We got an exceptional service from Paola Padron for the process of Digital Nomad Visa, from the very beginning until the end. Paola had been attentive and wonderful. She is responsive. I never waited for more than 24 hours for any question that I asked. She always provided clear answers, she was trustable, left no room for doubt. We started working with her and with Entre Tramites in may; we were guided very carefully during the document collecting process that lasted from june until july. Then began the official translation process that we did with them. They were very careful to each detail before the submission of documents. The process resulted with success and my partner, as the main applicant, had received his DNV. Since we were very happy to work with Paola, we also decided to do the TIE application with her. Now as the dependent, I am waiting for my own resuelto to come and she is still continuing to guide us navigate the Spanish bureaucracy. It is 100% worth it. The agent you hire is very very important because this process is not fast; it takes time. A good agent is everything. MUCHAS GRACIAS PAOLA PADRON! Muchas gracias Entre Tramites!![]()

I really enjoyed my initial visa consultation with Katherine Nebrijo. She was very educated on the immigration options that would be best for me, and referred me to a tax professional on her team as well. While this was a free consultation, I plan to use Entre Tramites for the rest of my process. I was referred by a friend who also had a great experience with them.![]()

FAQ
General
Info
No. It is not valid when the purpose of the trip is to receive scheduled medical treatment outside Spain, in which case, the National Social Security Institute (INSS) must issue the corresponding form, following a favourable report from the Health Service.
If you move your normal residence to another EU Member State or to the United Kingdom, Norway, Liechtenstein, Iceland or Switzerland, you must fill in form S1 instead of using the European Health Insurance Card to receive medical treatment in your new country of residence.
The card covers medical expenses incurred during the trip due to unforeseen health problems. You can receive public health care if you have an accident, fall ill, become ill with a chronic illness or go into labour.
Será atendido por un médico, en un hospital o un centro de atención sanitaria, como si fuera un residente más del país, con los servicios que se presten allí.
Además de la atención, incluye la prescripción y dispensación de medicamentos, también en iguales condiciones a las de los residentes en el país.
You can only claim compensation for any reimbursable advances you may be charged, not for co-payments.
This reimbursement can be requested in the country where you receive health care. If this is not possible, you can also apply for reimbursement in Spain by applying to the social security authorities, either electronically or in person, by filling in this form.
Refusal is unlikely, a valid European Health Insurance Card must be accepted by all countries included in its scope of coverage.
