How difficult is it to move to Spain?
Should we hire a lawyer to help with the process?

I have just retired to Spain from Seville. Applying for your visa at the consulate is a straightforward process. Just follow the instructions on the website of the specific consulate you will be dealing with. It appears that they each interpret the process somewhat differently so this is quite important I suggest you query this site for others who have worked with the specific consulate you will be dealing with who could give you some advice.
There is no need to have a lawyer at this phase of the process. Once in country and working in a 90 day window to complete the final steps to secure your NIE or foreigners ID number and the last step in the visa, process, you may benefit from the help of a gestor or lawyer depending on your language skills. I don't speak Spanish yet so I used a local attorney who also spoke English. He expedited the process in a way that would have been impossible for me. I considered his fee a part of my moving expenses.
I will be happy to respond to other questions - feel free to send me a private message.

I just noticed that my previous message said I had retired from Seville. Sorry - I meant to say I retired from US - Tampa to Seville!

Dhw, that is excellent advice. I had friends there who helped shepherd me through the process, but I also ended up making three trips to the consulate in Miami to get my visado nonlucrativo. I'd be happy to answer questions, too.

I am from Alabama so had to apply for non lucrative visa at the Houston Consulate. When sheduling appointment, I asked the lady if she was the person I could email questions. She said yes. Afterwards, she ignored all of my emails. I had to fly to Houston to pretty much ask questions she could have answered by email. I asked her if I could mail this info to her to save another expensive trip with hotel, rental car, etc. . She said no further telling me I should have emailed her because she answers them all day. I showed her the emails she ignored. She could have cared less. I am going to Spain in 3 weeks to find a place to live. I have to fly back to Houston to apply in person. Sbe reuros my emails now for whatever that is worth.
