About

Why Trust This Guide?

We are not a law firm and we do not process visa applications. What we are is a community of over 225,000 members who are going through — or have already been through — the exact process you are researching right now. That gives us something no law firm website can offer: the real, aggregated experience of applicants across every Spanish consulate in the world.

The largest Spanish NLV group on Facebook — 30,000+ members sharing real applications, consulate by consulate.

About Bruno Bianchi

Bruno Bianchi is the CEO and owner of Spainguru, the team behind this site. He joined Spainguru in 2021 and grew it from a content blog into a full-service ecosystem for people moving to Spain — today a community of 225,000+ members across 30+ Facebook groups, a YouTube channel with 1,000+ expert videos, and a weekly newsletter read by 20,000 readers.

The Non-Lucrative Visa is one of the most-asked-about topics in the Spainguru community, and Bruno helps applicants through it every day — connecting them with vetted immigration lawyers, tax advisors, and insurance providers when specialist help is needed. He built this site to be the clear, reliable NLV resource he wished had existed during his own move to Spain. You can connect with Bruno on LinkedIn.

Our Approach to Content

Every page on this site is researched against official Spanish government sources, cross-referenced with real applicant experiences from our community, and regularly updated as requirements change. We clearly distinguish between official requirements and practical advice based on community experience. When consulate requirements differ (and they often do), we note those differences.

We partner with vetted immigration lawyers and health insurance providers who serve our community. These partnerships are always transparently disclosed — see our Affiliate Disclosure for details. Our editorial content is never influenced by these partnerships.
