Your move to Spain, planned step by step

The people you will talk to

Meet the whole team

We warn you about risks before you pay

Four things that often block a file. We check them with you before you pay.

Weak health insurance

The consulates ask for health insurance with no deductible, copayment or coverage limit. Check your policy against your consulate's list before you buy it.

Gaps in presence, income or paperwork

Each route has its own income rule: for example 200% of the monthly minimum wage for the digital nomad visa and 400% of IPREM for the non-lucrative visa.

Missing the timing

Renewals have windows. A non-lucrative renewal is filed in the 2 months before expiry or up to 3 months after, and filing in time keeps the old permit valid.

A refusal on formal grounds

On CORE and FULL, if your application is refused on formal or procedural grounds, we prepare and resubmit it free of charge.
