In conclusion, based on the responses of Spainguru’s Facebook group members, it appears that having student loans is unlikely to be a significant obstacle in obtaining a Spanish Non Lucrative Visa. However, it is important to note that the requirements and application process for the visa may vary depending on individual circumstances and the discretion of the Spanish authorities. It is always recommended to consult with a qualified immigration attorney or official embassy resources for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
