WHAT YOU GET FOR $399

Your complete application packet — pre-filled, consulate-matched, and personalized for your family.

Every document is generated from your answers in our guided wizard. No blank templates. No generic instructions. Your data, mapped to the right forms, formatted for your consulate.

Pre-filled visa application form

The official government form your consulate requires, completed with your personal, employment, and financial data. Ready to print, sign, and submit.

NIE application — matched to your consulate

Your consulate determines which version of this form you need — and most applicants don’t know there are multiple versions. We detect your jurisdiction and generate the correct one automatically.

Personalized cover letter

Tailored to your employment type, income sources, family composition, and consulate. Structured around what consular officers look for in a DNV application.

Employer authorization letter

Pre-filled with your company, role, and salary. Formatted to meet consulate requirements for remote work permission. Print on company letterhead, get it signed. (Freelancers receive a client relationship summary instead.)

Financial evidence summary

Your income mapped against Spain’s 2026 thresholds, adjusted for your family size. Organized so the consular officer can verify your qualification at a glance.

Document checklist — sequenced to your timeline

Every supporting document you need to gather, in the order you should tackle them. Processing times, apostille requirements, translation needs — all mapped to your target submission date.

Consulate-specific instruction sheet

Your consulate’s address, appointment method, payment requirements, and submission details. Because every office handles it differently.

Interactive preparation checklist

44+ tasks with dependency tracking — shows what’s ready, what’s blocked, and what to start first. Each task includes step-by-step guidance, processing times, and links to the resources you need.

Dependent forms (if applicable)

Spouse and child documents, adjusted thresholds, and additional supporting document requirements — generated from the same wizard session at no extra cost.

Complete application packet from one wizard session. $399 flat. No per-document fees. No subscription. No waiting for someone to get back to you.

What you'll still do yourself

We prepare the paperwork. Here's what only you can handle.

Your FBI background check, apostille, and sworn translation — we tell you exactly how, when, and where to order each one.

Your health insurance enrollment — we explain what the consulate requires and when to enroll.

Your accommodation proof — a rental agreement or booking in Spain.

Your consulate appointment — we give you the booking method for your specific office.

And the submission itself — you bring the packet and submit in person.

Our checklist and timeline tell you when to start each step, in what order, and how long it takes. You're never guessing what's next.

Who this is for

Good fit

Remote W-2 employees, freelancers, or business owners earning above Spain’s income threshold.
Families relocating together.
Clean criminal record.
Straightforward case.

Not a fit

Income below the threshold.
Prior visa rejections.
Criminal record complications.
Complex custody situations.
Planning to work for a Spanish employer — that’s a different visa.

Our free eligibility check catches these before you pay. If your case needs a lawyer, we'll tell you.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need an NIE before applying for the visa?

At most consulates, yes — the NIE must be obtained before your visa application. A couple of consulates handle it differently by filing both simultaneously. Our platform accounts for this based on your jurisdiction.

How long does the whole process take?

Wizard to finished documents: under an hour. Document gathering (FBI check, apostille, translations) to consulate submission: typically 3–4 months. Our timeline tool helps you plan backward from your target date.

What if requirements change after I generate my documents?

We monitor consulate requirements and update forms regularly. We always recommend confirming current requirements with your consulate before your appointment, and you can regenerate your documents at any time if updates are needed.

Can I update my documents?

Yes. If your circumstances change, re-run the wizard and regenerate at no additional cost.
