Initial Review
Service: Guidance for residence permit and Spanish citizenship process
I hired David a few years ago to help with my residence permit in Spain and later for my Spanish citizenship process. Both times, the paperwork went through incredibly smoothly, and he was always available to answer my questions quickly. His professional yet approachable manner and fair pricing have made me recommend his services to others in Barcelona.

Service: Assisted with NIE setup, social security, freelancer registration, and tax filing
Having navigated the paperwork in Spain, I found Sergi to be a great help. He clearly explained in English the complexities and was always responsive and helpful. The cost might be more than what I was used to in the Netherlands, but it made sense given the extra paperwork involved.

Initial Review
Service: Managed prefecture procedures, handled nationality request, assisted with notary visit
Meeting Daniel at the Barcelona prefecture was really a stroke of luck. As a foreigner, navigating the prefecture and nationality procedures seemed daunting, but Moran Lobato's team was fantastic and handled everything smoothly for me. I didn't have to stress about anything beyond providing the necessary documents and would wholeheartedly recommend them for any future procedures.

Initial Review
Service: Provided legal advice for identity card renewal and coordinated Spanish citizenship approval
I was really concerned when I needed to renew my identification in Spain, especially after a recent divorce from an EU citizen. Thankfully, Cristina understood my situation, provided clear options, and guided me through the process. I'm genuinely relieved and grateful for her support in securing my residency and eventual citizenship approval.
