Program Overview
The Spain Non-Lucrative Visa is a long-term residency option for non-EU/EEA/Swiss nationals who can demonstrate that they have sufficient stable and ongoing income or savings to support themselves and their dependents without engaging in employment or local business activity in Spain.
It is a popular choice for retirees, passive income earners, digital nomads who do not intend to work locally, and individuals or families seeking a quality lifestyle in Spain with legal residency.
This visa leads to legal residency and provides a clear pathway toward temporary residence, permanent residency, and, eventually, Spanish citizenship, subject to eligibility and legal requirements.
