How long does a Spanish residency application take?

It depends on the permit type: work authorisations 2–4 months, non-lucrative residency 3–6 months, Golden Visa around 20 working days, family reunification roughly 3 months. A complete file from the start prevents delays.

How far in advance should I apply to renew my residency?

File your renewal within the 60 days before expiry. Once the application is admitted you may legally remain in Spain until the new permit is issued.

What can I do if my residency application is denied?

You may file an administrative appeal within 1 month of the denial, or take the matter to the administrative courts. We can analyse the grounds and draft the appeal.

What are the basic requirements for the Digital Nomad Visa?

You must prove remote work for a foreign employer or self-employed income from outside Spain; stable income (approx. €2,650 net/month over the last 3 months); and submit work documentation and a criminal record certificate.
