The Non-Lucrative Visa is one of the most attractive options for those who wish to live in Spain without engaging in any work or professional activities. It is especially designed for retirees, unemployed individuals, or those who earn passive income from investments, rental properties, dividends, or other similar sources.
Main requirements:

Proof of sufficient financial means: at least €28,000 in savings. Retirees may supplement this amount with their monthly pension.
-
Clean criminal record for the last five years, both in Spain and in your country of origin.
-
An official medical certificate confirming that you do not suffer from any serious illness that may affect public health.
Benefits of the Non-Lucrative Visa:
-
Grants 1 year of legal residence in Spain, renewable for 2 additional years.
-
After five years of continuous residence, you may apply for long-term residence, enjoying the same rights as Spanish citizens (except voting rights).

Allows you to bring your immediate family (spouse, registered partner, and dependent children). For each family member, you must prove an additional €7,200.
-
Gives you the opportunity to live in a country with an excellent quality of life, pleasant climate, safety, and a rich cultural and gastronomic offer.
