Non-Lucrative Visa

The Spanish Non-Lucrative Visa allows non-EU nationals to reside in Spain without working, provided they have passive income of at least €28,800/year. Applicants may not engage in any employment or professional activity on Spanish territory.

Initial authorization lasts one year, then renews for two-year terms indefinitely, with a path to permanent residency after five years. Spouses and dependents may join but cannot work. Comprehensive private health insurance with no co-pays is required. Fees total €90.94 (€80 visa plus €10.94 residence permit).

This visa is ideal for financially independent retirees, investors, or pension recipients seeking long-term residence in Spain without entering the local job market.
