    From your American paperwork to your Spanish residence card

    The hard part of this visa isn't the law — it's making U.S. evidence satisfy Spanish requirements, in the right order, before anything expires. That's the entire service: strategy, translations, filing, and your first months of Spanish bureaucracy, with one team.

    After filing, the UGE has a statutory window of up to 20 business days to decide.

    What's included

    The service, phase by phase

    01

    Before filing

    • Free 30-minute eligibility assessment by video — your profile, your numbers, your document gaps, and the real investment, before any commitment
    • U.S. document strategy: which American evidence satisfies each Spanish requirement — mapped per profile (W-2, 1099, LLC/Corporation owner)
    • Apostille logistics planned backwards from your filing date — federal (U.S. Department of State) and state queues sequenced so nothing expires in line
    • MAEC sworn translations (English–Spanish) handled in-house — the only translations Spanish authorities accept
    • Health insurance guidance: which insurers and plans the UGE actually accepts, with no copays or waiting periods
    02

    During the process

    • Employer pack for W-2 cases: the exact letter template (salary in euros) and a briefing document so HR's legal review has a defined, contained scope
    • Every document reviewed and validated before filing — nothing is submitted without team approval
    • Full family package: spouse, partner, children, and dependent relatives, including the U.S.-specific evidence for each
    • Electronic filing with the UGE with a REGAGE file number — you track every movement in real time
    • Statutory-deadline management, including the positive administrative silence mechanism and responses to any subsanación notice
