I could not have obtained my Non-Lucrative Visa without the guidance provided by Lifestyle Services. Each stage of the process has its own idiosyncrasies and, on occasion, baffling complexity.Danny of Lifestyle Services was key to helping me prepare for, and overcome these issues. His knowledge of the process was invaluable and he provided reassuring guidance at every point.I fully recommend this company

Danny has been an excellent advisor and has supported us well during the whole process. We would definitely recommend you use an advisor when applying for a Spanish NLV as there is a lot to do! Lifestyle would be the people to speak to. They also provide other essential services that you will need when moving to Spain.

We moved to Spain a year and a half ago and used OSL to make the move more manageable for us as a family. Other than some minor delays with TIEs (due to the complicated Spanish system for making appointments), they have been really great so far and we continue to use their services for renewals, taxes etc. We even had the unfortunate luck of having our Spanish licence plates stolen during our road trip to England, and after going round in circles with insurance, consulates etc., Simon from OLS managed to solve our problem in a good time-frame and professionally. We are very grateful to him and his team for getting us home to Spain and their excellent service so far!

Malcolm Birch

10:19 13 May 25

We are more than grateful for the help and advise given by Simon at Lifestyle Services. We could never have completed all the paperwork by ourselves.

We were recommended Lifestyle Services by a couple of friends who said they provided a great service. We needed help to bring my elderly father to Spain to live with us. Danny and his team have been brilliant right from the first phone call. They are with you every step of the way. They give you detailed steps on how to do everything and are on hand whenever you need them. I messaged Danny regularly by WhatsApp and the replies were always prompt. The day my father went to his appointment in London they messaged to make sure all was good. The afterservuce is also perfect. I can't recommend Danny and his team enough.

We've finally retired to Spain and we're living our dream with thanks to everyone we've encountered at Lifestyle.Firstly, Simon and Rebecca who expertly and patiently guided and helped us with the paperwork for our visas before we left the UK. Then thanks to Dan who advised us about buying a LHD car months before we left the UK, then driving ourselves and final belongings when we came to Spain.Once here we turned to Maria, Danielle and Holly for their help with Spanish bureaucracy with our TIE cards, swapping our car to Spanish plates as well as help at the Town Hall with registration.Thank you so much, we appreciate your invaluable help and would happily recommend Lifestyle to anyone wanting to leave the UK and move to Spain, their service is worth every penny.Robert & Beverley

I used Lifestyle Services in La Cala de Mijas for my first NLV renewal and to get my second TIE . Holly and her colleagues , Suzanne and Maria , offered me an outstanding service (and always with a smile). Fully transparent and seamless. I submitted the documents they asked for and the team took care of the rest. They were very accurate in their filling such that no additional info were requested by the Spanish authorities. I was getting courteous updates regularly during the process ( took approx 3 months) and they took care of scheduling the necessary appointment (CITA). A member of the team , Maria, also supported me during the CITA at the Spanish CNP . Definitely recommended and i will use them in my next steps. Score 10/10 with full merits. Thanks to all of you for the excellent services. Appreciated

We used Lifestyle Services to obtain our Non Lucrative Visa's, whilst we are aware that people have done this independently, we felt that we didn't want the additional stress involved alongside selling our home, giving up jobs and living in temporary accommodation whilst the applications were in process! Our experience with Lifestyle has been very positive and smooth running even down to arriving in Spain with our NLV's and within 3 days, we had signed onto the Padron and Lifestyle had secured us an appointment for our TIE exchange, both appointments we were accompanied to with Maria, part of the Lifestyle team which made this side of the process seamless and pain free too! Once we get our TIE cards we will be using Lifestyle services again for our driving licence exchanges. If you are like us and want to be guided and assured that all is fully correct with your application, then we totally recommend using Lifestyle. We are now on day 11 of our new lives in Spain, so a big thank you to Simon, Rebecca and Maria who have got us to this point! 😊

We used lifestyle to support us through the NLV process. Danny was excellent throughout the process and always at the end of the phone whenever we had any questions or issues. They provided us with complete packs to take to our appointment at BLS which was reassuring. We had a couple of issues with lost documents by BLS and additional information required by the consulate which caused some stress but Danny quickly reassured us this was normal and everything would be OK. After around 11 weeks from the BLS appointment our visas were issued. Thankyou Danny and the lifestyle team.

