Why Expats Switch to JURO

We speak to dozens of clients every month who started their journey with big traditional firms but felt "lost in the system." Here is the reality of the difference:

1. You are a Name, Not a File Number

At big firms, your file is often passed between departments—one person for the visa, another for tax, another for the NIE. At JURO, you have one dedicated English-speaking partner who knows your full story.

2. No "Billable Hour" Anxiety

Many traditional firms charge €100+ just to book a TIE appointment or review a rental contract. We consider that part of the relocation service. Our fixed fees cover the entire journey.

3. Digital Speed

Because we use a digital-first approach (no physical paper shuffling), our applications are typically submitted 3-5 days faster than traditional firms. In the race for residency appointments, those days count.

Already paid a deposit elsewhere?

If you are unhappy with the lack of communication from your current provider, show us your invoice. We will credit up to €100 of your lost deposit against our fees to help you switch to JURO.
