View serviceYour next decision
Start with the procedure or transaction you actually need
An initial visa, a residence renewal and a property contract are different legal decisions. Choose a starting point to understand the relevant evidence and limitations.
Initial non-lucrative visa
Starting from abroad? Review personal and family circumstances, financial evidence, insurance and your consular district before applying.
Renew a non-lucrative residence
Already resident in Spain? Check the expiry date, continuing conditions and renewal procedure separately from the initial visa.
Digital nomad residence
Planning to work remotely? The work arrangement and route must be assessed; an NLV is not a remote-working permission.
Independent property due diligence
Buying property? Review ownership, registered matters and contract commitments before a deposit or binding signature.
If your matter does not fit one of these pages
Contact ILS with the minimum information needed to identify the legal issue. The practice will confirm whether the matter falls within its professional scope and what the appropriate next step is.
Planning from overseas
Which Spanish legal service fits an international relocation or purchase?
Clients based in the UK, United States or Canada may need Spanish-law advice before moving or investing. A first non-lucrative visa differs from a renewal inside Spain, and buying property does not by itself establish a right of residence.
Before quoting, we distinguish whether the objective is relocating, joining family, buying a home or challenging a decision. Then we identify the competent filing location, existing overseas records and what can realistically be prepared without travelling to Spain.
Study in Spain
Planning to study in Spain? Student visas and study stays
Studying at a recognised university or training institution has different immigration requirements from the non-lucrative visa. Admission, proof of funds, insurance, timing and the place of filing matter. We advise applicants in the US, UK and Canada on the Spanish-law route that fits their course.
Tenerife and New York
In-person Spanish-law consultations in Manhattan through SpainLawNYC
For Spanish-law matters covered on this website, paid in-person legal consultations may be arranged in Manhattan, New York, through SpainLawNYC by confirmed prior appointment only. There is no walk-in office, and US legal advice is not provided. Remote and Tenerife consultations are also available.
Retention, recovery and appeals
Concerned about losing Spanish citizenship?
We assess possible loss of Spanish nationality, retention declarations, recovery and legal remedies against certain Civil Registry decisions. The correct route depends on nationality by origin, dates, proof and the relevant authority.
