We can't thank Alex, Agustina, and Sofia enough for all their help obtaining our visas and our apartment. The entire process was daunting, but they walked us through step-by-step. We had a lot of questions but they were so incredibly kind and patient. ¡Muchas gracias!Posted on Google![]()

I am now a spanish resident on the digital nomad visa thanks to Vera, Carolina and Pilar from Carbray. Vera and Carolina were incredibly supportive in helping me get together the documents I needed, meticulously spotting missing signatures and communicating clearly throughout the entire process. Pilar supported with my successful application for Beckham's law. Due to a misunderstanding in how long I had to apply, she took this on very last minute and even spoke on the phone spanish officials at one of my appointments to make it happen in time. I would definitely recommend. Thanks all 🧡Posted on Google![]()

I had a fantastic experience working with Nerea for help on my visa, and will be returning to work with her for future renewals. Carbray International has a very helpful and knowledgeable team and came highly recommended. I also highly recommend them, especially for digital nomad and other specialty visa situations. Gracias!Posted on Google![]()

Carbray International has been extremely helpful in helping us obtain residency in Spain and getting our Spanish passports. The process would have been much more difficult (and possibly impossible) without their guidance. We cannot thank them enough for their guidance and patience throughout the process. I highly recommend partnering with them and tapping into their services. A special thank you and shout out to Alex Parfen and Sofia Grondona of the Carbray International team!
