The life you want here runs on paperwork: the right permit, filed right, renewed on time. We keep the administration's side of your life in order.

Residency and immigration lawyers in Fuerteventura — permits, NIE and nationality

The practice

Make your life here official

Fuerteventura is full of lives that started somewhere else — European neighbours who settled, workers hired from abroad, families reuniting, remote workers who traded a grey sky for this one. Every one of those lives runs on a file: the NIE, the registry certificate, the permit, the renewals, one day perhaps the nationality. This desk runs those files, for individuals and for the companies that employ them.

Our method starts before the paperwork: eligibility first. Immigration files fail far more often from choosing the wrong route than from missing a stamp — and changing routes mid-file costs months. We confirm which permit actually fits your case, prepare the file completely, present it, and answer the administration so you do not have to learn its language.

Which one is yours?

The routes

Six doors into a legal life in Spain. The first job — and the one that saves months — is knocking on the right one.

The EU citizenFreedom of movement still comes with paperwork: the registry certificate, the NIE, the padrón, healthcare. One visit, done in order.
The employeeHired by a Spanish company: residence and work in one file — with the employer's side of the paperwork prepared too.
The self-employedAutónomo from day one: a work permit built on a business plan the administration finds credible — because it is.
The remote workerThe international-teleworker route for staff and freelancers of foreign companies — income, insurance and tax boxes ticked before filing, not after.
The familyReunification, with its income and housing requirements checked honestly first — so the file is filed once.
The citizen-to-beNationality: generally after ten years of residence, two for Ibero-American nationals, one through marriage — prepared all the way to the oath.

The route

From arrival to settled

STEP 01

The eligibility check

Which permit actually fits — decided before anything is filed. The wrong route costs months; the check costs a meeting.

STEP 02

The file

Documents, translations, apostilles — complete the first time. Most "slow" cases are just incomplete ones.

STEP 03

The filing & follow-up

We present, we answer requirements, we chase. You live your life; we deal with the administration.

STEP 04

The calendar

Renewals and upgrades — to long-term residence, to nationality — tracked so nothing ever lapses.

Residency & Immigration questions

Before you ask

How long does an NIE take?

With a clean file, usually a matter of weeks — and most of the delays we inherit from do-it-yourself attempts trace back to avoidable errors. It is the first key to everything else here, so it is worth doing right.

I am an EU citizen. Do I actually need anything?

Less than others, but not nothing: after three months living here you should hold the EU registry certificate, and daily life will ask for your NIE and padrón constantly. One appointment, done in the right order, closes all of it.

Can my family join me in Spain?

Family reunification has clear requirements — income, housing, your own status. We check your numbers against them honestly before filing, because a rejected application costs months that a prepared one does not.

My application was refused. Is it over?

No. Refusals can be appealed — administratively and in court — and many fall because the file was assessed wrongly or incompletely. Bring the refusal with its notification date; the deadlines are short.

When can I apply for Spanish nationality?

As a rule after ten years of legal residence — two for nationals of Ibero-American countries and a few others, one if you are married to a Spaniard. We prepare the file, the exams and the follow-through to the oath.
