Hello Jim

There is plenty of information about the Non Lucrative visa application on the Internet. Also, Spanish consular offices´ websites include a visa information section containing links to official websites listing the requirements and documentation request.

The most important requirements are that you have clean medical and criminal records, that you are able to cover your living expenses ( and your relatives´ dependent on you, if you want to include them in the application), that you have hired private medical cover in Spain with full cover ( all medical specialties and hospitalization ) and that you have rented a property, or already own one where you and your family will reside. The major issues an applicant has are related to the financial situation and how to show their solvency, which vary among applicants.

The best solution is to ask for professional advice as they will check whether your profile meets the requirements and will confirm the financial documentation you need to prepare.

You can read useful information here. Also, please feel free to email us if you need more detailed information about this type of permit application.
