From India to Spain: Navian Law Announces Strategic Collaboration with India’s Vidhisastras Advocates & Solicitors for Seamless International Mobility

This collaboration creates an integrated legal pathway, managing critical exit procedures in India and entry requirements in Spain. 

Cross-border mobility works best when the origin and destination move in step. That is the premise of the collaboration between Navian Law in Spain and Vidhisastras Advocates & Solicitors in India. We operate as a coordinated team so that pre-departure actions in India and immigration and settlement steps in Spain advance on the same timeline, under a single strategy, with shared accountability. Clients engage one combined team that plans, prepares, and executes a pathway across both jurisdictions without having to manage two separate firms.

At the outset, we conduct a joint discovery to understand goals, timing, and dependencies. We then issue one integrated plan setting out applications, evidence, legalizations, bank readiness, corporate authorizations, and target dates in India and Spain. A shared case lead remains responsible for the full journey and for every family member or corporate stakeholder. Tasks are performed by the firm best placed to deliver them, while progress is tracked on a shared timeline and communications remain clear and consolidated.

Day to day, document readiness is sequenced so that Indian certifications and legalizations are complete when Spanish filing windows open. Banking and tax steps in India are aligned with evidentiary standards in Spain. Applications in Spain are filed only when the origin side is ready. Post-approval formalities in Spain proceed while remaining origin-country items are closed, allowing personal and corporate transitions to complete without gaps. The same discipline applies to renewals and status changes, where origin and destination requirements are kept in step to protect continuity of residence and work.

This approach matters because two legal systems create moving parts that can pull against each other. The joint model reduces that risk by aligning requirements where they intersect, inter alia tax status, capital movement, corporate approvals, employment terms, and family documentation. The outcome is fewer reworks and avoidable refusals, and more certainty around start dates, onboarding, and investment milestones. A single point of accountability ensures that questions are answered once, decisions are taken with both legal systems in view, and responsibility for outcomes is clear.

Different client profiles benefit in specific ways. Independent professionals and digital nomads need contracts, income evidence, and clear tax positioning; the Indian file is updated to reflect the new reality while the Spanish file demonstrates lawful activity and financial sufficiency. Highly qualified professionals joining Spanish employers require precise timing between Indian exit steps and Spanish onboarding; credential legalization, employer documentation, and closure or transfer of benefits are coordinated so start dates remain realistic. Intra-company transferees may remain on Indian payroll while working in Spain; assignment terms, corporate approvals, and social security and tax analysis are brought into one plan to reduce double taxation and compliance gaps. Indian companies establishing in Spain must meet Spanish registry standards while observing Indian outbound rules; governance documents and certified extracts are prepared for Spain alongside approvals and banking readiness in India. Investors and founders require lawful capital movement and clear source-of-funds materials; transfers are structured under applicable Indian rules and documentation is prepared to meet Spanish expectations for clarity and completeness.

Relocation is considered complete only when the family is settled. Family documentation is built into the primary plan from day one, with procurement and Apostille of marriage and birth certificates in India scheduled early so that dependent filings in Spain are not delayed. This coordination prevents last-minute surprises and keeps the move on schedule for everyone.

Both firms work under aligned conflict checks, confidentiality undertakings, and data handling standards. Information is exchanged only as necessary for the case, records are maintained carefully, and audit trails are kept for key filings and decisions. This protects client information while enabling effective teamwork across borders.

With Navian Law and Vidhisastras Advocates & Solicitors working together, clients receive a coordinated legal team operating across two jurisdictions through one plan, one timeline, and clear accountability end to end.
