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.

Marcela Herrera12/08/2025 Lo hemos usado para tramitar el Nie en Bilbao y ahora para el manejo de facturas. Super recomendable y profesionales. Victor Gonzalez11/08/2025 Javier Mendez05/08/2025 Aaron Parr31/07/2025 I am so grateful to have found Entre Trámites. The process of moving to Spain is incredibly complicated and slow, but I was able to get my residency certificate in just 6 weeks. The team are very responsive, due diligent, and empathetic. I was able to understand what I needed to do at every step, and I could not done this without them. Special thanks to Jesica Delgado, who was my gestor for the NIE, Padron, and CUE process. Jesica went above and beyond to help me with my residency application. I'm blown away by Jesica's due diligence and competence. When I was in a pinch, she was always very responsive and supportive. And Jesica always made things super clear. Also Julieth Bercerra has been brilliant as an accountant. The process of becoming autonomo is also confusing, but she has helped understand what I need to do at every step. It is such a pleasure to work with her now and moving forwards. Lastly Daniela Jarma was brilliant at onboarding me into the process. I really did not know enough about getting residency in Spain, but she listened to my situation and presented me with options in a way that was so easy to understand. From start to finish, and on-going, I have the utmost appreciate for the work of this company. If you need support with paperwork, I would recommend no one else! mairys colina24/07/2025 Excelente atencion y servicio Agustina Huertas23/07/2025 MUHAMMED SHAMIL KK23/07/2025 Vic Hernandez22/07/2025 Louis made what felt like an overwhelming process so much easier. We had so many questions about Spanish taxes, moving timelines, and how to handle our U.S. retirement accounts. He explained everything clearly and gave us a plan that made sense for our situation. His email follow-up was incredibly thorough—it included all the details we needed to take the right steps. Honestly, I don’t know how we would have figured this out without his guidance. Highly recommend him to anyone considering a move to Spain!Google rating score: 4.6 of 5, based on 433 reviews
