The total cost surprises people because it's not one fee, it's four separate payments to four separate parties, and they don't happen at the same time. Budget for document ordering, notarization, the apostille fee itself, and sworn translation independently. For a Non-Lucrative Visa application as a single applicant, budget CAD $350–$650 for everything except the consulate visa fee itself

For Spain visa applications, such as Non-Lucrative Visa, Digital Nomad Visa, Student Visa, Work Visa, or Family Reunification applicants are usually required to apostille civil documents, police clearance certificates, and educational or legal records. Because each document must be prepared separately, costs vary depending on your situation.

Documents from multiple provinces mean multiple submission packages, separate courier costs, separate return envelopes, and separate processing timelines.
