Digital nomad visa for Spain

This is a belated review, but better late than never!

My wife and I applied in June, arrived in Spain with a Greek Schengen visa on 02.06.23 for 2 weeks, and submitted all documents on 15.06.23. We applied as self-employed, despite not having regular monthly payments. The nature of my work is such that the client pays quarterly approximately. El Relocator at this stage helped check all documents, find the best-priced sworn translator, and correct the translation of our documents that we did through DeepL After this began a long waiting process. After a month, we received an additional request asking for a bank statement. We responded the same day, but there was no response from Spanish officials for more than 10 days. ¿Mañana por la mañana, si?

After that, the El Relocator team drafted a letter stating: deadlines exceeded – please give approval. As a result, on 8.08 we received approval for a 3-year nomad residence permit I want to note the politeness, positive attitude, and human interaction. It was very comfortable and productive working together) Thank you very much ☺️

P.S. thank you for patiently answering my questions every 2 days like: “Has the approval come yet?)” You are the best ❤️

Hi, I wanted to share my review about working with Gestor (spanish accountant/lawyer) Alexey Kuleshov.
I’ve been working with the lawyer since December 2023, starting with the process of opening an Individual Entrepreneur status with a passport (visa), as it was possible to do with a work visa.
During our collaboration with the lawyer:
• we completed the first year (December) declaration;
• first quarter of 2024;
• And also registered in the ROI registry on the first attempt, to exclude VAT/IVA payment.
In work, everything happens quickly and with detailed explanation of all actions. We submit declarations on time and without penalties.
Hestor was recommended by the El Relocator team, for which I thank them separately <3

We applied for a residence permit, started in December, and had everything in hand by March. A family from Russia with two children, the entire process took just under three months: we arrived on 24th December, received approval on 17th January, had our fingerprint appointment on 19th February, and received the cards on 25th March. We especially appreciate the team’s promptness and availability at every stage. Responses to our questions came quickly, making the process much less stressful. Thank you for your efficiency and support—I will definitely recommend you.

I received a 3-year residence permit in the shortest possible time without a single question from the approving authorities at all stages.
We started in November and finished in March (including tourist visa). All documents were processed on time, with no delays or errors. Everything went smoothly and stress-free for me, thanks to the well-organized work.
Big thanks to the team for keeping me updated and helping with any questions that arose!

Digital nomad visa for Spain

I got my approval yesterday!

I work as a freelancer for a company in Kazakhstan.

I had started gathering documents on my own and was ready to apply, but then the rules regarding sworn translations suddenly changed. To avoid the queue, I decided to try consular translation, but the Spanish consulate in Moscow wouldn’t accept my diploma without an apostille. In the end, it was faster and more cost-effective to go with the sworn translation, so I turned to the team, who quickly took care of everything and assisted with the submission.

• 17.07: Submission.
• 11.08: Received a request to resend the declaration of no criminal offenses and the promise to register with social security.
• 22.08: Residency approval for 3 years.

Thanks to the El Relocator team for the support and detailed answers on every issue!

Huge thanks to the entire team for securing digital nomad residency for my spouse and me!

We’ve already received approval and are flying to Spain for permanent residence next month. The team was incredibly responsible and exceeded all our expectations. We have a point of comparison—previously, we worked with other agencies, and it was a frustrating experience that cost us half a year, a lot of money, and nerves, as we had to push and oversee every step ourselves. Here, it was the complete opposite: everything was clear, professional, with no unnecessary talk, always responsive, and they found the best solutions in every situation.

Thank you for your outstanding work—you’re amazing!

Digital nomad visa for Spain

Hello everyone! This is a letter of gratitude to EL Relocator!

We began preparing for the Digital Nomad visa in the fall of 2023. After gathering information online and exploring various consultants, we spoke with friends who had already moved to Spain with the Digital Nomad visa and others who had been living there for a while. They recommended some specialists to us, and we also found a few through online searches and Telegram. However, we struggled to find the right fit and were often dissatisfied with the options.

Then we decided to try EL Relocator. They had been a consistent presence during our search for information, and their comprehensive guides caught our attention. We needed professional support because we wanted to avoid any risks, especially after experiencing a move about a year ago and knowing the potential challenges involved. We understood the importance of having a consultant guide us from start to finish.

We opted for the full package, considering the process complete only when we received our cards. We received them just a few days ago. We submitted the documents in the first ten days of January, received one follow-up request, and got our visa within a few days after that. The entire process took about two weeks.

During this time, we asked many questions on various topics and always received detailed answers. I even had the opportunity to meet the team in person.

I wholeheartedly recommend them!

A couple of months ago, I had a consultation where they explained the Spanish tax system, including the Beckham Law, in a very clear and understandable manner. They even provided a demo calculation based on our current income conditions. All our questions were answered, and the hour of discussion flew by quickly. I recommend preparing and sending your questions ahead of time to make the most of the consultation.

A big thanks to the El Relocator team for successfully handling our case.

Details: We are a couple without children, moving from Serbia on a digital nomad visa.

We started with a free consultation in the summer, where we were provided with a handy spreadsheet listing all the required documents, which we relied on throughout the process.

We arrived on October 24 and received approval with an additional request (a new requirement from Spain—an apostille for the company document) on November 24. We then scheduled fingerprinting in Madrid on December 11 and received our residence card on January 9. In total, it took less than 3 months from our arrival.

The team was always available and answered our questions promptly—highly recommended.

To those planning a move: Don’t be afraid, everything will work out!

Hello everyone!
I want to leave a review about the work of the team with our Schengen Spanish visa
Spoiler: we got it )))
Everything was pleasant, correct in communication and discussion of our case from the very beginning. I felt that I could deal with them and it was comfortable overall) I asked questions, received answers and support. The explanations were clear and timely.
The documents were also ready on time, I only prepared some of them by myself.
