Spain Visa Programs
Your Path to EU Residency
The Non-Lucrative Visa (NLV)
The NLV is designed for non-EU citizens who wish to reside in Spain for over 90 days without working for a Spanish company. This route is ideal for individuals or families with passive, stable income or substantial savings originating outside of Spain.
Who is this For?
- Retirees and Pensioners
- Individuals with independent income from investments, pensions, or rental properties
- Anyone seeking a residency path to Spanish citizenship without working locally
Financial Solvency
You must prove financial means to support yourself and your dependents without working in Spain. The minimum amount is calculated based on Spain’s IPREM index (400% for the main applicant, 100% for each dependent). As of 2025, this is approximately $\mathbf{\mathbf{€2,400}}$ per month for the main applicant.
Non-Working Status
You cannot be employed by a Spanish company or offer services to clients residing in Spain. Passive income from international investments is permitted.
Commitment
Requires an intent to reside in Spain for at least 183 days per year to maintain tax and residency status.
The Digital Nomad Visa (DNV) / International Teleworkers Visa
The Spanish DNV is a residence permit for skilled non-EU citizens who work remotely for companies or clients based outside of Spain. Introduced to attract global talent, this visa offers a strong tax incentive for the first four years.
Who is this For?
- Remote employees of foreign companies
- Freelancers, consultants, and sole proprietors serving international clients
- High-skilled workers in the IT, Tech, and Digital sectors
Employment/Client Status
You must demonstrate a verifiable working relationship with a non-Spanish company/client for at least three months prior to application.
Minimum Income
You must prove a stable monthly income of at least 200% of the Spanish Minimum Wage (SMI). As of 2025, this threshold is typically around $\mathbf{\mathbf{€2,762}}$ per month ($\mathbf{\mathbf{€33,144}}$ per year) for the main applicant.
Qualifications
Proof of a university degree, professional certificate, or at least three years of documented professional work experience in your field.
Tax Benefit
Holders may be eligible for the special Non-Resident Income Tax Regime, which significantly reduces the tax rate during the initial years of residency.
Golden Visa / Investor Visa
The Spanish Golden Visa (officially the Residence Visa for Investors) provides fast-track residency for non-EU citizens who make a significant capital investment into the Spanish economy. This visa does not require the investor to spend a minimum number of days in Spain to maintain their residency status.

|---|---|
| Real Estate | €500,000 (The first €500,000 must be unencumbered by a mortgage) |
| Shares/Bank Deposit | €1,000,000 in shares of Spanish companies or as a bank deposit in a Spanish financial institution |
| Public Debt | €2,000,000 in Spanish Public Debt Securities |

Family Reunification Visa (Regrouping)
This visa is specifically for non-EU citizens who are already legal residents in Spain and wish to bring their immediate family members (spouse, children, and dependent parents) to live with them.
Who is this For?
Reunifier Status
The individual already living in Spain must hold a valid temporary residence permit for at least one full year and must have applied for its renewal.
Financial Means
The reunifier must demonstrate stable and sufficient income to support the family member(s) without relying on public benefits. The minimum threshold increases based on the number of people being reunited.
Adequate Housing
A favorable report from the local government (Ayuntamiento) is required to certify that the reunifier’s housing meets minimum standards for adequacy.
Eligible Family
Typically includes the spouse/partner, minor children (under 18), or children who are legally incapacitated. Parents may be reunified under stricter conditions.
