Thinking about moving to Spain
You don't live here yet, so you can't do most immigration procedures now — those happen once you're already in Spain. This is general orientation, not legal advice for your specific case.
Depending on your situation, here's what's typical
If you have a job offer in Spain
Usually a work visa is processed first from your home country. Once in Spain, you apply for your residence card.
If you have family who already live here with residency
Family reunification usually starts from your home country with a visa, and ends with your card once you're in Spain.
If you're going to study in Spain
A student visa is processed before you travel, depending on the length of your studies.
If none of the above fits your case
Every path depends heavily on the specific case — the safest move is to talk to us or a lawyer before you travel, not once you're already here.
This isn't legal advice — visa categories and their requirements change, and your specific case may have nuances we don't cover here.
Once you're in Spain and know which procedure you need, come back — we'll prepare all the documentation and the official form.
