How best immigration Lawyers in Spain works

We’ve organized every immigration procedure into three clear stages, so you always know where your case stands.

01

Case Review and Strateg

We start by understanding your situation: your nationality, how long you have lived in Spain, your current status, and your goal. We then confirm the correct procedure and category, and explain the requirements, timeline, and any risks before you file. This first step is where most cases are won or lost.

02

Document Preparation and Filing

We prepare your full application, gathering the required documents, arranging certified translations and apostilles, and completing the correct official forms (such as the EX-17 and Modelo 790). We submit everything to the right office within the deadlines that apply to your case.

03

Follow-Up and Resolution

We track your application, respond quickly to any request from the administration, and guide you through the final steps, fingerprinting, card collection, or registration. We stay with you until your procedure is fully resolved.

What Are Immigration Procedures in Spain?

Immigration procedures are the official steps that non-EU/EEA nationals follow to obtain, keep, or upgrade their legal status in Spain. They are governed by Spanish immigration law (Royal Decree 1155/2024) and handled through different bodies the Oficina de Extranjería, the National Police, and the Civil Registry depending on the procedure.

Whatever your situation, three things decide the outcome:

  • Filing under the correct category
  • Submitting complete and properly legalized documents
  • Respecting the deadlines

A small mistake a missed window, an expired certificate, or the wrong form can delay your case for months or lead to a rejection.

The most common procedures include:

  • Renewing a residence card (TIE) before it expires
  • Regularizing your status through arraigo
  • Applying for Spanish nationality after the required period of residence
  • Family reunification and changes of status
