The Spanish immigration system is complex, and the quality of legal help varies wildly. Before you hand over thousands of euros to an "expert," you must ask these 5 critical questions.
1. "Are you a registered Abogado or a Gestor?"
A Gestor is an administrative agent. An Abogado is a fully qualified lawyer. For complex visas, always insist on a registered Abogado.
2. "What is your Colegio de Abogados registration number?"
Every legitimate lawyer in Spain has a registration number.
3. "Do your fees include the Tasa (Government Taxes)?"
Many lawyers quote a low fee, only to hit you later with hidden government taxes.
4. "Will you be the one handling my case?"
Some large agencies take your money and outsource the actual work.
5. "What happens if my visa is denied?"
A good lawyer will explain the appeal process (Recurso).
