Administrative & Compliance
We don’t just tell you what to do, we “hold your hand” throughout the whole process of obtaining your Spanish residency.
Complying with Spanish law could prove challenging since all official documents are written in Spanish and the process could sometimes be complicated.
At L&L, we help you accomplish your visa application form (which is double-checked by our legal team). We guide you through the arduous process of gathering the supporting documents of your application. We prepare you for interview through one-on-one coaching.
Upon landing in Spain, we “hold your hand” as you fulfill your legal obligations. This includes securing your padrón (residency certificate), your Número de Identidad Extranjero (Fiscal Identification Card), your Tarjeta de Identidad Extranjero (residency card).
We assist you in opening your bank account, filing your annual income and property taxes, obtaining a drivers license and all legal compliance renewals.
In short, we go through the entire residency process with you to ease your worry and avoid mistakes.
