Hi all, I'm just in the Visa application process and doing it myself.  I simply used the email address on the Manchester Consulate website and they replied promptly with the date and time I had asked for.  They attach a list of everything you will need to take with you together with use...

...ful links.  They confirmed that an S1 is acceptable in place of Insurance and my experience of asking for an S1 was similarly prompt.  I am doing all this from Spain and flying back for the two appointments having almost completed my 90 day allowance.  I hope this is helpful!

Hi,

Did it by myself…..plus a lot of reading and guidance from posts on here. 
Actually, though I was initially freaked out by it, it was a relatively straightforward process.

The fact that certain things had to be Apostilled and then Officially translated caused me concerns that it would be done within the three month timeline but the thing that I thought would be the most straightforward - the Doctor’s Certificate - was the biggest challenge!

I must say that Manchester Consulate we’re very helpful.

When requesting an appointment at the Consulate an advice sheet is sent with confirmation so I guess they would forward to you this form:http://www.exteriores....

...gob.es/Consulados/MANCHESTER/es/Documents/ENG%20NON%20LUCRATIVE%20VISA.pdf click on the link "medical certificate" which leads to more advice.  In Spain you simply go to a private clinic and they stamp and sign the certificate for a fee.

Thank you for this. I think we will need to find somewhere to stamp it here.

MEDICAL INSURANCE - S1 IS ACCEPTABLE IF YOU ARE OF RETIREMENT AGE:https://www.gov.uk/guidance/healthcare-in-spain-including-the-balearic-and-canary-islands

POLICE CHECK - apply onlinehttps://www.acro.police.uk/police_certificates.aspx

MEDICAL CHECK CAN BE DONE IN SPAIN EITHER USING A “MEDICAL CHECK FORM” AVAILABLE FROM THE PHARMACIES FOR 3euros OR DOCUMENT BELOW (I USED BOTH) IF DONE IN SPAIN IT DOESN’T NEED TO BE TRANSLATED OR APOSTILLED. THE FEE FOR THE MEDICAL VARIES, I PAID 50.00.

TRANSLATIONS: CAN BE DONE REMOTELY.  IN SPAIN I USED [email protected].  THE ABOVE* CONTAINS HELPFUL LINKS FOR UK translators.

POLICE CHECK APOSTLE https://www.hagueapostille.co.uk ALL DONE ONLINE.

IMPORTANT NOTES

BEAR IN MIND THERE ARE 3 STAGES TO CONSIDER: 

FIRSTLY, THE POLICE CHECK AND MEDICAL CHECK

SECONDLY THE APOLSTILLE/S 

THIRDLY THE TRANSLATIONS

DEPENDING ON YOUR CIRCUMSTANCE ie WHETHER YOU ARE IN THE UK OR TRAVELLING BACK FROM SPAIN TEMPORARILY, CONSIDER WHERE THE APOSTLED DOCUMENTS NEED TO BE POSTED.  

I ASKED ACRO TO POST DIRECT TO THE APOSTLE SERVICE AND FROM THERE POSTED TO MY UK ADDRESS. IT WAS THEN SCANNED AND SENT TO RAPHAELLA FOR TRANSLATION AND CAME BACK TO ME WITHIN TWO DAYS READY TO BE PRINTED AND INCLUDED WITH THE REQUIRED DOCUMENTS.

FORMS: THERE ARE THREE AND YOU CAN FIND LINKS ABOVE* GOOGLE TRANSLATE SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT HELP COMPLETING THEM.

FUNDS: HAVE TO BE PROVEN EITHER BY PROOF OF MONTHLY INCOME OR BY SUFFICIENT FUNDS FOR THE FIRST YEAR IN THE FORM OF A LUMP SUM. Following is a copy of text taken from the website below.

To ascertain that you have enough funds to sustain yourself in Spain, IPREM, an indicator used in Spain to determine minimum income for an individual annually, is used. The non lucrative visa Spain applicants must have at least 400% of the IPREM value in their bank account every year. Currently, the 400% IPREM value per month for 2022 is €2.316,08 . This gives an IPREM value of €27.792,96 (minimum) per year.

Having 400% of the amount means that your bank account must have €27.792,96 or more if you include your family members for your visa application to be approved. An additional €6,948.24 is required yearly for each additional family member under the Spanish non lucrative visa. Euro is the official currency used, which means applicants’ bank balances should be in Euro or another international currency convertible to Euros.

Morning,

We were supplied a simple form that the GP had to sign and stamp to say we had no serious health issues. We then had to send it to Milton Keynes to get it legalised, along with marriage certificate and also solicitor got it translated.
