Spanish Resident Card
To move and stay in Spain for a long period, you will need to obtain a residence permit. Today, Spain offers several options:
THE NON-LUCRATIVE RESIDENCE
- The non-lucrative residence can be issued to citizens of countries outside the EU. This type of residence permit gives the legal right to reside in Spain without the right to work. Therefore, the applicant must confirm the presence of a stable income received anywhere in the world.
- Non-lucrative residency does not give the right to the holder to be hired by any company but does not prohibit opening his own business in Spain, hiring workers, and having income from the activities of his company.
- After the first extension of the residence permit, that is, after one year, it is possible to modify the residence permit with the right to work.
- According to the Spanish law, a citizen who has received a non-lucrative residence must stay in Spain for more than 183 days a year. Failure to comply with this condition may result in the cancellation of a residence permit.
