About Raquel

Legal excellence, with a global perspective

Raquel's practice focuses on international professionals, entrepreneurs, company owners, investors and families who want to establish themselves legally in Spain.

She is specialised in three routes: the Digital Nomad Visa, the Non-Lucrative Visa and business visas (the Start-up and Entrepreneur Visa). She also advises on EU family residence, highly qualified professionals and Spanish nationality.

Her approach goes beyond the application itself. Every immigration decision affects tax residence, Social Security, corporate structures and a client's long-term plans in Spain, so she analyses those consequences before the file is submitted, not after.

The MigratioLex approach
Global mobility & tax planning

Five countries. One global mobility strategy.

Raquel is Spanish, born and raised in Spain, and has also studied, worked or built close professional ties in four other countries. That first-hand experience is the foundation of her global mobility and tax planning work: she knows what a move looks like from both sides of the border, and plans residence, tax residence and Social Security before you relocate, when there is still room to optimise.
