From day one to year six.

The Beckham regime is a six-year engagement, not a single filing. Here is how the timeline runs from your first day in Spain.

1. Day 0

   01

   Arrival in Spain

   You take up residence. Empadronamiento, NIE, opening a bank account. We don't need to be involved yet — but the sooner the assessment is taken, the safer the timeline.

2. Day ~30

   02

   Social security registration

   The six-month statutory clock for Modelo 149 starts on the day you are registered with the Spanish social security system. This is the date that matters — not your contract date, not your NIE date.

3. Day 1–5

   03

   Online assessment

   Ten-minute intake. Instant preliminary verdict from our deterministic rules engine. You can take it before you even arrive.

4. Within 48h

   04

   Lawyer-reviewed verdict

   A senior abogado reviews your file, flags edge cases against your specifics, and confirms the path forward in writing.

5. Within ~30 days

   05

   Modelo 149 filed

   We prepare and file the election with AEAT, well inside the six-month statutory window. We track the AEAT response and surface it in your case file.

6. Each spring

   06

   Annual Modelo 151

   Your annual return under the regime. We prepare it from the documents already in your case file — minimal back-and-forth.

7. Year six

   07

   Planned exit

   Twelve months ahead of the end of the regime, we sit down with you to plan the transition: stock-option timing, asset disposals, residency strategy.
