Spain

For years Spain's headline product for many agencies was the residency-by-investment golden visa. That ended: on 3 April 2025 Organic Law 1/2025 abolished the programme, closing the property and investment routes to new applicants (existing holders and pre-deadline applications were protected). This is worth stating plainly to clients and verifying current — the demand didn't disappear, it moved.

Where it moved is residence permits: the non-lucrative visa for the financially self-sufficient, the digital-nomad visa introduced under the 2023 Startup Law, family reunification, and arraigo (roots-based) routes that the 2025 immigration regulation reshaped. Agencies that model these as distinct application types keep pace as rules shift.

Beyond residence, Spain draws large numbers of international students and a steady stream of work-permit and student-visa applicants — with the added wrinkle that many students later modify their status to a work permit from inside Spain. That means an agency often manages a client across more than one route over time, which rewards a system that keeps a single record per applicant.

Much of Spain's paperwork runs through gestores and immigration lawyers. VisaCRM doesn't replace them — it gives whoever runs the file a clean, branded platform: secure documents, deadline tracking and dual status tracking so nothing slips between the applicant, the gestor and the authorities.

VisaCRM builds and runs the whole platform on your domain, branded as your agency. EUR is natively supported, with checkout via Stripe, PayPal and Ryft. Spanish clients increasingly expect Bizum and card payments; Bizum and other local gateways are supported on a Bespoke engagement so you convert more of the clients who reach checkout.

You also get self-serve applicant portals, multi-channel comms, a partner portal for sub-agent and referral networks, and analytics on revenue and approval rates by route. Want your own brand on everything? See white-labelling a visa platform and the pricing tiers.
