A residence route for people who can support themselves from passive income or savings without working. It starts with a one-year permit and normally renews for two years, then two more. ### Non-Lucrative or Digital Nomad: which do I need? Use Non-Lucrative for passive income and no professional work. Use Digital Nomad when you actively work for foreign employers or clients. The work ban is the deciding boundary. ### Where do I apply? At the Spanish consulate in your country of legal residence. The initial application is not an online filing from inside Spain. ### How long does it take? Plan about two to four months including the consular appointment. The actual range depends on the consulate. ### How much income or savings do I need? About €2,400 a month or €28,800 a year for the main applicant, plus about €600 a month or €7,200 a year for each family member. ### Do I pay tax in Spain? More than 183 days usually creates Spanish tax residence and standard taxation on worldwide income. The Beckham regime does not apply to the Non-Lucrative no-work route. ### What does the Relovisa fee cover? Case review, evidence planning, forms, document preparation, translation coordination, insurance guidance, the consular dossier and a TIE and renewal roadmap. The exact service fee is confirmed after the case review. ### Can my family come? Yes. Spouse or partner and children can be included, with about €600 a month of additional proof for each family member. ### Can I work remotely on this route? No. The Non-Lucrative route permits no professional activity, including remote work for a foreign employer or clients. Use Digital Nomad if you need to keep working. ### How do the renewals and day-count rules work? The permit runs one year, then renews for two years, then two more. Continued income, residence and absence conditions need to stay satisfied to protect the year-five long-term path. ### What commonly causes a refusal, and what happens then? Weakly documented income and unsuitable health insurance are common avoidable problems. For a directly run case, if a refusal follows a complete document set you provided, we re-file once at no additional service fee, on the conditions in the signed engagement terms. ### Does the time count toward long-term residence and citizenship? Continuous legal residence can count toward long-term status at year five and the general citizenship route at year ten. Individual nationality and absence rules still apply. ## Booking [Book a consultation or contact Relovisa](https://tobira.ai/@relovisa). Booking requires your explicit agreement.
