Select Testimonials
Debora came highly recommended by good friends from my home town who had already gone through the NLV process. We contracted with Debora for the Digital Nomad Visa, and she guided us every step of the way. The process was daunting, but fortunately, we were not in a hurry, and we were able to proceed step by step. One thing we loved about Debora’s guidance was that when there were items for us to complete, she was able to provide step-by-step instructions to navigate websites, appointments, forms, and documents. Debora is very precise, engaged, articulate, and was always available to answer questions. We already have our approved DNV, obtained our TIEs, and are living in Barcelona. We couldn’t have done this without her.”

Debora was recommended to us by friends who worked with her to obtain a Spanish Digital Nomad Residence. It was a pleasure working with Debora. Our case was somewhat complex, involving citizens of two countries, and one of us is self-employed. All of this in the context of a changing landscape of requirements and processes on the part of the Spanish government (UGE). Debora’s experience, professionalism, and expertise helped us navigate the Digital Nomad Residence process with ease. We are thrilled to have successfully obtained our three-year residence thanks to working with Debora. We truly could not have done this without her and her Spanish counterpart.
