Barcelona Expat Community for Barcelona Expats

Welcome to the Expatriates Barcelona Community!

¡Hola! and welcome to our community for Barcelona expats! Our private network helps you to settle in easily when moving to or living abroad in Barcelona: Get to know like-minded expatriates in Barcelona in a casual way, find reliable information and tips about expat life in Spain and meet fellow expats from Barcelona’s international community at our first-class InterNations events.

Curious to explore other communities in Western Europe, e.g. our chapter for Hong Kong Expat? Or you might think of stopping by at our Expats Shanghai community on your next weekend trip.

Make the most of your Barcelona Expat Life

The "City Of Counts" offers an exciting intercultural experience for expats, starting with cultural highlights, like Parc Güell, a spectacular modernismo-style park with a great panorama of the whole city,, the folkloristic festivities on the occasion of Spain’s Día de la Hispanidad, up to getting a taste of traditional paella. The InterNations community helps you as an Barcelona expat to enjoy your expat stay in Spain to the fullest. Our members have already come across many of the questions you’ll have when starting your expatriate life in Barcelona and kindly offer you their assistance, from ʺIn which cases do I need a so-called "Residencia" to stay for longer than half a year?ʺ up to ʺWill I be able to make a living as an EFL teacher in a Spanish metropolis?ʺ.
