Since launching our new website and page, we’ve been working at unprecedented levels behind the scenes. It’s been an incredible whirlwind supporting so many of you, so if our social media has been a little quieter than usual, thank you for bearing with us.

We want to take a moment to say a heartfelt thank you to all our new clients and our long standing community. Your trust, your messages, your referrals, and your belief in what we do mean the world to us. You’re the reason Above Board in Spain exists.

As we head into the new year, we’re continuing to support clients with:
• Digital Nomad Visas
• Non‑Lucrative Visas
• TIEs
• NIEs
• …and so much more

And we’re proud to now be helping people from all over the world, from Bermuda and the US to India and beyond. 🌍

Here’s to a year of clarity, confidence, and getting things done above board. Thank you for being part of our journey. Love Karen and team x

A very big thank you to Anthony and Louise Jordan for the beautiful well selected hamper. Complete with treats for our little Bee. It has been a pleasure to be part of your journey and help you both become Residents.

One of the most rewarding parts of what we do is turning someone's uncertainty into relief. Yesterday, i had the chance to tell a client that despite their previous challenges with another company. Their renewal for year two and three of the non lucrative visa was approved. Firstly the tone of vioce secondly seeing them in person and the happiness etched on their faces said it all, and it’s moments like these that remind me why I do what I do.

MISINFORMATION ALERT!
Every week, we meet people who’ve been told they can’t move to Spain because they supposedly don’t meet the requirements. This kind of advice usually comes from a well-meaning neighbour or a "barstool solicitor"—someone with no real experience or qualifications.

The good news is that once they talk to us, they’re thrilled to find out that they actually can apply for residency or one of the many visas available.

So if you’ve been discouraged by non-professional advice, please get in touch or drop by our office for a free consultation. We’re here to help!

🌟 Did you know our founder, Karen, does far more than TIEs, visas, and paperwork? We are so proud of her...

Every month, alongside her day to day work, and often late at night she quietly takes on one or two social cases, helping individuals and families in our expat community access the support they truly need. Whether it’s social care, healthcare, education or financial guidance, she makes sure no one is left navigating the system alone, particularly when children or the elderly are involved.

The truth is, not everyone in Spain is thriving. Many are struggling behind the scenes. Life here can feel incredible when things are going well, but when challenges hit, it can quickly become lonely and isolating.

If you ever find yourself in need, please know you can reach out to us in confidence. We’ll do our best to guide you towards the right support. And let’s all keep looking out for one another because community is what makes life in Spain stronger, brighter, and more connected.

The 90-day rule is a matter for the European Union and it is highly unlikely that it would be scrapped.
