A Spain immigration lawyer should identify the right visa or residence route for your case, name the regulated professional handling your file and set out the scope and fees in writing. Compare 12 law firms and advisers by credentials, regulator, fees and expertise.
Quick answer: this directory lists 12 Spain immigration providers, unranked, with paid profiles listed first. Use the filters to narrow by programme, provider type, language and fees.
A Spain immigration lawyer now works on residence routes, not a golden visa: Spain's investor visa ended on 3 April 2025. The main options are non-lucrative residence (400% of IPREM, €2,400 a month), the digital nomad visa (€2,442 a month), family reunification and arraigo, all under the immigration regulation in force since 20 May 2025.
Start by settling where you file from. Non-lucrative residence begins with a visa at a Spanish consulate, while arraigo is only for people already in Spain, so the right route depends on where you are today as much as on your income. Figures below were checked against the BOE and official pages on 26 Sep 2026.

View the record→Real Decreto 1155/2024, published in the BOE on 20 November 2024, replaced the old regulation of the Ley de Extranjería and took effect on 20 May 2025. It sets five types of arraigo: second chance, socio-labour, social, socio-training and family.
The regulation cut the continuous presence arraigo needs to two years, except for family arraigo, which has no minimum. Arraigo permits last one year (family arraigo five years), and every arraigo permit allows the holder to work.
Article 62 of the regulation sets 400% of IPREM a month for the main applicant and another 100% for each family member. With IPREM at €600 a month (SEPE, under Law 31/2022), that is €2,400 a month for you and €600 a month for each dependant. The first permit lasts one year and is for living in Spain without working.
The digital nomad route suits people working remotely for employers or clients outside Spain. It requires 200% of the monthly minimum wage, which Real Decreto 126/2026 sets at €1,221 for 2026, so €2,442 a month. The lawyers who file it are on the Spain digital nomad visa page.
A foreign resident sponsoring family must show regular income of 150% of IPREM for a household of the sponsor plus one relative, and another 50% of IPREM for each additional member (article 67). At the current IPREM that is €900 a month for two people, plus €300 for each extra person.
Organic Law 1/2025 repealed the investor-residence articles of Law 14/2013, and the golden visa ended on 3 April 2025. Existing permits stay valid for their term. Buying property can still need Spanish conveyancing and tax advice, but it no longer creates a residence case.
Under article 22 of the Civil Code, citizenship by residence needs ten years in general, five for refugees and two for nationals of Ibero-American countries, Andorra, the Philippines, Equatorial Guinea or Portugal, and for Sephardic Jews. One year is enough for a person married to a Spanish citizen and not separated.
Checked 26 Sep 2026: BOE, Real Decreto 1155/2024 (arraigo, non-lucrative and family reunification rules); SEPE, IPREM; BOE, Real Decreto 126/2026 (2026 minimum wage); BOE, Organic Law 1/2025 (golden visa repeal); BOE, Civil Code art. 22 (nationality).
No. Organic Law 1/2025 ended Spain's golden visa on 3 April 2025. Existing permits stay valid for their term, but a property purchase no longer creates a new residence case.
400% of IPREM a month for the main applicant, which is €2,400 a month at the current IPREM of €600, plus €600 a month for each family member.
No. It is for living in Spain without a work or professional activity. Remote workers for foreign employers or clients usually look at the digital nomad visa instead, which needs €2,442 a month in 2026.
A residence permit for people already in Spain who have economic, social, family, work or training ties. Since 20 May 2025 it needs two years of continuous presence (none for family arraigo), and every arraigo permit allows the holder to work.
Ten years in general, five for refugees, two for nationals of Ibero-American countries, Andorra, the Philippines, Equatorial Guinea or Portugal, and one year for a person married to a Spanish citizen.
