If your plan is to slow down, travel, pick up a hobby, and actually enjoy your days — the Non-Lucrative Visa is what makes that possible.

Who it’s for:
Anyone with passive income, savings, or ideally both, who doesn’t plan to work in Spain.

What you need:
💰 Savings of at least £24,700, or passive income of at least £2,060/month
👨‍👩‍👧 Bringing family? Add £6,183 in savings or £515/month per person

How long it lasts:
You get the visa for one year, then renew it twice for two years each time. After five years you’re eligible for permanent residency. To renew, you need to spend at least 183 days per year in Spain — which, honestly, shouldn’t be a problem.

If retiring in Spain sounds like the plan, book a free call with us and we’ll map out the process for your situation.

Wednesday it rained. Thursday the sun was back like nothing happened😅

That’s Barcelona in September for you — still warm, still sunny, and not quite ready to admit that autumn exists. Technically we’ve got about ten days until the season officially turns, but honestly it doesn’t feel like it out there.

What’s the weather like where you are right now?

Moving to Spain with your family is absolutely possible — and it's not just your partner who can come😎

You can bring your spouse, a long-term partner (a registered partnership known as pareja de hecho may be required), children, and elderly parents if they are financially or medically dependent on you.

💻 If you're applying for a Digital Nomad Visa, your income needs to be sufficient to cover all family members.

☺️ The same applies to the Non-Lucrative Visa — your passive income or savings need to account for everyone making the move.

👩‍❤️‍👨 And if your family member is an EU citizen, the Family Reunification Visa may be the right route instead.

Most people think about the visa first and the taxes later. It’s usually better the other way around.
Here’s a quick breakdown depending on your situation:

💻 Freelancers register as autónomo straight after getting their residence card, pay social security contributions from around €89/month in year one, and file IRPF quarterly — progressive rates from 19% to 47%.

🏢 Employees are mostly covered on the personal side, but their employer needs to either register with Spanish social security or provide a coverage certificate from their home country.

📅 After 183 days in Spain you become a tax resident and pay IRPF on your worldwide income — worth factoring in from day one.

One recent change worth knowing: at renewal, you now need to provide tax declarations for the last two years, not just a certificate of no outstanding debts. The earlier you plan for that, the better.

Tax situations vary depending on your income, employment type, and family situation — always worth speaking to a tax specialist for the specifics. And if you want to get the visa side sorted, book a free call with us.

Your kind words genuinely make our day. Reading your reviews reminds us why we do this — knowing you’re settled and happy in Spain means everything to us😎

Thank you for trusting us with something as big as your relocation. And if you’re still thinking about making the move, we’d love to help. Book a free call today.

Ignoring your taxes is the fastest way to lose your Digital Nomad Visa renewal — and the rules have recently changed in a way most people don’t know about yet😳

Previously, all you needed to show at renewal was a certificate confirming no outstanding tax debts in Spain. Now the authorities are asking for tax declarations for the last two years. That’s a significant shift😱

If you’re a freelancer working under a services contract, you’re legally required to register as autónomo and sign up with social security. If you haven’t done that, you’re not just risking a complicated renewal — you could face an inspection and lose your residence before you even get to that stage😰

The logic is straightforward: when you first applied, you made a set of commitments. At renewal, they check whether you kept them.

If you’ve already missed something and your renewal feels uncertain, it’s not necessarily the end. There’s almost always a way forward. Book a free call with us and we’ll work out the options together😎

Once you’re a resident in Spain, one of the first things worth sorting is your Certificado Digital — an electronic certificate that identifies you online and lets you deal with Spanish authorities from your laptop or phone📲

With it, you can file your tax return, get a certificate confirming you have no outstanding tax debts, pay traffic fines, request your registration history, get a criminal record certificate, and even apply for Spanish citizenship — all without a single trip to a government office.

Any adult can get one, whether you’re a Spanish citizen or a foreign resident. If you’re a non-EU resident, you’ll need your NIE first.

To get it, you verify your identity either in person at an accredited office or through video identification online. After that, you install the certificate on any up-to-date browser or your phone, and that’s it.
If you’ve just received your Digital Nomad Visa, getting your Certificado Digital is the very first thing to do. After that comes registering as autónomo and signing up with social security🇪🇸

InterNations published their yearly report based on surveys from tens of thousands of people who have actually made the move👇🏻

For the fifth time in a row they put Spain in their top-10 among the best countries to relocate to. It’s the top European destination – ahead of Portugal and Luxembourg😎

For quality of life specifically, Spain came first in the world for the fifth consecutive year, beating Singapore, the UAE, Japan, and Austria.

According to the report, 20% of respondents moved to Spain specifically for the quality of life, and 8% came for a relaxed retirement. Almost half want to stay permanently

People particularly highlight the accessible and high-quality healthcare, reliable public transport, and how easy it is to travel across Europe.

If Spain has been on your mind for a while, book a free call with us. We specialise in several visa types – Digital Nomad, Non-Working, Students or Family Reunification Visa – and we’ll be happy to guide you through the whole process😎

Spanish immigration comes with a lot of confusing words. Here’s what they actually mean👇🏻

🔹NIE — Número de Identificación de Extranjero
Your Spanish identification number as a foreigner. It’s not a physical document, just a number — but you’ll need it for almost everything: opening a bank account, signing a rental contract, paying taxes. It’s yours for life and never changes.

🔹 TIE — Tarjeta de Identidad de Extranjero
Your physical residence card. This is what proves you have the legal right to live in Spain. Once your visa is approved, you have 30 days to apply for it. The TIE is what most people mean when they say «residence card.»

🔹 Empadronamiento
Your registration at the local town hall confirming you live at a specific address in Spain. It doesn’t give you residency, but you’ll need it to apply for your TIE, enrol children in school, access public healthcare, and much more. It also needs renewing every two years.

🔹 Autónomo
The Spanish term for self-employed. If you’re a freelancer on the Digital Nomad Visa, registering as autónomo with the tax office and social security is a legal requirement once you have your TIE.

🔹 Cita previa
Simply means «prior appointment.» Almost every government office in Spain works by appointment only — the immigration office, the town hall, the police station. You’ll hear this term constantly, and booking one early is always the right move.

According to CaixaBank’s latest labour market analysis, the most sought-after professionals in Spain right now are in:
🧑‍💻 IT and digital (developers, cybersecurity, data analysts, AI and cloud specialists),

🏨 tourism and hospitality,
👷 green energy and engineering

Getting one as a non-EU citizen is a different story🤷‍♀️

Getting a work permit in Spain as a non-EU citizen isn’t straightforward. The employer has to sponsor the process, and most companies simply won’t take that on for a foreign candidate when there are EU applicants available.

That’s why the Digital Nomad Visa is often the more realistic route in. You move to Spain, keep your existing job and income, and your adult family members get the right to work in Spain just like any other resident.
So while you’re working for your own clients or employer, your partner can start looking for a local job with full legal status😎
