Irish Buyer's Guide to Property in Spain

Ireland and the Costa Blanca have a long and special connection — with established Irish communities in areas like Orihuela Costa, Torrevieja, and Benidorm.

As EU citizens, Irish buyers enjoy full freedom to purchase, live, and work in Spain without visa requirements.

Key considerations for Irish buyers include: understanding Revenue Commissioners obligations for foreign property (you must declare Spanish property to Irish Revenue), the Ireland-Spain double taxation agreement, Capital Acquisitions Tax (CAT) implications for inheritance, and the practical aspects of moving funds from Ireland.

Many Irish buyers use their Credit Union savings or arrange bridging finance through Irish banks.

Direct flights from Dublin, Cork, Shannon, and Belfast to Alicante make the Costa Blanca highly accessible.
