Hi,
can anyone advise someone who is reasonably priced, to deal with us obtaining our visa. We reach the 5yr mark in December 2026. Some we have phoned are asking 250€ each. Which I know is over the top.
Appreciate any comments/advice.
Go to a local Gestor. They will book the appointment and should charge considerably less.
We've literally just done ours. Pick the cards up in 4 weeks time
The only actual cash outlay for this is a €12 or so fee!

Super helpful member
The following link provides all the information needed to apply for longterm residence. You can do this yourself without extortionate outlay:

The only problem is, as always, is getting the appointment. That should improve now that Summer is over and the asylum amnesty lot have mainly been processed. It is said, though not exactly proved, that gestors and other companies get appointments quicker but others have just said it's a matter of attempting to get the appointment at various times of the day.
As pointed out, the cost is around 12 euro so anyone trying to charge 250 euro each just to make an appointment, possibly run you to Alicante (but the parking there is very good anyway), fill in a form (and there are lots of examples around) is a bit much. I would think that maybe 70 to 80 euro would be more like it and they will still be making a good living on that.
