Immigration Lawyers in Spain

Legal advice and assistance on immigration, residence, work and Spanish nationality matters.

At EBAN Abogados, we provide legal assistance to foreign nationals and their families in matters relating to entry into Spain, residence, employment and lawful stay.

Every immigration situation is different. Our work therefore begins with an assessment of the client’s individual circumstances, current immigration status and the legal options available under Spanish and European law.

We provide legal assistance throughout Spain and offer free initial consultations.

Residence Permits

We advise on the different legal routes available to obtain and maintain lawful residence in Spain, taking into account the applicant’s personal, family and professional circumstances.

Our assistance includes the preparation and review of applications, renewals, modifications of residence status and legal advice on issues arising during administrative proceedings.

Residence and Work Permits

We provide advice on the different residence and work permits available to foreign nationals who wish to live and work or carry out a professional activity in Spain.

We assess both the applicant’s circumstances and the employment, professional activity or business project on which the relevant authorization may be based.

Family Reunification

Lawful residence in Spain may allow certain family members to join the resident where the statutory requirements are met.

We advise on eligible family members, residence and financial requirements, supporting documentation and the different stages of the procedure.

Family Members of Spanish and EU Citizens

Family relationships with Spanish nationals or citizens of other European Union Member States may give rise to specific residence regimes.

We assess the particular family circumstances to determine the appropriate procedure and provide assistance throughout the preparation and processing of the application.

Arraigo and Exceptional Circumstances

Spanish immigration law provides for different residence authorisations based on exceptional circumstances, including the various categories of arraigo.

We assess the applicant’s personal, family, employment and training circumstances to determine which route may be available and how the relevant circumstances should be established.

We also assist in other exceptional-circumstances procedures, including certain cases involving humanitarian grounds, cooperation with public authorities, violence or human trafficking.

Spanish Nationality

We advise on Spanish nationality matters, including nationality by residence, option, parentage and other routes, as well as recovery, retention, the nationality oath, appeals and matters relating to the CCSE and DELE examinations.

Asylum and International Protection

We provide legal assistance in matters relating to applications for international protection in Spain and the administrative proceedings arising from them.

Given the particular nature of these proceedings, each case requires an individual assessment of the applicant’s circumstances and any background facts that may be legally relevant.

Renewals and Modifications

A foreign national’s immigration status may change over time as a result of new family or professional circumstances or because the requirements for another category of residence have been met.

We advise on renewals and modifications of residence status and assess the available alternatives when the circumstances underlying the original authorisation change.

Appeals and Administrative Proceedings

An adverse immigration decision does not necessarily bring the matter to an end.

We review refusals and other administrative decisions affecting a foreign national’s legal status in order to assess the viability of the available administrative or judicial remedies.

Our experience in Spanish Administrative and Administrative Litigation Law allows us to address immigration disputes from a broader legal perspective.

A Multidisciplinary Legal Approach

Immigration matters cannot always be analysed in isolation. A person’s residence status may depend on family relationships, employment, business activity or other circumstances with legal consequences.

EBAN Abogados therefore considers, where relevant, issues of Civil, Family, Employment, Commercial and Administrative Law when advising immigration clients.

EBAN Abogados also provides information and professional coordination in matters involving the United States.

We provide guidance concerning ESTA and certain U.S. visa categories, as well as matters arising where a personal or business project connects Spain and the United States.

This area may also involve U.S. company formation, EIN applications and tax and administrative coordination, working where necessary with U.S.-based professionals and specialised service providers.

Our role is to assess the matter from Spain, identify the appropriate steps and coordinate with U.S. professionals where the nature of the matter requires their involvement.
