Non Lucrative Visa. It's the visa you need if you are retired and want to move to live in Spain, post Brexit.
Update on my registering my S1 form with Spanish INSS.
The latest requirement from the Spanish Consulate in UK is that my S1 form(which I have) must be pre registered with Spanish INSS before the interview at the Consulate. The forms needed to fill in are in Spanish(naturally) but the process requires a 'real time' taken photo holding passport' which then leads to more info again all in Spanish. I thought no problem, I'll contact a Spanish Solicitor near me and do the application online, they can translate, I take the pic, click onto next part and they can translate again. Then they can translate the emails I will receive while doing the application. How wrong was I, contacted several Spanish Solicitors...sorry its not something we can do. So, contacted Spanish Translators, again merely asking for them to be with me when I do the application.....again, sorry that's not something we can do.
So looks like I won't bother with a Consulate appointment yet, will go to Spain in June and I'm sure a Spanish solicitor will happily sit with me while I do the application. Then when I'm back, I will get the appointment at the Consulate with my INSS certificate with me.
