Why people look for an immigration lawyer
Immigration cases in Spain tend to go wrong for the same reasons.
Applying for the wrong permit
A specialist reviews your situation first and recommends the route that fits it.
Refusals over missing or badly prepared documents
Your file is checked, and documents from abroad are legalised and translated before anything is submitted.
A short deadline after a refusal
The deadline to appeal is stated in the refusal letter, so starting your case straight away gives a lawyer time to act.
Not knowing what a lawyer will charge
Every estimate and offer shows the fee upfront, so you compare before you commit to anyone.
What an immigration lawyer does
An immigration lawyer advises you on the right permit, prepares and files your application, answers requests from the immigration office and represents you if an application is refused.
Every lawyer in Spain must be registered with a bar association. Specialist profiles on Expatronus show the firm name and website, so you can look a lawyer up in the official register before you hire.
What to have ready
- Your passport, including copies of every stamped page
- Your current Spanish permit or TIE card, if you have one
- Your town hall registration certificate (empadronamiento)
- Any letter or decision you received from the immigration office
- For family cases, marriage or birth certificates, legalised and translated

Common questions
How quickly will I hear from a specialist?
A specialist who is asked for an estimate has two working days to reply.
Do the lawyers speak English?
Specialists on Expatronus list the languages they work in on their profile, so you can choose someone who works in English.
My application was refused. What now?
Depending on the case, the options are usually an administrative appeal, a new application that fixes what went wrong, or an appeal in court. The deadline is short, so choose Refused application above and start your case as soon as you can.
Is a gestor the same as a lawyer?
No. A gestor handles administrative paperwork, while a lawyer can also give legal advice and represent you in appeals and in court. For a refusal or an appeal, choose a lawyer.
Is it free to post my case?
Yes. Posting a case and comparing offers costs nothing. You only pay the specialist you choose, at the price shown in their offer.
Can I start if I am not in Spain yet?
Yes. Many immigration cases start from abroad, and specialists work with clients online.