I highly recommend using the Lifestyle Services team if you are relocating to Spain, they provide all the information and support you need to navigate your way through the process. From the initial call I had with Simon to Rebecca holding my hand during the application process for my NLV the team have been fantastic, I can't imagine going through that without the knowledge and expertise of the team especially Rebecca who kept me (relatively!) calm.Massive thanks to the team, application to receipt of visa in 9 working days was definitely helped by having all the correct documentation prepared.

Roger Sliney

10:53 21 Mar 25

After reading several recommendations for Lifestyle, and among the names-Simon Kirk was mentioned several times, we decided to ask them to help us apply for our NLV.We haven’t been disappointed, Simon has held our hand the whole way and made a potentially VERY stressful process as easy as possibleSometimes in life, you get what you pay for, and we feel we have had a great deal.We have our visas now- 3 weeks, 3 days, and are actually In Spain.Thanks again for all the friendly help and advice Simon.

We used Lifestyle Services to help with our Spanish Visa application - the best decision we have made! From the initial meeting, right through the process every member of the team has been friendly, professional and gone out of their way to put us at ease. We worried that the process would be complicated and stressful, but having Lifestyle helping us took the stress away - every question and concern was addressed quickly. Particular mention for Rebecca, who helped massively with collation and preparation of all the documentation for our Visa appointment, and kept us sane during the wait for our visas to arrive. Also many thanks to Simon and Paul for their help with both general questions and tax assistance - they have both been patient, helpful and friendly throughout. We would recommend anyone starting out on this journey to use Lifestyle Services - it made such a difference and we'll definitely be using them again for our visa renewals when the time comes.

Sharon Brown

19:42 31 Jan 25

We used Lifestyle Services to help us apply for our visas after researching different companies. Simon and Rebecca were extremely helpful and answered any queries quickly and were always on hand when needed. We would highly recommend them and have already passed their details on to other people and will continue to use them as we apply for our other documents and renewals.

Lee

08:49 15 Nov 24

Firstly a big thank you to the Lifestyle team.. deciding to relocate to Spain is a big decision, as soon as you start to research there are 100’s of opinions and suggestions. We found Lifestyle quite quickly and after completing the on line form Simon arranged to speak with us and talked us through the process, what support and the costs are involved. There was no hidden extras!We had a specific time frame and all the process was arranged around this, there are no guarantees to obtaining the visa on time as that is out of everyone’s hands, however we followed the Lifestyle plan, completed forms, obtained documents, LS completed translations and provided us with our pack..Attending BSL Edinburgh was a tad stressful and we had no updated on the tracking.. we waited patiently and 5 weeks later got notified on Royal Mail tracking the visas were to be delivered that day !We would recommend Lifestyle without hesitation and we look forward to meeting the team in a few weeks when we fly out to Fuengirola..Thank you so much we are so grateful for all the advice and assistance you gave us! Lee & Julie.

Yesterday 11th June we collected our TIE's for years 2 - 3. We were contacted by Holly earlier in the year where she... set out exactly what we needed to provide, she arranged appointments for our Digital Certificates and having passed over the information we just sat back and relaxed. The next notification was everything had gone through and we attended for our TIE appointments which again went without a hitch. We have been fully supported by Lifestyle and in particular Holly.

Great, informative and friendly service from Sam, Ana and team. Helped us along the way with a few twists and turns we... faced obtaining our visas.

I cannot recommend Lifestyle La Cala de Mijas highly enough. We moved to France almost 20 years ago and did all the... necessary paperwork ourselves. Moving to Spain this year has been a totally different experience in terms of paperwork etc. and having the help of both Ana and Scott has been brilliant.

I want to thank you on behalf of Julie & I for for the most wonderful service, help and assistance.

What really... stands out for Julie and I is the way you handled everything and resolved the set back we had on Thursday 10th September, where Torremolinos Police didn’t have my approval on the system. An error on the part of Spanish Immigration.

Well done, and thanks for the lightning fast response and resolution.

Now I just must say how super impressed we were with Ana.

Ana, you were simply awesome. The very calm, professional, way you dealt with everything was a joy to watch.
Even with the setback, the way you took the opportunity to get Julie’s case dealt with, was very sharp.

Plus, even though you found yourself time critical because of the set back and your impending next appointments in Fuengirola, you were so relaxed and in control.

Very very impressive.

I was about to tell you to abort and head off because it would not have been fair to put your other clients at a disadvantage.

In the end it didn’t come to that because you had built such great rapport with the civilian employee.

You were able to quickly explain that the team at Lifestyles had managed to get the approval, correctly, onto the system AND ensure that he was prepared to deal with my case.

All round, very impressive.
Thanks to the whole team.

And very very well done Ana.

Truly superb.

Regards
Steveread more
