Q: How do I get started?

The easiest way is to book a free 20-minute strategy call . We will talk through your situation, confirm your eligibility, and I will tell you exactly what your next step is. Alternatively, take the free eligibility test to see which visa fits you before we speak.

Question 1

What does Move Spain Visa do?

Accepted Answer

Move Spain Visa is an independent immigration advisory and document preparation service. I help non-EU nationals apply for Spanish visas — Digital Nomad, Non-Lucrative, and Student — as well as the TIE residency card. I prepare your documents, review your file, and guide you through every step. I am not a law firm, and I always work backed by a licensed immigration lawyer. You can also book a direct consultation with our partner immigration lawyer as a standalone service, whenever you want a legal opinion of your own. Separately, I am also ASISA's exclusive registered insurance agent, which lets me arrange your visa-compliant health insurance directly.

Question 2

Do I need a lawyer to apply for a Spanish visa?

Accepted Answer

No. A consultant can prepare and guide your entire application, and every case I handle is always backed by a licensed immigration lawyer. If you would like to speak with the lawyer directly, you can also book that as a standalone service at any time.

Question 3

How do I get started?

Accepted Answer

The easiest way is to book a free 20-minute strategy call. We will talk through your situation, confirm your eligibility, and I will tell you exactly what your next step is. Alternatively, take the free eligibility test to see which visa fits you before we speak.

Question 4

Can I access the client portal without buying a plan?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The free portal gives you access to the visa guide for your specific case, a document checklist, and a set of free practical guides (EES, ETIAS, Spanish phrases, travelling with pets, and the TIE process). No payment required — just register. Guides on settling in (NIE, banking, empadronamiento, digital certificate) are part of the Premium Plan, and can also be purchased separately if you are on the Basic Plan. Document upload is only available on paid plans.

Question 5

Do you work with tax advisors or lawyers?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I have a trusted partner tax advisor (English-speaking, specialised in expats) and I can refer you to licensed immigration lawyers for complex cases. The Premium Plan includes one complimentary introductory session with either a tax advisor or immigration lawyer. You can also book a standalone tax consultation directly through the website — contact us for current pricing.

Question 6

Which Spanish visa is right for me?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your situation. The Digital Nomad Visa is for remote workers earning income from outside Spain. The Non-Lucrative Visa is for retirees or people living on passive income (savings, pension, investments). The Student Visa is for anyone enrolling in a Spanish university or language school. If you are unsure, take the free eligibility test or book a call.

Question 7

What are the income requirements for the Digital Nomad Visa?

Accepted Answer

You need to earn at least 2,850 euros per month net from remote work or self-employment, with a valid contract or client relationship of at least 3 months. You also need health insurance without a co-pay that covers you in Spain, and a clean criminal record.

Question 8

What are the financial requirements for the Non-Lucrative Visa?

Accepted Answer

You need to demonstrate passive income of at least 28,800 euros per year, plus 7,200 euros for each additional family member. This can come from a pension, investments, rental income, or savings. You cannot work in Spain on this visa.

Question 9

What are the financial requirements for the Student Visa?

Accepted Answer

You need to prove you have enough funds to cover your tuition and living expenses for the duration of your studies. You also need an acceptance letter from a Spanish university or accredited language school, valid health insurance, and a clean criminal record.

Question 10

Can I apply from Spain if I am already here?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your visa type and situation. The Digital Nomad Visa can be applied for via the UGE if you are already in Spain legally. Consulate applications must be done from your country of residence. I will tell you exactly which route applies on your free call.

Question 11

What is the difference between applying at a consulate and through UGE?

Accepted Answer

Consulate applications are made from your home country before you move to Spain. UGE (Unidad de Grandes Empresas) applications are made from within Spain and are available for the Digital Nomad Visa. UGE decisions typically come faster (around 20 business days) but the process and requirements differ. I will advise you on which route is better for your situation.

Question 12

What happens during the TIE process?

Accepted Answer

Once your visa is approved and you arrive in Spain, you have 30 days to apply for your TIE (Tarjeta de Identidad de Extranjero) — your physical residency card. You need to register on the padron (municipal register), book a cita previa at the local Extranjeria, and attend in person. I guide you through every step and help with appointment booking.

Question 13

Can you arrange my health insurance for my visa application?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I am ASISA's exclusive registered agent (mediator code M10945), so I can arrange a consulate-compliant ASISA policy directly for you — ASISA Health Residents for most long-stay visas (DNV, NLV, and others), or ASISA Health Students for the Student Visa. Because I am an exclusive agent, I mediate ASISA policies only, not policies from other insurers.

