The roadmap to your plastic card
We walk every step with you. You see the progress — we answer for the result.
We study your case, check it against the requirements and build your relocation strategy.
We help you get a Schengen visa, and collect the certificates, translations and employer letter.
We file the package with the immigration office using our digital signature — no consulate visit. From this moment you are staying in Spain legally.
We track the application and handle any follow-up request (+10 days). Then we catch a fingerprint appointment (+14 days).
You give fingerprints at the police station and pick up your plastic TIE card. For the self-employed we also open a bank account and register your Autónomo in Spain.
Average time to card in hand — 2–3 months

On your own or with El Relocator
You can apply on your own. But a single refusal costs more than our service — in money and in months of your life.

| Risk of refusal | High — one paperwork mistake is enough | Minimal — we only take cases we believe in |
| Learning the requirements | Dozens of hours of forums and guesswork | 0 hours — we know the procedure by heart |
| Translation and apostille | You figure it out and run around yourself | We do it for you, with sworn translation |
| Follow-up document requests | Panic and the risk of missing a deadline | We respond — calmly and on time |
| Taxes | Guessing how much you will owe | We calculate the optimal regime in advance |
| Cost of a mistake | Months lost + fees paid all over again | You are covered — we work until you get the result |
| After approval | You are on your own in a foreign country | We stay with you: renewal, permanent residency, taxes |
