From the consulate to your terrace in Alicante
The visa itself is granted at the consulate before you leave home. Once you are happily installed in Alicante, the remaining pieces — the NIE, the TIE and your padrón registration — slot into place, and we coordinate every one of those local steps so nothing is forgotten.
In Alicante
In Alicante, the non-lucrative visa is handled through Oficina de Extranjería de Alicante; our local team prepares your file and books the cita previa so it clears first time. We help clients from El Campello to Santa Pola.
