N332 – Non-Lucrative Visa (NLV) applications with Sun Lawyers
This is a visa enabling British citizens to spend more than 90 days at a time in Spain (but not to work). This is the most popular visa option for those choosing to retire and live in Spain. Also, an opportunity for UK over-stay retirees to re-set their Spanish residency status.
The NLV Application is via an in-person meeting (15-20 minutes typically) at one of the UK Spanish Consulates. (London, Manchester or Edinburgh).
The minimum income needed to apply for a NLV is €27,155 per annum for an individual or €33,893 for a couple. There are different sources of funds that can be gathered together to meet this financial means threshold, and we can help you.
Those in receipt of a UK State Pension can access healthcare in Spain via the S1 form. Those not in receipt will need annual private healthcare provision until the reach state pension age.
Other elements forming the application include. Completed visa application forms, recent colour photo, original passport (12 months minimum until expiry and two blank pages), ACRO criminal record certificate and medical certificate. These two certificates are to be legalised via Hague Apostille Certificate and translated into Spanish.
Note, if you are buying property >€500,000 you may be eligible for a Golden Visa.
UPDATE - For clarification about the non-lucrative visa.
-‐------------------------------------------------------
The non-lucrative visa is for people wanting to permanently relocate to Spain and who don't need to work. It is the ideal visa for retirees. It is not a way that tourists can extend their 90 day stay in every 180 I am afraid. The visa is exchanged for a 12 month temporary residency card (TIE Card) once you are in Spain. That becomes permanent residency after 5 years (assuming all criteria have been met). You can email any questions to
