Non Lucrative Residence Visa Spain | Private Health Insurance Spain Visa

Spain is the best country to live in the world. With its great weather, incredible food, lively culture, and relaxed lifestyle, Spain is the most popular place in the world for expats to live when moving abroad.

Barcelona Spain

Among all the cities in Spain, Barcelona is the most popular with its amazing beaches coupled with incredible mountain ranges for hiking and skiing, and entrepreneurial and start-up environment. Barcelona is located in the region of Catalonia, also called Catalunya, that has the most beautiful coastal area in the world, Costa Brava. 

Legal Requirements to Live in Spain

When you have citizenship outside the EU, like from USA, you need to obtain a residence visa, sometimes referred to as a residence permit, to live in Spain for longer than 90 days, basically longer than 3 months. 

Residence Visas Types 

There are basically five types of residence visas you can get to live in Spain. But unless you plan to be a student, have a work contract, plan to spend 500,000 euros in cash on real estate, or want to take a chance on the riskiest visa of them all, an entrepreneurial visa, then the safest and most popular visa to obtain is the non lucrative residence visa Spain.
