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."

1. You are a Name, Not a Case Number

At big firms, your file is often passed between departments. At JURO, you have one dedicated English-speaking partner who knows your story, your kids' names, and your timeline. You can text them on WhatsApp when you're stressed.

2. We Don't Charge for "Easy" Stuff

Many firms charge €200+ 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, not just the legal filing.

3. Speed Matters

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.
