Residence visa to live in Spain for non-lucrative purposes

Similar to a retirement visa, but perhaps for people not of retirement age, a non-lucrative visa allows you to live in Spain, but not to work. For this, you need to prove that you have a minimum level of income coming from outside of Spain. Family members should submit all application materials at the same time.

 

What you’ll need to hand in

One original and three copies of a signed and completed Schengen Visa Application Form.

Your passport with one blank page to affix the visa. Note: Your passport must still be valid for at least six months from the date that you apply for your visa.

Proof of residence in the jurisdiction served by that consulate. In the United States, this can be a driver’s license, state ID card, or voter’s registration card.

Four recent, standard passport photos – one for each Schengen visa form (original and copies).

One original and three copies of proof of income at a minimum of $75,000 per year plus $15,000 per year for each additional family member.

One original and three copies of proof of housing.

One original and three copies of a certificate from the police authorities of all places where you have lived (for at least six months) in the last five years, showing that you have no police record.

One original and three copies of a recent official medical statement (within three months of your application date) stating that you are in good physical and mental health.

One original and three copies of proof of full international health/accidental insurance, with a minimum coverage of $37,000.

A non-refundable application fee of $100. Check with your local consulate about how to pay the fee. At the Chicago consulate, for example, you can only pay by money order.
