A non-lucrative visa or NLV is usually the best solution for people who intend to retire in Spain.
This visa is granted for one year and is subject to meeting the following requirements:
Proof of income or savings (currently set at £25,000 per person per year)
Lack of a criminal record
A health insurance policy that operates in Spain
A certificate of good health issued by your GP or a different medical practitioner in the UK
However, it is subject to the following limitations:
You must move to Spain within 90 days of obtaining the visa
You may not work under this visa
You must reside in Spain for at least 6 months per year in order to renew your visa, making you liable for taxes in Spain
You may not bring relatives with you other than your spouse or minor children
As with other visas, we can help you obtain all these documents, translate them, legalise them and prepare an application pack to ensure that you succeed in obtaining your visa in a single appointment. After this, you can relax and prepare for your new life in the sun!
