Practice Areas

Spain’s residency route for people who can support themselves and their family without working. It requires no investment, no property purchase and no business — only the financial means to live in Spain, private health cover and a clean record. It is the route most of our families from the Gulf and Iran use, and the one where small evidential mistakes cause most refusals.

Spain’s international telework residency, created by the 2022 Startup Law, for professionals who work remotely for companies or clients outside Spain. It gives the whole family residency, lets the spouse work, and can be combined with the Beckham tax regime. Most refusals are not about income — they are about the structure of the employment or the social security position behind it, and that is where we spend our time.

The route for people who want to open their own business or practise their profession in Spain — a restaurant, a shop, a consultancy, a trade, a franchise. Unlike the Digital Nomad Visa, the activity takes place in Spain and with Spanish clients. The file is assessed on the project itself: whether it is viable, properly funded and legally able to operate, and whether you are qualified to run it.

Spain’s residency for innovative business projects of special economic interest, under the Entrepreneurs Law (Law 14/2013) as amended by the 2022 Startup Law. It is processed by a specialised unit, not the ordinary immigration offices, and decided in weeks rather than months. The file depends on a favourable report from ENISA, the public company that assesses innovation and scalability — not profitability or capital.

For international groups moving managers, specialists or trainees to their Spanish company, branch or client project. Processed by the Large Companies and Strategic Groups Unit under Law 14/2013 and the EU ICT Directive, it is the fastest and most predictable way to relocate existing staff from the Gulf, Iran or Turkey — with their families.

The permit is the beginning, not the end. We prepare and file the renewal of your residence permit and book the fingerprint appointment for your new TIE card — for you and every family member — checking first that the conditions of your route are still met, because a permit that cannot be renewed is not a plan.

We incorporate Spanish limited companies (SL) for non-resident clients entirely by power of attorney — residency in Spain is not required, and neither is travelling here. We handle every step from the NIE to the company’s tax registration, and we build the structure around what the company is actually for: operating a business, holding assets, or supporting a residency application.

When a group from Iran, the UAE, the GCC or Turkey wants its own presence in Spain, the usual vehicle is a Spanish limited company (SL) whose shareholder is the foreign parent company. We incorporate it by power of attorney, including the legalisation and translation of the parent’s corporate documents — the step that usually takes longest — and design it to host any executives the group will transfer to Spain.

Autónomo is Spain’s self-employed status: the way an individual invoices clients in their own name without a company. We handle the complete registration — digital certificate, tax census (Form 036) and Social Security — and explain from the start what it will cost each month in contributions and what has to be filed each quarter, so there are no surprises.

Once you are registered as autónomo, the real work is the calendar: invoices, quarterly returns and annual summaries — each of them also a condition for renewing your residence permit. We keep your books and file your recurring tax returns throughout the year, so you always know what is due and when.

A Spanish limited company has obligations from the day it is incorporated, whether or not it has started trading. We keep the company’s books and file its recurring tax returns and annual accounts, with a team that also understands the residency files that often depend on the company.

Spain’s special tax regime for inbound workers, known as the Beckham Law. Instead of being taxed as an ordinary resident on worldwide income at progressive rates of up to 47% or more, qualifying new residents are taxed broadly as non-residents: a flat rate on Spanish employment income and most foreign income left outside the Spanish tax net. For clients arriving from the Gulf, it is often the most valuable decision of the whole move.
