The Spain non-lucrative visa is a residence permit for people from outside the EU who can support themselves without working in Spain. It is the route most retirees and people living on pensions, savings or investment income use.
Because you do not take a job in Spain, there is no job offer or employer involved. What matters is proving you have enough money and private health insurance to live in Spain comfortably.
You can live in Spain full time, rent or buy a home, and register locally with a TIE card.
The visa is based on your own means, so there is no employer, contract or business plan to present.
A spouse or partner and dependent children can usually be included if your funds cover them too.
The permit can be renewed while you keep meeting the conditions, which can lead to long term residence later.
Answer a few questions about your situation. Specialists who handle this exact application send you offers with their fees and timelines, and you choose who to work with.

Bank statements, insurance, medical and criminal record certificates are gathered, legalised where needed and translated.
You attend an appointment at the Spanish consulate or its visa centre in the country where you live.
Once the visa is stamped in your passport, you enter Spain within the period it allows.

A general overview of the work a specialist usually takes on for this service.
It is for people from outside the EU who want to live in Spain without working, most often retirees and people with pensions, savings or investment income.
Generally no. The visa is designed for people who do not work. If you plan to keep working remotely, the digital nomad visa is usually the better route.
The minimum is linked to an official Spanish reference figure that changes over time and increases for each dependant. Your specialist confirms the current amount before you apply.
Yes. Since Brexit, UK retirees who want to live in Spain full time generally use the non-lucrative visa, applying at the Spanish consulate in the UK before they move.
