What services does Bureaucracy offer?

We specialise in helping individuals, families, and businesses navigate Spanish bureaucracy. Our core services include visa and residency applications (NLV, Digital Nomad, Student Visa, and more), Empadronamiento, Social Security registration, healthcare enrolment, and document legalisation such as apostilles and sworn translations.

Do I need to be in Spain to start my application?

No - many of our visa applications can be started from your home country. We guide you through the document collection and preparation phase remotely via our online dashboard and mobile app.

How long does a visa application take?

Processing times vary by visa type and consulate. A Non-Lucrative Visa (NLV) typically takes 4-8 weeks, while a Digital Nomad Visa can take 2-4 weeks.

How does Bureaucracy handle my documents?

Everything is managed through our secure online dashboard. You upload your documents directly, and your dedicated case manager reviews each one, provides feedback, and requests any corrections - all within the platform.

I want to move to Spain. What is the first step?

Start by choosing the visa or service that matches your situation on our website. You can then create a free account on our online dashboard, where you will see a personalised checklist of everything you need. Your dedicated case manager will be in touch to walk you through the process.
