is separate from Calvià and Marratxí. Use the municipal alta procedure; OAC appointments do not replace NIE/TIE appointments. Compare winter/summer housing availability.

02

Housing & costs

Establish whether the agreement is habitual-home or seasonal, who is authorised to let it and what every payment represents. Use Homes & costs for fianza, guarantees, rent in advance and agency mechanics.

View at the hours you will live there. Check cooling/heating, damp, noise, lift, internet, transport and the written inventory.

03

Where to look

Use these as places to investigate, not promises about price, safety or a particular home. Compare the actual address at the times you will use it.

Santa Catalina

Compare the exact street, building, daily services, noise and journey; the neighborhood name is not a guarantee.

Pere Garau & Foners

Compare the exact street, building, daily services, noise and journey; the neighborhood name is not a guarantee.

Portixol

Compare the exact street, building, daily services, noise and journey; the neighborhood name is not a guarantee.

Son Rapinya

Compare the exact street, building, daily services, noise and journey; the neighborhood name is not a guarantee.

04

Getting around

Palma is separate from Calvià and Marratxí. Use the municipal alta procedure; OAC appointments do not replace NIE/TIE appointments. Compare winter/summer housing availability.

Map a normal morning and late return before choosing the address. Include the final walk and the fare product that covers each operator.

05

Healthcare

After establishing healthcare entitlement, use the responsible regional service and assigned primary-care centre. The health card is separate from padrón and immigration documents.

06

Schools & settling in

School admission is regional and depends on stage, year and address. Check ordinary and late-admission procedures, teaching languages, transport and meals before signing.
