This type of authorization allows legal residence in the country for an initial period of one year, renewable, provided certain requirements are met, especially regarding the proof of economic means. ✍️ What is non-lucrative residence? It is an authorization that allows citizens who are not members of the European Union, the European Economic Area, or Switzerland to reside in Spain without engaging in any paid activity. It is ideal for retired people, pensioners, passive investors, or those who simply want to live in Spain for personal or family reasons. General requirements To obtain this residence, the applicant must meet the following requirements: • Not be irregularly present on Spanish territory. • Have no criminal records in Spain or in the countries where they have resided in the last five years. • Not be listed as inadmissible in the Schengen area. • Not pose a threat to public order, safety, or public health. • Not be within the non-return commitment period if they have used voluntary return. • Pay the corresponding fee for the processing of the procedure. • Have public or private health insurance, without copayments, contracted with an authorized entity in Spain. • Not suffer from diseases that could have serious repercussions for public health according to the International Health Regulations. Proof of economic means This is the key point of the non-lucrative residence. The applicant must demonstrate that they have sufficient economic resources to support themselves in Spain without working. The amounts required are linked to the Public Indicator of Multiple Effects Income (IPREM), which in 2025 stands at €600 per month. • Main holder: must prove monthly 400% of IPREM, that is, €2,400 per month, equivalent to €28,800 annually. • Each additional family member: must prove 100% of IPREM, that is, €600 per month, or €7,200 annually. These funds must be available in bank accounts under the applicant´s name, preferably in Spanish entities or international ones with presence in Spain. Passive income, such as rental income, dividends, pensions, or investments, is also accepted, as long as they are stable and demonstrable. Required documentation The application must be submitted at the Spanish consulate of the applicant´s country of origin. Basic documentation includes: • Official EX-01 form duly completed. • Valid passport with at least one year of validity. • Criminal record certificate. • Medical certificate. • Documentation proving economic means. • Health insurance policy. • Proof of payment of the corresponding fee. Procedure and deadlines Once the application is submitted, the consulate has three months to resolve. If the authorization is granted, a residence visa will be issued that allows entry into Spain. Within one month from entry, the foreigner must apply for the Foreigner Identity Card (TIE) at the corresponding police station. Renewal The non-lucrative residence can be renewed for periods of two years, as long as the requirements continue to be met, especially the economic one. After five years of legal and continuous residence, long-term residence can be requested. Final considerations Non-lucrative residence is an excellent pathway for those who wish to enjoy the quality of life in Spain without the need to work. However, it requires rigorous financial planning and precise documentation. It is advisable to have specialized legal advice to guarantee the success of the process. ✨ ⚖️ Welcome to the Civil Online process offered by MCHM Lawyers.
