Have you ever received something official through the post and had no idea what it is or what to do about it? Ever received a phone call and wondered if it was important or just telesales? Ever wished you could just ask a question about life in Spain but unsure who to turn to and ask? Things that would be easy in the UK or in English can be unnerving in Spain and in Spanish.

Making life in Spain a little clearer

At the Doctors
Nobody wants to take ill but sometimes a trip to the local doctors becomes a must. Often, this can be followed by blood tests, specialists appointments, trips to different medical centres, hospitals… It can be daunting.
By coming with you to see the doctor and interpreting, explaining the process to you as it unfolds and taking care of your follow up appointments, I can help you to focus on getting well and take some of the stress from the process.
If you do not currently have access to the Spanish National Health system and would like to be able to, please email info@johollingworth.com to see if I can help you attain your SIP card.
*Price: 25€ per appointment
Never-Ending Paperwork
It seems at times that Rome was built in a day and Spain was built on a mountain of paperwork. Everywhere you turn there is a form to be presented, a letter to reply to or a document to update. Not only that, the rules seem to change at the drop of a hat. Residencias, NIE´s, padróns, SUMA bills, utilities… the list goes on.
I can take a weight from you by visiting offices on your behalf, writing letters and emails, making phone calls and helping you navigate your way to a solution.
*Price: 25€ / hour or administrative process
*Alicante: 70€ / visit
