Initial authorisation

We process the permit from scratch: documentation, filing with the authorities and follow-up until the decision is issued.

Renewals with deadline tracking

We alert you 45 days before expiry. We handle the renewal so the worker does not lose a single day of legal status.

Modifications and changes

Change of employer, modification of conditions or type of authorisation. We manage it without leaving the worker unprotected.

High demand.
We are specialists.

The Spanish Startups Act of 2023 has opened a new door for entrepreneurs, digital nomads and investors. Handling these applications requires expertise in both immigration law and the startup ecosystem.

Common questions
about immigration

Which immigration procedures do you handle?
At SET Legal we provide end-to-end management of residence visas, residence and work permits (both under the General Regime and the Spanish Entrepreneurs Act), arraigo (settlement-based) permits, EU family member residence cards, family reunification and Spanish citizenship applications.
How long does an immigration procedure usually take?
The general maximum period for notifying decisions under the General Regime is 3 months, after which administrative silence operates as a refusal. Applications under the Entrepreneurs Act processed by the UGE (Large Business Unit) benefit from a fast-track period of 20 working days, with silence operating in the applicant's favour.
What documents do I need to get started?
As a rule, you will need a complete valid passport, an apostilled criminal record certificate from your country of origin covering the last 5 years, a historical certificate of empadronamiento (municipal registration) and proof of financial means or a viable employment contract.
Do I need to be physically present, or can everything be handled remotely?
The vast majority of applications and appeals are filed electronically through legal representation via the Mercurio platform. Physical presence is only required for fingerprinting and collecting the Foreigner Identity Card (TIE).
Do you serve clients in Terrassa and across the Valles Occidental?
Yes, we offer in-person advice at our office in Terrassa and centralised online case management for clients across the region and throughout Spain.
