At Vía Hispana, we handle your entire application professionally and telematically, ensuring your move to Spain is smooth and successful. Here are 7 common mistakes — and how we help you avoid them:

1. Insufficient Proof of Remote Work

One missing page, an outdated document, or a wrong format can lead to automatic rejection. Spanish immigration authorities are strict with paperwork. We thoroughly check every document you submit, ensuring it meets all official standards.

2. Insufficient Proof of Remote Work

Simply stating you work remotely isn’t enough. You must demonstrate stable remote employment or freelance contracts. Our team helps you prepare clear, convincing evidence tailored to your case.

3. Underestimating the Income Requirement

Applicants often miscalculate their qualifying income. Spain requires proof of approximately €2,600 per month, consistently. We help you organize your bank statements, contracts, and invoices to prove your financial stability.

4. Ignoring the Health Insurance Requirement

Health insurance must cover all risks, without copayments, and be valid throughout Spain. We guide you to trusted insurance providers and check that your policy meets legal criteria before submission.

5. Incorrect Criminal Background Check

Many submit background checks that are outdated, improperly legalized, or from the wrong authority. Vía Hispana ensures you request the correct document, properly apostilled or legalized where needed.

6. Attempting DIY Applications

Applying without professional help often leads to frustrating delays or refusals. Spanish bureaucracy is not forgiving of small mistakes. We handle the full telematic process on your behalf, ensuring maximum approval chances.

7. Not Considering Family Applications

Bringing your spouse and children? It’s vital to file their applications simultaneously. We manage all family paperwork in one coordinated process, avoiding issues later on.
