About
Live full-time in Spain without working—ideal for retirees with passive income or savings
Spain’s Retirement Visa, officially known as the Non-Lucrative Visa, is a popular route for non-EU nationals seeking to enjoy a relaxed, secure, and culturally rich retirement in Europe. Whether you prefer the coastal lifestyle of the Costa del Sol or the tranquillity of Andalucía’s whitewashed villages, this visa offers a renewable path to long-term residency—without the need to work or invest. The income requirement is modest by international standards, making it accessible to those with pensions, property income, or savings.
Through our Private Office Hub, we connect clients to experienced Spanish immigration lawyers, healthcare providers, and relocation experts who manage every step—from documentation to post-arrival registration. Whether you’re retiring solo or with your spouse, we ensure a smooth transition with support on health insurance, Spanish banking, and more—all handled by professionals who understand the specific needs of retirees.
