WHAT IS THE SPAIN NON-LUCRATIVE VISA

The Spain Non-Lucrative Visa allows foreign nationals to reside in Spain without engaging in any professional or work activity within the country.

This visa is commonly used by retirees, individuals with passive income, and applicants who can financially support themselves without working in Spain.

Applicants must demonstrate sufficient financial means and meet all document requirements established by the Spanish Consulate.
 

APOSTILLE REQUIREMENTS FOR SPAIN NON-LUCRATIVE VISA

Spain is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention. All foreign documents must be legalized with an apostille in order to be accepted by Spanish authorities.
 

Each document must be processed correctly depending on whether it is a state-issued document or a federal document. Incorrect apostille processing is one of the most common reasons for delays and application rejections.

Miami Dade Apostille ensures that documents are processed correctly based on Spanish Consulate requirements. If you are unsure which documents require apostille or how they must be prepared, contact us before submitting your application.
 

REQUIRED DOCUMENTS – ALL APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS MUST BE APOSTILLED

Applicants for the Spain Non-Lucrative Visa are typically required to provide:

FBI background check (federal apostille required)
Valid passport
Visa application form
Medical certificate
Proof of financial means
Bank statements
Health insurance documentation
Birth certificate, if applicable
Marriage certificate, if applicable

Each applicable document must be properly apostilled and translated into Spanish before submission.
 

FBI BACKGROUND CHECK APOSTILLE FOR SPAIN

The FBI background check is a required document for the Spain Non-Lucrative Visa.

The Spanish Consulate requires that the FBI background check be issued within the last six months, apostilled at the federal level by the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C., and translated into Spanish.

State or local background checks are not accepted under any circumstances.

Improper processing of the FBI background check will result in delays or rejection of the application. Miami Dade Apostille handles the federal apostille process to ensure compliance.
 

MEDICAL CERTIFICATE REQUIREMENTS

The Spain Non-Lucrative Visa requires a medical certificate stating that the applicant does not suffer from any diseases that may pose a risk to public health.

This document must typically be signed by a licensed physician, notarized, apostilled, and translated into Spanish. Incorrect preparation may result in delays or rejection.
 

FINANCIAL REQUIREMENTS

Applicants must demonstrate sufficient financial means to reside in Spain without working.

The requirement is generally based on approximately 400 percent of Spain’s IPREM, with additional amounts required for dependents.

Financial documentation must be clear and verifiable and may require notarization and apostille depending on how it is prepared.
 

HEALTH INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS

Applicants must obtain private health insurance valid in Spain.

The insurance must provide full coverage, with no deductible, no co-payment, and no coverage limits. Travel insurance is not accepted.
 

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING APPOINTMENTS

All visa appointments and application submissions must be handled directly through the Spanish Consulate or through a licensed attorney or authorized representative.
