Scope, quote, and next steps
- Long-term residence is not automatic after a number of years; continuity, absences, criminal records, and other requirements must be reviewed.
- The full scope is quoted after reviewing the history. Fees, certificates, translations, legalizations, and third-party costs are separate unless agreed.
- The Administration grants the authorization and makes the decision. Approval and a specific timeline cannot be guaranteed.
- The later TIE may require personal attendance and an additional action that will be explained separately if applicable.
- The initial appointment costs €35. If you later contract the full service, that amount is deducted from the service quote.

Frequently asked questions about the service
What is long-term residence?
It is an authorization that, when granted, allows residence and work in Spain under the applicable conditions. Your history and situation must be checked against the route.
Is five years in Spain enough?
Not necessarily. Lawful and continuous residence, absences, documents, and other requirements must be reviewed.
Which form is used?
Long-term residence applications are normally linked to form EX-11. We check the current version and case documents before filing.
What happens after a favorable decision?
Later steps and TIE issuance normally need to be coordinated within the applicable period. We explain that phase based on the decision and your situation.
Can absences affect the application?
Yes. Dates and length of absences may matter. That is why we reconstruct the history before saying the route fits.
Does the initial appointment include the full service?
No. The appointment assesses the route and defines the work. Preparation and case management are contracted under their own scope and quote.
Can the service and support be handled online?
Document review, preparation, and coordination can be handled online. If the procedure requires personal attendance or action, we explain how it fits within the contracted service.
