Resetly — fast and caring service
My story may sound familiar. I lived in Finland for three years, but over time I realized that it was not my place. I needed a change. That's where the Resetly team came to the rescue. They consulted with me and helped me choose the best option for moving. Spain was the perfect choice. The Resetly staff made the whole process quick and stress-free, they were always in touch, helping and explaining details. Today I am grateful to Resetly for their professionalism and support. While living in Spain, in the Basque country, I realized that I had found my place and my home. It was not just a move, it was a real life transformation. And maybe my experience will be the little push that will inspire others to make bold changes.
The most important thing for me was the transparency of conditions, clarity and speed of obtaining a visa.
Thank you very much to the guys, they answered any questions and were always on the phone
This is a very cool opportunity if you need to get a residence permit in no time, I recommend it.
The guys work very fast, thank you!
Recently I was thinking about moving to France. I decided to do it on my own, without agencies, and turned to Resetly service for a detailed plan. I had a lot of questions about the process, my chances and the necessary documents. The guys answered all of them. And also France has a complicated taxation system, but they helped me to understand and choose the right option. They also sent useful material about accounts, renting real estate and co-working spaces. I am very satisfied and recommend this service.
A couple of months ago, I started researching how to move to Spain with my company. I contacted the Resetly team, and we discussed the overall strategy for my case. The guys helped me prepare documents and a business plan. They really know what they're doing, so I highly recommend working with them.
Really help to bring that much needed peace of mind to all the issues related to residence permits and relocation in general. Not once during the process of interaction did I have a feeling of uncertainty or insecurity.
Even after the main issues have been resolved, the speed of answers and attitude remains the same: ready to advise with a pure heart, I think it is almost impossible to find an alternative with the same approach
I want to express my gratitude to the team for their invaluable support. From my first steps in Turkey and now in Spain - I have always been able to count on their help. Thanks to the Resetly.io service, I now have a Digital Nomad Spanish residence permit. The team is constantly in touch and supports me every step of the way, clearly explaining what documents are needed and when. They really do a great job. Thank you so much!
I decided to move to Spain on a Digital Nomad visa. I contacted Resetly for advice on my relocation strategy. I wanted to know what documents to gather, what to submit to ease my anxiety. Got a step by step plan to do everything on my own. Guys gave details for filing, deadlines that you can't find online. Sent helpful relocation guides, contacts for renting real estate, opening a bank account and co-working spaces. Everything you need in a new place. After the consultation, I have a detailed plan that I can follow on my own. Recommend. The guys are great to work with, thank you very much, now I am closer to my goal.

- What are Residence Permits and Permanent Residency?
A residence permit is a document that allows you to legally reside in another country for a specified period. Typically, it is granted for one to several years, depending on the purpose of your stay, such as work, study, or family reasons. It's important to note that an residence permit needs to be renewed periodically, and you must meet certain conditions set by the host country to maintain it.
Permanent residency is a status that allows you to live in another country indefinitely. Unlike an residence permit, permanent residency does not require regular renewal, and the holder enjoys almost the same rights as the country's citizens, with exceptions such as the right to vote in national elections and some other civil privileges. Generally, to obtain permanent residency, you need to live in the country with an residence permit for a certain number of years and meet specific requirements.

- What is the difference between a residence permit and citizenship?
A residence permit allows you to legally live in another country for a certain period, usually from one to several years, and requires regular renewal. A residence permit grants the right to live and, depending on the type, to work, but does not provide all the rights of citizens.
Citizenship, on the other hand, is for life, does not require renewal, and grants a full set of rights and privileges, including the right to vote and access social services. Citizens are required to abide by all the country's laws and pay taxes, and they may also have military obligations.
