Living in Spain: which residence option fits you

By Beatriz Ochoa de Retana Framis - Octubre 2026

At our firm we analyse which residence option fits your personal situation.

Non-lucrative residence: for those who wish to live in Spain without working and can show sufficient financial means and private health insurance.

Digital nomad visa: for professionals working remotely for foreign companies or clients who meet the legal requirements.

Non-resident stay: lets you enjoy the home for up to 90 days in every 180, under the Schengen rules.

Legal analysis. The Golden Visa through property investment ceased to be available on 3 April 2025. Each alternative has different requirements and tax consequences, so it's worth planning the purchase of the home and the residence situation together.
