Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need health insurance to get a Spanish visa?
Yes. Nearly all Spanish visa types — including the Non-Lucrative Visa, Digital Nomad Visa, and Student Visa — require you to show proof of private health insurance with no copays that is valid in Spain. Our vetted Adeslas agent provides plans accepted by every Spanish consulate.
How much does an immigration lawyer cost for a Spanish visa?
Initial consultations typically start around €150, while full-service visa packages (document preparation, application filing, and follow-up) usually range from €500 to €2,000+ depending on the visa type and complexity. Our vetted lawyers offer transparent pricing upfront.
What is the Digital Nomad Visa and who qualifies?
Spain’s Digital Nomad Visa (DNV) allows remote workers employed by or contracting for companies outside Spain to live and work in Spain for up to 5 years. You need to prove remote employment, sufficient income, and health insurance. Our immigration lawyers handle the full application process.
Are Spainguru’s partner services free?
Some are. Services like health insurance quotes, moving quotes, financial consultations, and rental browsing are completely free. Paid services like legal consultations, translations, and tax filings have their own pricing — we’ve added approximate costs where possible on this page.
How does Spainguru vet its partners?
Every partner goes through a four-step vetting process: we verify their track record, gather feedback from our 150,000+ member community, test their responsiveness, and evaluate their ethical standards and pricing transparency. Partners can be removed if they stop meeting our standards.
How long does it take to get a Spanish visa?
Processing times vary by visa type and consulate. Non-Lucrative Visas typically take 1–3 months from application to approval. Digital Nomad Visas can take 1–2 months. Student Visas are usually processed in 4–8 weeks. Our vetted immigration lawyers can help you prepare a complete application to avoid delays caused by missing documents.
Can I work in Spain on a Non-Lucrative Visa?
No. The Non-Lucrative Visa (NLV) does not permit any form of employment or self-employment in Spain. You must demonstrate sufficient passive income or savings to support yourself. If you need to work remotely, the Digital Nomad Visa is the appropriate option. Our immigration lawyers can advise which visa best fits your situation.
What documents do I need for a Spanish visa application?
Common requirements include a valid passport, completed visa application form, passport-sized photos, proof of health insurance, proof of financial means, a clean criminal background check (apostilled), and a medical certificate. Specific requirements vary by visa type and consulate. Our vetted lawyers and document services (sworn translators, apostille providers) can ensure everything is prepared correctly.
Do I need a Spanish bank account to move to Spain?
While not always required for the visa application itself, a Spanish bank account is essential once you arrive — for paying rent, utilities, and setting up direct debits. Some consulates also require proof of a Spanish bank account. Our banking partners can help you open an account remotely before you move.
