  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.
