Thank you 🙏

That helps.. 

we just could do with documents which open initial in English and how to get them translated into Spanish, I am so lost was thinking g of using someone to do it step by step for us, but it costs £750 each, plus Visa costs as we are not married, we need a visa each 😳

As far as I am aware visa’s have to be applied for separately whether you are married or not.

Please don't stress it really is that bad when you get there. Firstly you visit the Spanish Consulate in London not the embassy. We were told the same as you, passport will be kept, can take 3 months. Passport wasn't kept and visa took 3 weeks. Go as though it will be kept hopefully you'll be ple...

...asantly surprised.

It'll all be worth it in the end.

Dear all

Post Brexit, could I ask if you have any tips on finding Visa Documentation in English and then once filled in translating it Spanish 🙏🤦🏼‍♀️🙈

We used a solicitor for the process, it was important for us to get it right first time. You can scan the forms using Google translate if that helps. Your Police, Doctors reports have to be Apostled, those UK ones are available on the government website. Whilst the process can be pricey using someone it does take the worry out of the application process.

I can’t understand this because I wrote to the Spanish Embassy in London and they said that our passports would have to be left at the Embassy while the visa application was processed.
If they have changed this it would be great because while they have it we would not be able to visit our ap...

When we applied for our visas they gave us our passports back as the wait was up to 3 months but that was Edinburgh. Each consulate may be different

We used a solicitor called Lucia based in Barcelona, part of a company called MSV ( My Spanish Visa) if I remember correctly. Booked the Consulate appointment, completed the forms, checked your bank statements, pointed you towards translators etc. Basically held your hand every step of the way. There are other competent companies out there also, worth looking around.

Hi all,

Thank you for adding me onto the forum. I was wondering if anyone can advise me on who to reach out to for a valuation on our property.

We are currently living in the UK.

Thanks
