Excelente abogada Camila. Cada vez que iba a hablar con ella tenía todo preparado de antemano. Además, en el caso particular de mi trámite, gestionó trabajar directamente con la empresa, lo que ayudó a que todo fluyera mejor, además de aconsejarme durante todo el proceso y como ir avanzando paso a paso. Me quedo muy a gusto y muy agradecido con ella.

Frequently asked questions about Immigration to Spain

The questions almost everyone asks us before taking the first step.

Do I need a visa to move to Spain?

It depends on your nationality and on how long you plan to stay.

  • EU, EEA or Swiss citizens don't need a visa. If you stay longer than 3 months, you just have to get your EU registration certificate.
  • Everyone else who wants to live in Spain will generally need a long-stay visa, applied for at the Spanish consulate in your country before you travel. That's the case for the non-lucrative visa or the student visa, for example.

For short trips of up to 90 days, some nationalities can enter without a visa and others can't. Check the list of countries that need a visa to enter Spain.

Which Spanish residence permit is right for me?

It mainly depends on what you want to do in Spain and how you'll support yourself. As a rough guide:

  • Living off your savings without working: non-lucrative visa.
  • Working remotely for companies abroad: digital nomad visa.
  • A Spanish company wants to hire you: work permit.
  • Coming to study: student visa.
  • Joining your family: family reunification or the EU family member card.
  • Already living in Spain without papers: arraigo.

You'll find every option organised by situation in "Which immigration procedure do you need?". If your case doesn't fit neatly into one box, that's exactly what the consultation is for.

Can an immigration lawyer submit my application for me?

Yes, for applications filed in Spain. You sign an authorisation and we submit your application online on your behalf. You won't need a digital certificate or an appointment, and we receive the notifications, so if the authorities ask for anything else, we're on it straight away.

Visas applied for at a Spanish consulate abroad work a bit differently: in most cases you'll have to hand in the application in person. We prepare the whole file with you beforehand so it's complete and correct when you go.

Can your immigration lawyers help me if I am outside Spain?

Absolutely. Many of our clients start the process from their home country. We do the consultation online, prepare your documents and guide you through the consulate appointment, whether it's for a non-lucrative visa, a student visa or family reunification.

We work in English, Spanish and French, and you don't need to come to Barcelona at any point unless you want to.

How much does an immigration lawyer in Spain cost?

It really depends on the procedure: a simple renewal doesn't cost the same as an arraigo with complicated paperwork or a court appeal.

With us, the first step is a €75 consultation with a lawyer. We review your case, tell you which route suits you and give you the price before we start. If you decide to go ahead with us, we deduct those €75 from the final fee.

Keep in mind that, besides our fees, most procedures have official government fees paid directly to the Spanish authorities.
