  • Target relocation timeline
  • Any specific needs (DASP licensing, banking, real estate)
02

Strategy Call

Within 24 hours

We review your application and schedule a 30-minute call to map your specific situation. Every client is different — residency path, entity structure, and banking strategy depend on your citizenship, business type, and goals.

  • Entity structure advice (SAS vs. SA de CV)
  • Banking strategy based on your profile
  • Custom timeline and milestone plan

  • Clear deliverable list and timeline
  • Dedicated WhatsApp group with your concierge team

Company Formation

Week 1–3

Your local Terreno partner begins entity formation. SAS ($1 minimum capital) or SA de CV ($2,000), depending on your strategy. We handle the lawyers, the notary, the tax registration — everything.

  • Entity registration with Registro de Comercio
  • NIT (tax ID) application
  • Legal representative appointment
  • Corporate documents in English and Spanish
05

Banking & Compliance

Week 2–4

The hardest part of relocating — and the reason most people hire us. We leverage established banking relationships to open accounts that would otherwise take months of frustration or never happen at all.

  • Business bank account opening
  • Personal bank account (if relocating)
  • Compliance registration with relevant authorities
  • DASP license application (if applicable)
06

Visa & Residency

Week 2–6

Parallel to company formation, we begin your visa process. For most crypto entrepreneurs, the Digital Nomad Visa is fastest. For those planning permanent residence, we file for Rentista or Investor status.

  • Document preparation and translation
  • Application filing with Migración
  • Status tracking and follow-up
  • Temporary residency card pickup coordination
07

Housing & Setup

Week 3–6

If you're relocating, we place you in a furnished apartment in San Benito, Escalón, or Santa Elena — the safest and most convenient neighborhoods for international professionals.

  • Curated housing options in premium neighborhoods
  • Local SIM card and phone number
  • Mail forwarding address
  • Neighborhood orientation and safety briefing
