Get your Spanish citizenship in record time

Getting the Spanish passport is easier than you imagine. Thanks to agreements with Ibero-American countries, you can apply for nationality after just 2 years of legal residence.
Immigration experts will accompany you at every stage, starting from a legal residency without investment (Non-Lucrative) to the success of your citizenship application. Our commitment is to transform a complex procedure into a direct, transparent, and guaranteed path for you and your family.

What is the Non-Lucrative Residence in Spain?

The Non-Lucrative Residency in Spain It is an authorization that allows non-EU citizens to reside in Spain for a period exceeding 90 days without engaging in work activities.

It is the preferred option for those who wish to enjoy their wealth, income, or savings in Spain without the obligation of investing in large real estate assets.

Can it be requested from Spain?

No. By law, this visa must be processed at the Spanish Diplomatic Mission or Consular Office in your country of origin or legal residence. Furthermore, there is no direct way to apply for it while staying as a tourist in Spain. At Cohen y Aguirre, we prepare your foolproof application so that you can attend your consular appointment with the maximum guarantee of approval.

How many funds need to be proven?

You must prove the availability of approximately €32,000 for the primary applicant and an additional €8,000 for each family member, figures calculated according to the current IPREM. Likewise, these funds can be demonstrated through savings or passive income and are the essential requirement to ensure that you can support yourself in Spain without the need to work.

Can I buy a business?

Yes, you can own a company or business, but this visa does not authorize you to work in it. However, if your goal is to manage your own project, after the first year we can help you modify your residency to obtain a self-employed or employee work permit.

For how long is it granted?

The initial residence permit is valid for one year from your entry into Spain. Thanks to the recent immigration reform, subsequent renewals grant you an additional four-year period, so now you can enjoy prolonged stability before applying for long-term residence or nationality.
