Paper Planes Immigration Services is a Barcelona-based consultancy specialising in Spanish immigration, visas and residency for individuals, families and businesses. We advise clients on planning and structuring their move to Spain, with clear strategy, realistic timelines and step-by-step guidance.

Paper Planes was founded by Alicia Arrua Ortiz, a legal professional with almost a decade of experience living and working in Spain and advising international clients on Spanish visas, residence permits and relocation procedures. Before launching Paper Planes, Alicia managed hundreds of cases through student visas, non-lucrative visas, digital nomad visas, highly qualified professional permits, family routes and other residency options. That experience confirmed that structure, clear communication and consistent follow-through are essential in any immigration process.

Having relocated herself more than once, Alicia understands that moving to Spain is never just paperwork. It affects careers, families and long-term plans. This perspective shapes how we work: we explain your options in plain language, set expectations honestly and stay with you from the first consultation until your procedure is resolved.

Because relocation often involves more than immigration law, Paper Planes works with a trusted network of specialists in tax, employment, corporate, real estate and compliance. We connect our clients with these professionals when needed. They share the same values that guide Paper Planes: technical rigour, ethical practice and, above all, strong communication skills so that complex issues are explained clearly and calmly.

Our goal is to turn complex Spanish immigration and residency procedures into a clear, manageable path, so you can focus on building your life or project in Spain while we take care of the legal structure behind it.
