Residency and visas in Spain

Owning a Spanish company does not by itself give you the right to live or work in Spain. What you need depends on your nationality, your role in the business and whether you plan to move. EU citizens have different procedures from nationals of other countries, and some routes are tied to an investment or an entrepreneurial project. Firms that offer residency help guide the application and deal with the paperwork.

Check whether the profile mentions immigration work directly, since many accounting practices refer this to a partner. Ask who prepares the file, whether a lawyer is involved, what the fee covers and how the firm keeps your company filings and your personal status aligned.

211 firms list residency or visa help for Spain: 154 accounting firms, 49 law firms and 8 corporate services providers. On languages, 124 offer English, 47 French and 23 German. Real estate is the most common industry, named by 69. Compare them against the Spain guide, or add a note about your plans to the quote request.

Frequently asked questions

Does opening a company in Spain give me a residence permit?

No. A company and a right of residence are separate matters. Which permit applies depends on your nationality, your role and your plans, so ask a qualified adviser before you commit to a route.

Should the same firm handle my company and my visa?

It can help, because the two files must agree. Confirm that someone qualified in immigration law is responsible, and ask for the scope and fee in writing.
