What our customers say
I was initially overwhelmed by the complexities of the Spanish digital nomad visa application - however, MoveWise made the entire process stress-free. Pablo and Raffaele were incredibly supportive, guiding me through each step and addressing all my concerns.
There were a few unexpected hurdles along the way, including multiple rounds of government correspondence. MoveWise handled these challenges with expertise, ensuring that my application remained on track. Their knowledge and responsiveness were invaluable and I cannot recommend them enough!

We are a family of five, and with the help and guidance of the Movewise team, we just received our Digital Nomad Visa APPROVAL! If you are considering obtaining a Spain Visa, do yourself a favor and hire a quality team to manage the process. Raffaele and his team are very professional and understand exactly what is needed. They handle everything. We highly recommend Movewise.
Scott, US

We would HIGHLY recommend MoveWise. From the moment we met with the initial representative, we knew we had made the right choice. He was very knowledgeable on the subject of Digital Nomad Visas and took the time to understand our situation thoroughly and answer all of our questions. At that point, our case was handed over to Raffaele who turned out to be incredible. He guided us through every step of the process and went above and beyond to ensure that it went smoothly and quickly. We found out about a month ago that our visas were approved and we are now living out our dream in Spain. Plus, their fees are less than most other visa agencies and they have a 💯 money back guarantee. It honestly doesn’t get any better than that.

I had an excellent experience with MoveWise while applying for our digital nomad visa for Spain, thanks to Raffaele. His expertise, dedication, and willingness to go the extra mile made the process smooth and stress-free. Raffaele was always available to answer questions, offering invaluable guidance and support throughout. His professional approach and personal investment in my success were truly remarkable. I highly recommend MoveWise and Raffaele to anyone seeking assistance with their visa process. Their service is truly top-notch.

After an expensive, failed attempt last year with a supposedly specialist law firm who once again wanted to charge me an enormous amount, regardless of the result, I put my faith in Movewise, firstly attracted by their low cost and no visa no fee policy. However, once we got moving with the process it became clear that these guys really knew what they were doing (and how poor the law firm was last year). They were hugely knowledgeable, always friendly and approachable, answering all my worried text messages and queries. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them if you are going through this process. 6 stars!
Neil, UK

The best decision I made was to use MOVEWISE for my DNV. Raphael was professional and friendly from start to finish , explained things simply where I needed , and I obtained the visa within 3 weeks of its official submittal . I would NEVER have been able to carry this out myself and am pleased to have opted for the full service - worth every penny !
