Are you an administrative agency or a law firm?

No. Landesp coordinates your relocation process, and our partner lawyers handle the legal work when your case requires it. Procedures and documents are checked against official sources.

How much does it cost?

The Student Pack has a fixed price of €300 per person. Essential depends on your procedure and headcount: you define your case in two minutes, see the price and scope in writing, and only then decide whether to pay. No hidden costs or later charges.

I'm already in Spain. Can you help me?

Yes. Registration, bank account, digital certificate or utilities if you have just arrived; and family reunification if you have been here for a while. We handle it with you.

Can you guarantee an appointment for my procedure?

No one can honestly guarantee an appointment at a public office, whether immigration, the police, the town hall or the consulate: availability depends on each administration. What we do guarantee is our part: the file ready, official channels monitored and the request filed the moment a slot opens.

How long does the process take?

We recommend starting 8 to 12 weeks before arrival. Some procedures can be prepared from your home country; others are only possible in Spain. With early planning, many clients are operational within 15 to 30 days of arrival.

What are the 7 biggest mistakes people make when moving to Spain?

1) Paying rental deposits without verifying property ownership or reviewing lease terms; 2) Misunderstanding immigration rules (arriving as a tourist for procedures requiring a prior consular visa); 3) Delaying mandatory local municipal registration (empadronamiento); 4) Overlooking tax residency rules (such as the 183-day rule or Beckham Law deadlines); 5) Purchasing health insurance with co-payments rejected by immigration; 6) Arriving without police certificates or degrees properly apostilled and sworn-translated; and 7) Postponing TIE appointments and bank account opening without organized proof of funds.

Can you move and live in Spain?

Yes, absolutely. Spain offers well-established legal residency pathways: the Digital Nomad Visa (for remote employees and international freelancers under the Startup Act), the Student Visa (which permits working up to 30 hours per week), the Non-Lucrative Visa (for individuals with sufficient savings or passive income), highly qualified professional visas, investor visas, and residency through arraigo. The key is organizing your documentation and choosing the right legal route before travelling.

What are the do's and don'ts in Spain?

Do's: register your address (empadronamiento) immediately upon signing your lease; apply for your TIE residence card within 30 days of arrival; seek professional tax advice before your first 183 days; and verify property records before sending any money. Don'ts: never transfer rent deposits without lease verification and land registry check; do not exhaust your 90-day Schengen stay without a valid legal pathway; and do not purchase cheap insurance with co-payments.

Pronabec scholarship to study in Spain: the visa at BLS Lima

Special visa circuit for Pronabec scholarship recipients (Bicentennial Generation Scholarship) at BLS Lima: management resolution, exemption from fees and deadlines.

Students and professors pose on the steps of a university faculty in Lima

You obtained the Pronabec Bicentennial Generation Scholarship to study your master's or doctorate at a Spanish university.You have state financing guaranteed by the Peruvian State, but the deadlines for issuing scholarship resolutions and the start of classes in Spain coincide in a suffocating way.We show you how to process your student visa at BLS Lima without risking your scholarship.

The Value of the Pronabec Headquarters Resolution before the Consulate

For the Consulate General of Spain in Lima, Pronabec scholarship recipients enjoy preferential administrative consideration.The Headquarters Resolution that formally awards you the state scholarship indisputably certifies that you have all the costs of air tickets, full university tuition, international medical insurance and a monthly maintenance allowance that comfortably exceeds 100% of the Spanish IPREM.

By submitting this official documentation, the scholarship recipient is exempt from having to submit personal bank statements or letters of family financial sponsorship.

The Three Key Documents You Should Request from Pronabec

To attend your consular appointment, you must require three essential certifications from your Pronabec advisor or coordinator:

Legalized or certified copy with digital verification code of the Headquarters Scholarship Award Resolution.
Official Certificate of Scholarship Award specifically addressed to the 'Consulate General of Spain in Lima', detailing the exact amounts of monthly support in dollars or euros.
Consular Processing Request Letter signed by the executive management of the program.

The Problem of Time and the Start of Classes in Spain

The usual bottleneck is that Pronabec usually issues financial guarantee letters a few weeks before the trip, while appointments at BLS Lima are collapsed.

Official scholarship recipients have institutional coordination channels between PRONABEC and the education attaché of the Spanish Embassy in Lima to request institutional priority appointments in case of danger of losing enrollment.

Specific Consular Documentation for Pronabec Scholarship Holders

Consular Requirement	How does the Pronabec Scholarship cover it?	Document that certifies it	Do you require extra funds?
Economic Solvency (100% IPREM)	Monthly stipend in euros assigned by Pronabec	Institutional Letter of Economic Coverage	NO (100% guaranteed by State)
University Tuition Payment	Pronabec pays directly to the university	Proof of enrollment award	NO

Key Practical Tips

What the team recommends before you file anything:

Verify that the medical insurance that Pronabec contracts with you strictly complies with the 'no co-payments and unlimited repatriation' clause; If the insurance contracted has deductibles, the consulate will look at your file.
Present the final admission letter from the university in Spain exactly the same as the one you presented in the scholarship competition.
