Retired at 63… and Moved to Spain in 6 Months: Tim Rowe’s Digital Nomad Visa Story

What if moving abroad didn’t cost $15,000… and you could actually enjoy the process?

Today I sit down with Tim Rowe — a 63-year-old entrepreneur from Virginia who made the move to Málaga, Spain on a Digital Nomad Visa in under 6 months after joining the Move Overseas Now Academy.

But here’s the twist: Tim didn’t rely on expensive “white glove” relocation services. Instead, he followed a DIY (but guided) approach — saving between $10,000 and $15,000 in the process.

We dive into:

- How Tim navigated the Digital Nomad Visa step-by-step

- The exact documentation process (and how to simplify it)

- Why taking one step at a time (one document per week) made everything manageable

- How to avoid overspending on lawyers and relocation agencies

- Cultural adjustments, language barriers, and real life in Southern Spain

- What living in Málaga & Torremolinos is actually like

We also go behind the scenes and talk about how Tim’s experience is helping shape the future of the Move Overseas Now Academy — including new ideas like automated checklists and smarter systems to make moving abroad even easier.

If you’ve been overwhelmed by the process, worried about the cost, or thinking “I don’t know where to start”… this episode will show you a simpler, smarter way.

Because moving abroad doesn’t have to be complicated — or expensive.
