Spain Residency Visa

Non-lucrative residence

The non-lucrative route is designed for residence without employment or professional activity. Applicants generally show sufficient guaranteed means, qualifying private medical insurance, a clean criminal record and suitable accommodation. Official guidance uses 400% of IPREM for the main applicant plus 100% for each dependant; the euro amount changes with the annual IPREM.

Digital nomad route

Remote professionals working mainly for organisations outside Spain may consider the digital nomad route. The file normally addresses the foreign work relationship, professional experience or qualifications, income, social-security position, insurance and family members.

Documents prepared for Spain

Foreign civil, police and professional documents may require apostille or legalisation and an official Spanish translation. We build the checklist around the selected route and the consular district where the applicant legally resides.

Financial evidence, insurance and accommodation

Funds must have a clear lawful source. Statements, income, insurance and accommodation must support a consistent residence plan. The specialist partner checks consistency, validity and translation requirements before submission.

Can family members apply together?

Qualifying family members can often be included, but additional financial evidence and civil documents are required for each dependant.

Can I start a Spain application from another country?
