Living in Estepona: what to know about your procedures

Estepona lies at the western end of the province of Málaga, and its Immigration Office is the one in Málaga. It is one of the Costa del Sol towns furthest from the capital: the round trip takes up most of the day. The padrón (municipal registration) is done at Estepona town hall; the rest of your file can be prepared online, so you only travel for what is essential.

Estepona attracts retirees and families from other European countries and the United Kingdom, as well as people working in tourism and agriculture. So non-lucrative residence, the EU citizen registration certificate, renewals, and residence and work permits as an employee come up again and again.

Frequently asked questions about immigration in Estepona

See all questions
I live in Estepona. How many times will I have to go to Málaga?
As few as possible. With “We file it for you”, if the procedure can be filed online, the application is registered over the internet. With “Do it yourself” you go once to file, by appointment, at the Immigration Office of Málaga. Fingerprinting for the card is separate: it is done in person at the National Police, by appointment, and the confirmation tells you where.
I want to retire in Estepona and I am not from the European Union. Where do I start?
The usual route is non-lucrative residence. The initial visa is not requested in Spain: you apply at the Spanish consulate in the country where you live, before coming, proving financial means and health insurance, among other requirements. Once in Estepona you register on the padrón, apply for the card and, when the time comes, renew at the Immigration Office of Málaga. We support you with the part done in Spain.
