Gabriella · your case managerYour file is complete. I'll message you the moment the UGE replies.
Nobody writes to us because Spain is pretty. They write because something at home stopped fitting, and the paperwork is the only thing standing in the way.
“One line in my bank letter nearly sank my visa.”We check every document against the current checklist before anything is filed.
“My bank needed an NIE, my NIE needed an address, my address needed a bank.”We walk you through the order that breaks the loop.
“I got approved. Then I had no idea what came next.”Our guidance keeps going after approval: residency card, town hall, bank and, for freelancers, the autónomo steps.
Everything in your visa fee
Most visa services stop at approval. We don't.
Approval is roughly halfway. After it come the residency card, the town hall, the bank, the digital certificate and, for freelancers, the tax and Social Security registrations. Here's exactly what we do at every stage.
Stage 1
Before you apply
- Free eligibility check, plus Carlos, our AI assistant, any time of day
- A personalised document checklist for your visa and your route
- Every document audited against current UGE and consulate requirements
- Sworn translations included, up to €150 per adult on the Digital Nomad Visa
- Apostilles and health insurance through vetted partners, at client rates
Stage 2
Getting approved
- We file UGE applications for you, with the UGE fee included where applicable
- Consulate route: a ready-to-present booklet, digital and physical
- Answers to any request for more documents, handled by your case manager
- We track rule changes at the UGE and adjust your file to match
- Every document, message and milestone in your dashboard and app
Stage 3 · The part nobody advertises
After approval
- TIE residency card: appointment, form and fee guidance
- Empadronamiento (town hall registration) guidance
- Spanish bank account guidance
- Digital certificate (FNMT) and public health card guidance
- Autónomo and Social Security guidance for freelancers
Honest note: fingerprints and a few appointments have to be attended by you, in person. We tell you exactly what to bring and when.

New · DNV Work-Ready
Freelancer? Your visa file says you'll register as autónomo. We make sure it happens.
Self-employed applicants commit to registering with Spanish Social Security after approval and before they start working here. Register without requesting the reduced Tarifa Plana rate and you can't add it afterwards. Work-Ready puts the visa and the registration in one plan.

How Work-Ready runs
- 1We prepare and file your visa.The standard Digital Nomad Visa service, €1,399 per adult.
- 2Free call with our tax partner.While the UGE reviews your file, Tax Help Spain checks your activity and confirms the €150 + IVA registration fee. Nothing to pay yet.
- 3Approved? Registration starts.They file your Hacienda (Modelo 036) and Social Security registrations, Tarifa Plana included. You pay their fee only once approved.
- 4Invoice legally from Spain.Your first-year tax calendar in the dashboard. Quarterly filings optional with Tax Help Spain's monthly service (€80 + IVA).
Registrations are filed by Tax Help Spain, an independent tax advisory firm. Remote employees (W-2 or payroll) don't register as autónomo: the standard visa is the right fit.

How it works
Six steps. You'll always know which one you're on.
- Free eligibility checkCreate a free account or ask Carlos. No card needed.
- Documents & auditUpload to your dashboard. Your case manager checks each one.
- Sworn translationsOrdered for you, included on most visas (up to €150 per adult on the DNV).
- SubmissionWe file with the UGE, or hand you a ready consulate booklet.
- DecisionWe answer any request for documents and tell you the day it lands.
- Settling inTIE, padrón, bank account and digital certificate, step by step.
The honest version
What we can't promise, and what we do instead.
We can't speed up the government.Processing time and the decision belong to the UGE or the consulate. We make sure your file is never the reason it's slow.
You'll still have to show up.Biometrics and TIE fingerprints are in person. We tell you what to bring, so you only go once.
Freelancers usually can't use the Beckham Law.The 24% flat rate is mainly for employees of foreign companies. We tell you which applies to you before you move.
Approval isn't the finish line.Your first months come with their own paperwork. That's why our guidance keeps going after the visa.
Add-ons for the whole move

Straight answers
What exactly does my visa fee include?
Eligibility review, a personalised checklist, a full document audit, sworn translations on most visas, the UGE fee on the UGE route, submission or a ready-to-present consulate booklet, answers to any request for documents, a named case manager, dashboard tracking, and step-by-step guidance after approval for the TIE, padrón, bank account, digital certificate and health card.
When do I pay?
In two or three instalments, never all upfront. The first when you start, the next while we prepare your file, and the last only once your visa is approved. Each visa's exact split is on its price card. If your visa isn't approved, you don't make the last payment.
Do you help after my visa is approved?
Yes. This is where most services stop. We guide you through the TIE fingerprint appointment, empadronamiento, opening a Spanish bank account, your digital certificate and your health card. Fingerprints and some appointments must be attended in person; we tell you exactly what to bring.
I freelance. Do I need to register as autónomo?
Usually, yes. Self-employed Digital Nomad Visa holders commit to registering with Spanish Social Security after approval and before working here. We guide you through the steps and can connect you with a tax advisor. Remote employees on payroll do not register as autónomo.
What is not included?
Consular fees on the consulate route, translations beyond your visa's allowance, apostilles, background checks, health insurance, the TIE card fee and any partner service you choose. We list every one of these before you pay.
Can my family come with me?
Yes. A spouse or partner applies as an adult and each child has a separate, lower fee, listed with every visa. Family members get their own residence permits; work rights depend on the visa type, and we confirm yours before you apply.
