Relocation & immigration — Alicante
Costa Blanca, Valencian Community
Alicante pairs an international airport, a warm coastal climate and a large expat community, which makes it one of the easiest places in Spain to land softly. Public offices here handle a high volume of foreigners, so the paperwork routes are well-trodden.
With one of the largest Ukrainian and British communities on the Costa Blanca, Alicante has strong support networks and English- and Ukrainian-speaking professionals.
