About

If you want to stay in Spain without an income-generating activity (job or occupation), you can apply for the Spanish Non-Lucrative Visa, as long as you have sufficient means of subsistence. You cannot work with this visa.

Foreign citizens who have arrived in Spain must apply for an identity document at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or at the competent police station within one month of the date of entry into Spain.

Reminder: Spain will soon adopt an official Digital Nomad Visa.
