Honestly, when we first started looking into the Digital Nomad Visa process, I thought we could just DIY it — how hard could it be, right? Turns out, Spanish bureaucracy has a way of humbling you.
Thankfully, we decided to avail of Lakbyte's service instead, and it was one of the best decisions we made. Atty. Marian and her team handled everything for us — the paperwork, the requirements, the back-and-forth with the process — so we didn't have to stress over a single form. That's exactly why I only recommend them to anyone asking me about the legal side of moving to Spain. I'm not a lawyer, and I've experienced firsthand what a difference it makes to have someone who actually knows the system handle it for you.
Lakbyte was founded by Atty. Marian, a Philippine lawyer with extensive experience in international law and immigration — from corporate law at a top Philippine firm to serving as Associate General Counsel for a Singapore-based company overseeing legal operations across 30 countries.
Driven by a passion for helping others and an eye for the rise of remote work, she founded Lakbyte to help Filipinos and other global digital nomads secure residency in Spain through the Digital Nomad Visa and other visa programs.
To date, Lakbyte has helped over 800 digital nomads from the Philippines, US, Australia, Canada, the UK, and beyond obtain their visas and residence authorizations.
