Specialised in the Digital Nomad Visa, the Non-Lucrative Visa and Business Visas
Raquel Carmona Flaquer is a Spanish immigration lawyer specialised in the Digital Nomad Visa, the Non-Lucrative Visa and business visas (Start-up & Entrepreneur). As co-founder and lead lawyer of MigratioLex, she plans each move with a global mobility and tax residence approach.
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.

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.
Spain is home: she was born, raised and educated here (Universitat de Girona, Universitat Pompeu Fabra), with trusted local contacts across administrations, notaries and advisors.
Four years living in France and a close, ongoing relationship with the country, its administration and its professionals.
One year working in a corporate environment in Malta, one of Europe's international business hubs.
One year living in Norway as an Erasmus law student at the University of Bergen.
A close, trusted local network in the Dominican Republic and strong ties with the country.
Spain has a double tax treaty with each of these countries. Where you are tax resident on day one shapes what you pay for years.
