Non-profit residence permit Spain
Would you like to live legally in Spain without working? Do you have 27,115 euros, plus 6,779 euros for each child?
In this case, you may be interested in obtaining a Non-Profit Residence permit. This type of residence is initially granted for one year. After this first year, you can choose to extend the Non-Profit Residence visa for another year. Foreigners must apply for residency through the consulate of their country of origin, and if approved, the applicant can legally reside in Spain for one year. We must consider that even if the residence is approved, the person does not have the right to carry out work activities.

How many financial resources must be accredited in order to apply for a Non-Profit Visa?
A very important consideration to bear in mind is that applicants must demonstrate that they have sufficient financial capacity to apply for this residency.
- For their monthly maintenance, 400% of IPREM in 2021 would be 27,115 euros.
- For the maintenance of the other members of the family, 100% of the IPREM (6,779 euros) for each member.

What is the deadline for receiving my resolution?
The resolution period is approximately three months. These three months are calculated from the day after “the competent authority has received the entry in its register”.
If the competent authority does not provide a solution after this deadline, it is understandable that the application has been rejected by administrative silence.
