For the online acquisition the applicant needs to sign the power of attorney (POA) in the Spanish embassy in his country of residence. MICS will provide required documents to complete this procedure at the pertinent Spanish embassy.Then, the MICS processing team will provide the applicant with a precise list of civil and financial documents required by the government.
The MICS legal team will review the documents and the receipt of property payment and submit the complete application to the Spanish government’s Ministry of Economy. At this stage, MICS’ second professional fee will be due.
