Carbray International Reviews 

Carbray was instrumental in helping me get my digital nomad visa. I worked with Evelyn who went above and beyond to help me. When the government asked for hard to get documents, she brainstormed solutions and helped figure out strategies which ultimately ended in a favorable resolution. So grateful for all of her (and Carbray's) help.

I hired this firm, specifically Dunia Fàbrega who was exceptional, to help me obtain my EU long-term residence permit, one of the hardest permits to get in Spain, and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome.

From the very beginning they were incredibly fast and responsive. They were always willing to jump on a quick call whenever I had a worry or concern, and they answered all my questions with great care and attention. They helped me think through every step in a way that made me feel safe and secure throughout the process.

The results speak for themselves: I received my residency permit with no requests for additional information, and in less than the average processing time. I recommend this firm without hesitation to anyone who needs help with immigration matters in Spain.

The services of Carbray International are generally good. They helped me successfully obtained/renewed my residence card. They are professional and very familiar with all the required procedures. However, I do have a few things to mention, so that they could continuously improve:
1. The accounting team sent a few duplicated invoices and deducted from my account, even though they have returned the fund to me after a few rounds of clarification. But I hope they can avoid this in the future, just by some internal alignment and investigating to some historical communications.
2. The visa team has put some old information on the application forms, as they used my old passport while I have changed a passport because the old was expired. I told them the first time but a second time they used the old information again. It could have caused unexpected result if I did not check the forms carefully myself.
3. A previous employee of the company has quit, but it seems no one has taken up his work. I asked the tax team (the previous employee) to help me submit the application of tax payment. But since he left, no one is following up, and therefore I paid my taxes later than the required time period, and resulted in some liquidation damages.

These issues have happened but finally the result was good enough. So I still rate the company and their service as good and I may recommend them to anyone who tries to obtain a visa or residency in Spain.

Finally I have to thank Ms. Ana and Mr. Alex for their great efforts, esp. on making an appointment for fingerprint registry. I have tried it myself so I understand how difficult it is to secure a slot on the website of the national police. I really feel grateful for them to find me an appointment in time, as I cannot stay in Spain for too long.

We paid €2,400 for assistance obtaining a Spanish Digital Nomad Visa and Residence/Work Permit, as explicitly stated in our service agreement.

Instead, Carbray repeatedly changed the proposed visa strategy and type of visa. We ultimately did not receive the assistance we had contracted and paid for.

We requested a full refund, which was refused.

Very disappointing experience. I would not recommend their services.

An outrageous experience — think twice before trusting Carbray with your money

Alex Parfen, Immigration Consultant and Team Leader at Carbray International, turned my Spanish Digital Nomad Visa application into an extremely disappointing experience.

I hired Carbray in October 2025 and paid 60% upfront. In December, I asked to postpone the application until summer due to personal circumstances. Alex explicitly agreed and quoted an additional €1,000 to include my partner as a family member.

When I contacted him in July 2026 to resume the process, now with my wife, I was suddenly told I needed to pay another €3,000, on top of my existing advance. Their payment policy had also conveniently changed to 100% upfront.

The justification? Apparently, they were "starting everything from scratch."

No application had ever been submitted. The postponement had been explicitly approved. Yet my substantial advance suddenly seemed to count for almost nothing.

I understand that documents expire and additional work costs money. What I cannot accept is a company changing the financial expectations so dramatically after taking a significant advance and agreeing to a postponement.

I ultimately lost all confidence in Carbray and decided to walk away.

My advice: think very carefully before paying this company anything upfront. Get every condition, additional fee, and postponement policy in writing.

In my experience, Carbray was far more interested in collecting additional payments than maintaining a fair and transparent relationship with an existing client.

One star only because zero isn't an option.

My husband and I had a brilliant experience with Carbray: they were efficient, quick and always polite, and took our needs into account. A reliable service – highly recommended! And a particular thank to Iñaki who followed us for the entire process!

