How can a lawyer help with the Spain Non-Lucrative Visa?

A Spain Non-Lucrative visa, also known as a Spanish Retirement Visa, is the expat retiree’s ticket to living out their golden years in mostly sunny Spain. We know that understanding the eligibility requirements and gathering the necessary documentation to move to a foreign country can be challenging. Here’s how our legal team can help with applying for a Spain Non-lucrative visa: 

 

Spain Non-Lucrative Visa Requirements

A Spanish Retirement Visa allows non-EU citizens to retire and live in Spain provided they have sufficient economic means to support their lifestyle.

  1. You must receive a fixed monthly amount from a permanent source of income, such as a trust fund or retirement pension. This cannot be a salary, as it could be misunderstood that you are required to work during your stay in Spain. The amount must be at least €2,200 a month, plus €550 a month for every family member that is joining you. To prove this, the applicant typically has to provide bank statements.
  2. You need to have full coverage of private health insurance. Only Spanish and EU citizens can use public healthcare in Spain. Some places, like Madrid, restrict access to their healthcare system for the first year of residency.
  3. You need to show paperwork such as your police record and a medical certificate. If you’re moving with your spouse, you may need paperwork from the civil registry in their home country

What is Proof of Sufficient Income?

The Spanish Government requires evidence that you can support yourself financially. Usually this is confirmed with a bank certificate that displays the account bank and a recent date.

The applicant(s) must provide the following to show that they meet the Spain Non-lucrative visa financial requirements:

  • Bank statements from the last 3-12 months depending on the Spanish Consulate
  • Proof of funds held by the main visa applicant

The funds don’t need to be in a local bank, but every person needs to have an account when moving into Spain. They are necessary for everyday transactions as well as international banking transact

What Documents do I need?

Most non lucrative visa applicants require the following documentation to obtain residence in Spain:

  • A valid Passport
  • Private healthcare insurance from a Spanish provider
  • National Visa Form
  • A medical certificate
  • Bank certificate showing proof of sufficient income
  • A Criminal Record Background check that is legalized

The process is much easier and faster with an immigration lawyer.

She is an exceptional lawyer with extensive expertise in her field. Despite my numerous concerns and questions, she remained remarkably calm and patiently explained everything to me, demonstrating both her exceptional professionalism and personal qualities.Thanks to her assistance, I obtained my TIE in Spain. For anyone seeking immigration advice or services, I highly recommend reaching out to her. Cristina, along with Lexidy, offers a comprehensive solution for realizing your European dreams. Many thanks, Cristina and Lexidy, for your invaluable support.

We get to know about Spanish Golden Visa by property investment through web searches but as a foreigners we have limited knowledge about Golden Visa application compliance and property sales and purchase governing rules and regulations.There are many websites out there listing out how Golden Visa legal system or property ownership in Spain works but we know it is even beyond language bearer that we need an experience, responsive and dedicated specialist to do the job.We come across Lexidy Law, which specialized in assisting foreigners in Golden Visa application and in our case through the property purchases (there are few types of ways for qualifying on Spanish Golden Visa application).Because of the straightforward services price structure of Lexidy and easy to understand explanations of the home-purchasing process, we felt confident after meeting with Mr.Alejandro who is the first person we met of the application process.During our property purchase, the sale of the house has come to a halt and become a complex and problematic deal as a result of sellers’ family dispute on the sales proceed distribution. The argument lasted for two months, pushing back the completion deadline.The Lexidy real estate team has done an excellent job, in particular with the lead by Señor Juan Diego.Juan is highly knowledgeable, competent and down to earth practical lawyer in this field; his previously work experience in real property gives us good spectrum of views and advices with alternative or solutions and he shows his capability in ranking them logically so we do the decision to choose the best fit for ourselves.He promptly provides updates on every development and highlights complication or consequences from both the seller and buyer perspective (nearly every day). His effective and fluent communication skills in written and spoken English saved thousand words for non Spanish language speakers like us; He maintain his client's best interests in mind yet remain independent in giving his advices.Lexidy's real estate team has spent a considerable amount of time and resources helping us have a successful closure to this property purchase.Yes, we are now proud house owners, and Lexidy didn't charge us extra for the additional work and efforts on the process hiccup. We are impressed and thankful with the professionalism.Thankful Lexidy, it would be impossible for us to have a flawless closure and a successful property transaction which now lead us to the final path of Spanish Golden Visa process which handle by Ms.Laura and her team.It is truly a blessing and we sincerely hope that our review might also benefit you in finding a correct choice of Spanish Golden Visa application service provider.

A great law firm that covers anything an expat might need. I needed help with real estate initially, and they also helped me with immigration, taxes, and corporate legal matters. Fantastic people to work with. Alejandro from their real estate and immigration department is my main contact and he is an absolute pleasure to work with. Highly recommended!
