SPAINLAWYER — International Lawyers in Spain
Cluster

Immigration & residency lawyers in Spain

We advise international clients on the legal route that actually fits their situation — not the one that is easiest to file. That means assessing eligibility, timing, tax exposure and family members before any application is submitted.

Who this is for

  • Professionals relocating with or without an employer
  • Investors and entrepreneurs
  • Families moving together
  • Remote workers and digital nomads
  • Clients renewing, changing or appealing a permit

Route selection first

We compare the permits you qualify for and the ones you will qualify for later, so your first permit does not block your path to long-term residence or citizenship.

Documentary strategy

Legalisation, apostilles, sworn translations and proof of means are where most applications fail. We map the full evidence file before filing.

Family included

Spouses, partners, children and dependent relatives are planned into the application from day one rather than added as an afterthought.

After the approval

TIE appointments, registrations, renewals and the transition to long-term residence or nationality are handled by the same team.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be in Spain to start the process?
It depends on the route. Some permits are filed from your country of residence through a consulate, others must be filed in Spain. We confirm which applies before you make travel or lease commitments.
How long does an application take?
Timeframes vary by permit type and by the office handling the file. We give you a realistic range at the outset and tell you when a deadline is legally binding on the administration and when it is indicative.
Can you take over a case that was refused?
Yes. We review the refusal, the file that was submitted and the deadlines available, and advise whether an administrative appeal, a judicial appeal or a new application is the stronger option.
