Terms of service

01

Scope of Relocasa's services

Relocasa operates as an online marketplace that connects individuals seeking to relocate to Spain with independent, licensed Spanish lawyers (abogados) and legal service providers.

Through our platform, we provide: an eligibility assessment tool, a directory of legal experts, a consultation booking system, a document collection workflow, and payment facilitation services.

Relocasa itself is a platform operator and marketplace. It is not a law firm, does not provide legal advice, and does not represent any government authority.

02

Legal services are provided by independent licensed lawyers

All legal services — including immigration advice, document preparation, visa applications, and legal representation — are provided exclusively by independent, licensed Spanish lawyers who are registered with the relevant Spanish bar association (Colegio Profesional).

Relocasa is not a law firm. We do not employ lawyers, we do not hold ourselves out as providing legal services, and we do not control or supervise the legal work performed by the lawyers on our platform.

Each lawyer on our platform is engaged by you directly as an independent service provider. Relocasa's role is limited to facilitating the connection and managing the platform infrastructure.

03

Outcomes are decided by Spanish government authorities

Decisions on visa applications, residency permits, and any other immigration-related outcomes are made solely by the relevant Spanish government authorities (e.g., Instituto de Emigrantes y Asuntos Extranjeros, Oficina de Extranjería).

Relocasa and the lawyers on our platform cannot guarantee any particular outcome, timeline, or approval of any application.

Any information provided by our eligibility checker, our experts, or on our website is indicative and does not constitute legal advice or a guarantee of eligibility.

04
