About NLV.

✅ Non-EU citizens who possess enough financial resources to support themselves without taking up any work or professional activities can apply for the non-lucrative residence visa in Spain.‍

✅ This visa is among the most straightforward paths to achieving permanent residency in Spain, given that one satisfies the income and savings requirements. Additionally, the visa allows for family members to accompany the applicant.

✅ This authorization will permit you to stay in Spain for a year from the time you enter its territory. It serves as an initial residence permit. Then, you will be able to renew it every 2 years (that is the length of the renewal), until you get the permanent residency (after 5 years in the country).
