We are a team of Digital expats

We help you get a visa, whether you are in North America or any other country of residence
The founder of the project is Maria Valenta, an Immigration Consultant with more than 12 years of experience.

She has lived in Canada for nearly two decades, has walked the path of an immigrant herself, and founded an immigration consulting agency. With her team, she has helped over 1,100 migrants find a new home and organize their lives.

Maria then moved to Spain and now helps others fulfill the dream of living in a sunny country by the sea.

A bit of history
Getting a digital nomad visa was not easy for me. I had to prove the necessary income, having a consulting agency in Canada. I basically had to show how I paid myself from the agency's profits.

One of the Spanish lawyers refused to help me collect and submit the documents; he was afraid of rejection. He only took on 100% successful cases to avoid ruining his reputation.

But I knew I could get this visa. Then I found a Spanish lawyer who helped me legally prove the income I needed, as well as the fact that I could run the company remotely.

Since then, we've been working as a team to help those who, like me once, dream of moving and living in a sunny country while travelling without limits.

I like to simplify people's lives by making the whole process of applying for documents and getting a visa fun, without unnecessary hassle and anxiety.