From start to finish my journey was made simple and straightforward
I was very fortunate to have had the expertise and professionalism of Bence Altner helping me through this process 🙂
I applied for a residency visa as my husband is Spanish and now living permanently in Spain.
Not only his patience but his kind manner is a credit to this company.
Thank you Bence for your kindness and patience along this journey.
I recommend wholeheartedly Carbray International for any Immigration service you require 🏆🏆⭐️

I can recommend Carbray international for your Spanish residency in our case NLV .. we have used them many times over the years and they have now secured our 5 year residency (TIE ) .. Magdalena and her team in Barcelona have helped us every step of the way and I do recommend this as there are lots of things we did not understand and they explain and deal with these legal issues with no problem.. Thanks again Carbray 👍👍

Without the help of Dunia, I would not have been able to complete my student visa process. Dunia was very organized and knowledgeable regarding the process. I woke up every morning with communication from her for around 4 months straight. Applying for my visa was super easy as she had everything prepared for me. I woudl 100% reccommend her and the firm for any immigration services.

I was scammed by this company after they contracted my Visa process to Nomad Relocate. The lawyer made mistakes and the process ended up costing thousands of dollars, meanwhile, they did not fulfill the any of the contracted services for my Visa and refuse to respond to my attempts to contact them for a resolution.

Response to Carbray's Message on 10/07/2026:
I have sent several messages since August that your team has not responded to in attempt to resolve these issues.

Magdalena and her team were extremely helpful in navigating the residency process, ensuring that all of my documentation was in order and that I was prepared for the appointments along the way. It was a great comfort to have expertise at my side through it all!

I had a great experience with Carbray International Law Firm, especially with Mayra, who helped me throughout my application for a Spanish long-term visa.

Mayra was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, and was always quick to respond whenever I had a question. She guided me through the whole process step by step and made what could have been a complicated process feel much easier.

I’m very grateful for all her help and support and would definitely recommend Mayra and Carbray International Law Firm to anyone needing assistance with a Spanish visa application.

After some frustrations with another firm, I contacted the lawyers at Carbray International who then guided me through the process of obtaining my TIE card. From the initial video interview to the follow-up months later after I obtained the card, they were uniformly clear, courteous and professional. I especially appreciated their help in getting appointments and in dealing with some complications that arose alone the way.

The team at Carbray is excellent to work with, they're professional, transparent, and keep the open communication with you throughout the application process.

They also guided me along the way and helped ensure me that everything was going to be ok - let's face it, navigating Visa process is always tricky no matter how prepared you are.

I also met them in person during the application process, which helped earn more credibility from me. I highly recommend working with them!

I would give a NEGATIVE star rating if it were possible. They have been "representing" me for nearly TEN YEARS on a single, uncomplicated case with no end in sight. They just took my money and now there is only a voicemail when telephoned and no response to emails. DO NOT USE THIS FIRM!

Agustina is amazing! She knows her stuff, is super responsive, kind and gets things sorted. À pleasure working with her and Carbray!

Excellent experience working with Dayana from start to finish. She was professional, responsive, and incredibly helpful throughout the whole process. Everything was handled smoothly and efficiently, and her support made things very easy for us. I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for reliable and friendly assistance. Thank you again, Dayana!

Hi, I have started Portugal D7 program with Carbray team already paid the amount in advance and now I am not getting any response or any reply from the staff. It has been almost year and I have received 0% progress.

Dayana Cabrera provided an exceptional service supporting me in obtaining the necessary visa for a secondment to my company's office in Madrid.

Dayana was extremely helpful, ensuring that all relevant requirements were communicated clearly to ensure that the visa application could be submitted in a timeous fashion.

Dayana also promptly dealt with follow-up queries raised by the Spanish authorities and the visa was successfully issued very shortly thereafter.

All in all, it was a pleasure to deal with Dayana and the team at Carbray International. Would highly recommend their services for situations just like this!

The service was outstanding both Sophia and Alex were attentive and thorough. I would recommend them to anybody
