EXPLAINED - Spain's Non Lucrative Visa

[@boodori1210]

25:40, it's Long Term Residence, not Permanent Residence 25:59 "The 180 days in Spain for a 2 year renewal" was annulled by the Supreme Court last year 22:18 Nowhere in the legislation is there any requirement to demonstrate intent to remain in Spain

[@Eurobazz]

Please correct me if I'm wrong but isn't 75 the upper age limit for being accepted into a Spanish private healthcare insurance plan regardless of the person's nationality and visa status?

[@Trap1Dog]

Thanks for an informative video. Suppose I wished to remain tax resident in the UK, did not wish to apply for permanent residency in Spain after 5 years but did want to obtain ongoing renewable NLVs. Can you confirm as per the info at 25:37 that this would be possible by spending >180 (or exactly 180 days) but

[@thomaswilliams7888]

Hi Alex. We are presently on our 90 day stay in Our home in Quesada. Please would it be possible to access some advice from your office in Quesada regarding NLV and tax implications ? So worried about Spanish tax etc, it’s stopping us applying for our NLV. Would this be a free chat or how much might it cost. Look forward to your reply. Regards. Tom & Josie Williams.

So with my spouse being an Irish passport holder, does the residency have to be applied for in Spain or before we move? Hopefully moving after August 2024

[@MyLawyerInSpain]

Hi Paul, residency has to be applied for from Spain. However you will need some docs from your home country so send us an email to [e-mail] and we can send you some info.

@@MyLawyerInSpain many thanks I have now been in contact 👍🏼

[@naturerelaxmusic2598]

Are the Credit Cards considered as a financial resources also fpr applying to this Visa?

[@MyLawyerInSpain]

No they are not.

[@fatboy653]

Hi. I am slightly confused. Do we need a Spanish address BEFORE we apply for the Non Lucrative visa? If we are in UK and selling our home we will not yet have a spanish address. Chicken or egg situation? Thanks

[@MyLawyerInSpain]

Yes you will need a Spanish address in order to apply for the NLV. It can be a temporary address.

[@loullahdahi348]

What if I have sufficient fund in my saving bank account, but I still work for a company abroad. I work 6 weeks on 3 weeks off, and personally not interested in the permanent residency for myself, but I want it for my family.

[@MyLawyerInSpain]

@@loullahdahi348 I am afraid you are not allowed to work under the NLV

[@grissellrivera9159]

Can I send the application for Non lucrativa visa and still be working but have a letter notorized by the company stating the last day of work and no lo ger will be employed??

[@MyLawyerInSpain]

Send us an email to [e-mail]

[@proliphiyaatkinson]

Hi, can I apply based on savings like fixed deposits, equities, portfolio value if I can't qualify for monthly income?

[@MyLawyerInSpain]

Yes you can use savings to qualify for the NLV criteria.

[@proliphiyaatkinson]

Thank u so much friend

[@thomaswilliams7888]

Hi What if after 5 years you do not want to take full residency? Can you still keep renewing for 2 year periods? We do not want to give up our home in the UK but do very much want to live in Spain. Jo

[@MyLawyerInSpain]

Hello Jo - many thanks for your question. As mentioned if you spend more than 90 days in any 180 day rolling period you become a Spanish tax resident. Please check out our free legal advice guides - www.mylawyerinspain.com/useful-information/legal-advice-downloads/. And do email us at [e-mail] if we can help in your individual case.

[@thomaswilliams7888]

Hi thank you for your reply. However you did not answer my question. But you replied about tax which I did not mention!?!? Please can you answer the question asked. Jo

[@BezzasCarpChannel1]

Hi, thanks for this information…my wife and I live in the UK. I hold an Irish passport and looking to retire on a private pension in Spain…do I still need to apply for a non lucrative visa?

[@MyLawyerInSpain]

You can apply for residency here using your Irish passport and your wife can piggyback on your residency.

[@maneugeni]

Do you have to become a Spanish Tax Resident to obtain the non-lucrative Visa? Our plan was to get Golden Visa and live in Spain for 180 days and keep our US tax residency and a US home.

[@MyLawyerInSpain]

Yes you can do that ! Hurry though because the GV program is being withdrawn.

[@mackafra]

Doesn’t the non lucrative visa also work in this situation ? That would remove the need to act quickly for a GV

[@MyLawyerInSpain]

@@mackafra if you do not want to work in Spain or elsewhere then the NLV would be appropriate. The GV allows you to live and work in Spain whereas the NLV does not.

I'm a 68 1/2 year old single-(divorced since 2016) retired IBEW Journeyman Electrician here in Honolulu. My SSA and draw down pensions equal $3,513.00 EU that's minus $174.00 (Medicare Part A,B,C,D) through my union. I'm planning to move to Spain March1, 2025 Two things: 1.If I take a job now with the H.P.D. as a traffic ticket clerk until I get my visa will that disqualify me as being retired? 2.There seems to be no Consulate in Hawaii is it necessary to go to a Consulate (which one?)
