Iberia File

Covers Spanish residency — from filing the first application to renewing status once you're already there. Pays closer attention than most to the gap between what a program's rules say on paper and what consulates or extranjería offices actually ask for, so nuances and exceptions get more space than generic procedure summaries. Readers get a sequence of steps and a checklist of what to sort out before departure, not a promise of an easy move. It walks through the difference between a student visa and digital nomad residency, empadromiento, self-employed (autónomo) status, and why residency rights only fully apply for the first six months after approval. Related ground gets covered too — double taxation between Russia and Spain, the requirement for Russian citizens to notify the Interior Ministry of a foreign residence permit, and the faster path to citizenship through giving birth in the country. There's no document-filing service here, only rules and cases explained.
