Proof of means
The source, stability and documentation of your income matter as much as the amount. We audit the evidence before filing.
Immigration
Non-lucrative visa Spain
The non-lucrative route suits clients with passive income or sufficient savings who will not carry out professional activity in Spain. Its simplicity is deceptive: the income evidence and the tax consequences are where files fail.
Who this is for
- Retirees and pre-retirees
- Clients living on investment or rental income
- Families taking a sabbatical in Spain
Healthcare cover
Policies must meet specific conditions. Standard travel or expat policies are frequently rejected.
No work — and what that means
We define precisely what activity is and is not compatible with the permit, including remote work for a foreign employer.

Frequently asked questions
- Can I work remotely on a non-lucrative visa?
- This route is not designed for professional activity. Remote workers are usually better served by the international teleworking authorisation, and we will say so rather than file the wrong application.
- Will I become a Spanish tax resident?
- Living in Spain for most of the year normally triggers tax residence on worldwide income. This should be modelled before you apply, not after.
