Hi SeanM,

Unfortunately, I don't have an answer to your question, but your question did spark my interest. I'm a freelancer here in the States looking to move back to Spain for an extended period. I'd like to apply for the non-lucrative visa but am having trouble understanding the requirement about income. I don't have the savings to support myself for a year, though I do have sufficient monthly income. What exactly did you say to the Consulate when you explained your similiar situation to them?

Thanks!
Gabe
