Alberto García López
Immigration lawyer · Bar no. 11.441 · ICA Málaga
Spanish immigration law, argued in Spanish and explained in English. Visas, residency, family routes, refusals and appeals, from an office on the Costa del Sol rather than a call centre.
Who signs what you read here
Every legal page on this site — the guides, the service pages, the FAQ answers — is reviewed by Alberto García López, registered nº 11.441 with the Ilustre Colegio de la Abogacía de Málaga. That is not a courtesy line. English-language content about Spanish immigration is full of thresholds copied from regulations that were repealed years ago, and the people who act on them pay for it in refused applications.
So when a page here states an income requirement, it is because the current regulation says so — and when the rules change, which in 2026 they have repeatedly, the page gets rewritten rather than left to age quietly.
Working in English, filing in Spanish
The consulates, the immigration office and the courts all work in Spanish, and so do the files. What changes here is the conversation: you get the reasoning, the deadlines and the honest odds in your own language, including when the honest answer is that the route you had in mind is the wrong one.
The other firms in the group
The same team runs two Spanish-language sites, each on its own domain so the audiences do not get mixed:
- Globalium ExtranjeríaThe Spanish and Brazilian-Portuguese side: arraigo routes, nationality, family reunification and appeals.
- Globalium HomologacionesRecognition of foreign healthcare degrees before the Spanish ministry — medicine, nursing, dentistry and the rest of the regulated professions.