Question 14

Why go through you instead of contacting ASISA directly?

Accepted Answer

You are welcome to contact ASISA directly. Going through me means English-speaking support while choosing and setting up the right policy for your specific visa route, and one point of contact for both your visa paperwork and your insurance setup. You still pay ASISA directly for the policy — there is no extra markup for arranging it through me.

Question 15

What if I have a problem with my ASISA policy after it is active?

Accepted Answer

Once your policy is active, claims, coverage questions, and billing are handled directly by ASISA through their own Servicio de Atención al Cliente, as with any insurance policy. If a complaint about my conduct as your agent, rather than the policy itself, is not resolved directly, you can also escalate to the DGSFP Servicio de Reclamaciones. Full details are in our Terms and Conditions.

Question 16

Do you also offer pet, dental, home, or life insurance through ASISA?

Accepted Answer

Yes, ASISA Mascotas, ASISA Dental, ASISA Hogar, and ASISA Vida are also available — useful if you are also bringing a pet, buying a property, or settling in with family. Visit the Insurance page or message me on WhatsApp for details and current offers.

Question 17

What is included in the Basic Plan?

Accepted Answer

The Basic Plan includes a 60-minute video call to analyse your situation, a personalised step-by-step checklist, bilingual templates and pre-filled forms, foundational guides on essential topics, and free portal access (download only). The price is the same for the whole family regardless of how many people are applying.

Question 18

What is included in the Premium Plan?

Accepted Answer

The Premium Plan includes everything in Basic, plus: dedicated case management, full portal access (upload and download), ongoing support via chat, email and video call, health insurance coordination, and one complimentary session with a partner tax advisor or immigration lawyer.

Question 19

What is the Document Review service?

Accepted Answer

The Document Review is a standalone service for people who have already gathered their visa documents and want a professional second opinion before submitting. For 79 euros, I review your full file and send written feedback within 3 business days — what is missing, what needs apostilling or translating, and what is correct and ready to go. You upload your documents via the Client Portal after booking.

Question 20

How long does the process take?

Accepted Answer

Consulate applications typically take 1 to 3 months from submission. UGE applications can take around 20 business days. Preparation time before submission depends on your documentation. I give you a realistic timeline for your specific case on our first call.

Question 21

What if my application is rejected?

Accepted Answer

I review every case carefully before submission to minimise this risk. If a rejection happens, what happens next depends on the reason — please refer to our Terms and Conditions for details, or ask me directly on a call. If the rejection is for reasons outside documentation (criminal record, legal inadmissibility), I will refer you to a licensed immigration lawyer.

Question 22

What if I get a requerimiento (request for additional documents)?

Accepted Answer

If you applied through our Premium Plan, requerimientos are handled as part of your case, in collaboration with a licensed immigration lawyer where needed. If you applied on your own or with another provider and receive a requerimiento, I also offer this as a standalone service: full review and plain-language explanation of the notice, deadline tracking, preparation and submission of the official response, and follow-up through to resolution. This starts from €200, with the final price confirmed once I review your specific notice.

Question 23

Do your prices include government fees?

Accepted Answer

No. Government fees (such as Tasa 790) are separate and paid directly by you to the Spanish authorities. I will tell you exactly what fees apply to your case and when to pay them.

Question 24

How do you communicate with clients?

Accepted Answer

All communication is through the Client Portal (messages, document upload, progress tracking) and email for general updates. Video calls are via Google Meet. I respond to messages within 4 business days, Monday to Friday, excluding Spanish public holidays.

Question 25

Where do I upload my documents?

Accepted Answer

All sensitive documents must be uploaded exclusively via the Client Portal. Never send documents via email or WhatsApp — this is for your security. Move Spain Visa is not liable for data breaches from documents sent through unsecured channels.

Question 26

Are you a lawyer?

Accepted Answer

No. I am an independent immigration consultant and document preparation specialist. For cases that require legal representation — appeals, rejections, or complex eligibility questions — I refer clients to licensed immigration lawyers. This is clearly stated in the Terms and Conditions.

Question 27

Do you only help with the visa or also with settling in Spain?

Accepted Answer

The visa preparation is the core service. The free client portal includes the visa guide for your case, a document checklist, and free practical guides (EES, ETIAS, Spanish phrases, travelling with pets, and the TIE process). Deeper guides on settling in — NIE, opening a bank account, empadronamiento, and obtaining your digital certificate — are part of the Premium Plan, and can also be purchased separately on the Basic Plan. If you book our TIE service, empadronamiento (municipal registration) and the TIE card itself are both included. Premium clients also have access to a partner tax advisor for their first year of tax obligations in Spain.
