What is a non-lucrative temporary residence visa?
A non-lucrative (or non-profit) temporary residence in Spain is a type of residence permit that is granted to foreigners who wish to reside in Spain for a specific period of time without carrying out paid work or professional activities in the country.
This type of residence is designed for people who wish to live in Spain for personal reasons, such as retirement, studies, research, medical treatment, or other similar circumstances, and who have sufficient financial means to support themselves during their stay without the need to work.

Benefits of temporary non-lucrative residence in Spain

Opportunity to Reunite with Relatives:
Non-profit residency can also be an attractive option for people who wish to join their relatives in Spain. Holders of this type of residence can sponsor their spouses and minor children to join them in the country.
Ease of application:
This is a very simple residence permit to obtain, you just have to prove that you have the financial means during the initial year of the residence permit. The minimum amount required is 400% of the IPREM, which is around 30,500 euros for the visa applicant, plus an additional 7,500 euros for each accompanying family member.
Flexibility of Lifestyle:
As they are not obliged to work in Spain, those with non-profit residency have the flexibility to devote their time to activities of their choice, such as studying, volunteering, investing or enjoying their retirement. This allows for a more relaxed lifestyle and the possibility to explore new interests and passions.
