Featured Information

1. If your country is part of the Hague Convention, which is the most common case, foreign documents must be legalized with the  Hague Apostille. 
2. If your country is not part of the Hague Convention, documents must be legalized by the authorities of issuing country as well as by the Spanish embassy in that country. Check here if your country belongs to the Hague Convention.
3. Documents drawn by the authorities in these countries are exempt from legalizing or the Hague Apostille 
   
4. All documents issued in a language other than Spanish must be translated by an official sworn translator. At Visal Immigration we can take care of managing this translating service for you.
5. The aforementioned documentation is not an exhaustive list, which means that during the permit process, the Spanish Administration may request more information or further documents.
6. You should keep in mind that at Visal Immigration we will help you processing your residence permit, but not your physical card (T.I.E.). Thus, when your permit is granted, you will have to go to the National Police station in your city to request your card and pay the fees for the police (around 12 euros). Please note that this fee exclusively corresponds to the issuance of the physical card (TIE), and therefore IS not included in our fees to process the residence permit.

600€ MAIN APPLICANT(Investor). VAT and Immigration fees included
440€ for each additional family member.
