The general procedure for immigration to Spain is this:

  • You deliver your visa application in person at the Spanish Embassy in your country of residence.
  • The Embassy forwards the application to the authorities in Spain.
  • If your application is approved, the Embassy will call you to pick up your visa. You have 30 days to pick up your visa.
  • With the visa, you travel to Spain. Your visa is valid for 90 days: you must enter Spain during that time.
  • Within 30 days of your arrival in Spain, you must apply for your residence permit (with NIE number).
  • You must renew your permit periodically. Your initial residence permit allows you to stay in Spain for one year. As long as the conditions for your residence permit are maintained, residency in Spain may be renewed indefinitely.

If I have to present the application myself at the Embassy, why hire an immigration lawyer?

A good immigration lawyer in Spain does, in fact, have access to the Spanish authorities reviewing your application. It simplifies the reviewer's work to be able to contact the lawyer and receive clarifications regarding the application. It is NOT worth it for them to contact the applicant directly. The lawyer speaks their language, both literally and figuratively. The lawyer can supply the additional documentation requested for an application that would otherwise get rejected.
