Your circumstances first
We review your situation before considering a route.
Immigration advice
Residence and employed work

Advice in English and Spanish.
Documents with a purpose
We connect your information with the case that needs reviewing.
A clear scope
We agree on the work and fees before starting the service.
Who this is for
For employers and workers preparing employment in Spain in light of the worker’s immigration circumstances.
How we can help
Identifying the recruitment route
We check whether the case involves an initial authorisation, a change from another permission or an international mobility route. A job offer is the starting point; the procedure also depends on the candidate’s profile and current status.
Coordinating employer documents
We review the contract, duties, conditions and employer documents. Where relevant, we assess the labour market test and possible exceptions, then clarify what each party needs to provide before the application is prepared.
Preparing employee documents
We organise identification, immigration history and professional evidence, including requirements for a regulated profession where relevant. We explain which documents need updating, translation or legalisation and how to coordinate any consular stage.
Starting work and next steps
A favourable decision may require further steps before the authorisation becomes effective. We review instructions on entry, social security registration and documentation, and explain which changes in employment should be checked during its validity.

Can the employee start the process alone?
For the initial general-regime authorisation, the employer applies. We identify the relevant route and coordinate documents from both parties.
Is a job offer enough to start working?
No. The relevant work permission and when it takes effect must be checked before a start date is agreed.
