Question
Starting to get ready to renew our family’s non lucrative Spain visa (years 2 and 3) for myself, my husband and our child. From the Migraciones page, I don’t see showing marriage certificates and birth certificates to prove family relationships. Is this not required for renewal, or am I missing something?
