GoSpain: document preparation for Spanish visa applications

GoSpain is a service aimed at UK citizens who need to prepare the paperwork for a Spanish visa application. Its work covers three main routes: the Non-Lucrative Visa (NLV), the Student Visa and the Digital Nomad Visa. The company states it has assisted more than 3,500 clients, described as students, families and retirees, and that it operates offices in the United Kingdom and Spain.

The service is presented as document preparation and guidance rather than legal decision-making. GoSpain notes that the Spanish Consulate is the sole authority responsible for reviewing and deciding Non-Lucrative Visa applications, and that its own role is to assemble and check the file before the consular appointment.

How the Non-Lucrative Visa package works

GoSpain has prepared NLV applications for UK citizens since Brexit. The company describes the process as time-sensitive and paper-heavy rather than especially complicated, and its package is built around organising the documents at each stage so that the applicant arrives at the consulate with a complete file.

The stated scope of the package includes:

• Clear checklists and step-by-step timelines.
• Gathering and organising time-sensitive documents.
• Preparation of application forms and supporting paperwork.
• Arranging apostilles and certified translations.
• Guidance before the consular appointment, including what to bring and what to expect.
• Ongoing support through document preparation up to the consular appointment.

Pricing is given per applicant: the paperwork package costs £775 including VAT. The company also lists indicative figures for private health cover of £690 for ages 35–50 and £895 for ages 50–60, noting that premiums vary by age and insurer.

Documents handled on the applicant's behalf

GoSpain draws a distinction between services that only supply guidance and its own approach, which involves requesting and assembling documents for the applicant where authorisation has been given. The specific items it says it handles are:

• ACRO Police Certificate, requested with the applicant's written authorisation.
• Medical certificate, arranged through partner private doctors and issued in the format required by the Spanish Consulate.
• Certified copies of birth and marriage certificates, where required.
• Apostilles for all documents that need legalisation.
• Certified translations by qualified sworn translators where required.
• Visa application forms, completed and prepared for the appointment.
• Supporting documents and guidance, including checklists, supporting letters and instructions on what to take to the appointment.
• Consular appointment preparation.

Each client is assigned a single specialist who follows the file from start to finish.

Medical certificates and the 3-in-1 format

Among the individual services, the medical certificate is presented as a 3-in-1 product: issued in English and Spanish and including the apostille, so it is ready for the visa application. The certificate is arranged through partner private doctors. To apply, the applicant completes a medical questionnaire, provides a copy of the passport and records a short video; the company states that medical records are not required.

The site listed a price of £160 for doctors' certificates for the 2026/27 student visa cycle, described as delivered, translated and apostilled. A separate entry for the 2025 student visas quoted £150 for the translated and apostilled certificate.

Services after approval and other visa routes

Beyond the initial application, GoSpain offers support with TIE appointment booking and form preparation, S1 registration with INSS for eligible applicants, and a visa renewal service. Its documents hub also lists NLV form preparation (EX-01 and TASA-790), UK driving licence exchange support, residency support for EU citizens and family members, and digital certificate assistance.

For students, the company covers student visa assistance including a dedicated service for minors, health insurance for students and medical certificates. It also publishes a 60-page GoSpain magazine with practical guidance and document checklists for visa applicants.

Insurance services

GoSpain Insurance operates as an authorised agent and states that it undergoes a statutory annual evaluation to confirm compliance with industry standards. Its listed areas of specialisation are residency and visa policies, student policies, cover for the over-75s and policies for people with a history of pre-existing conditions. The company also says it can help arrange health, home, car and repatriation insurance once the move to Spain is under way.

Client feedback

The site reproduces reviews attributed to Trustpilot, where clients describe help with paperwork, form filling, translations and apostille stamps for visa applications, and mention being kept updated throughout the process. These are individual testimonials rather than a verified assessment of the service.
