VISAS, IMMIGRATION & PROPERTY

Simplifying Your Move to Spain

Securing your residency visa and Spanish property are essential first steps. We coordinate visa approval and property purchase to ensure seamless relocation timing, with properties verified for visa requirements.

The 90/180-day rule allows visa-free visitors to stay in the Schengen Area for up to 90 days within any rolling 180-day period, meaning there is no fixed start or end date and the count moves day by day. Exceeding this limit can lead to serious consequences such as fines, deportation, entry bans, or questioning by authorities. The Schengen Visa Calculator (www.visa-calculator.com) helps third-country nationals accurately track past travel, calculate remaining legal stay days, and plan future trips without risking overstays by showing how many days are left and the earliest possible dates for longer stays. While the tool is easy to use and reliable, it is for guidance only, as final decisions on authorised stay always rest with the relevant Schengen Member State authorities.

Visa Calculator

This visa is perfect for individuals who wish to live in Spain without working. It’s ideal for retirees and requires proof that you have sufficient financial resources to support yourself and your dependents.

For long-term residents in Spain, having a Spanish driving license is a legal necessity. While short-term visitors may use foreign licenses, non-EU nationals must exchange their license or apply for a new one if they plan to stay long-term.

Non-Lucrative Visa Spain
Have a question?

Frequently Asked Question

What is the income requirement for the Non-Lucrative Visa?

The Non-Lucrative Visa requires proof of a minimum passive income of €28,800 per year for individuals, €36,000 per year for couples, plus €7,200 per year for each dependent child. This is calculated as 400% of the Spanish IPREM (Public Income Indicator).

Income must be passive and stable. Acceptable sources include pensions, rental income, investment dividends, savings interest, or annuities. You cannot work in Spain on this visa. Income must be verifiable through bank statements, pension letters, or investment portfolio documentation covering the past 6-12 months.

Note: Income requirements are updated annually based on Spanish IPREM. Figures shown are for 2025/2026 applications.

Move to Spain from UK

Digital Nomad Visa applicants must demonstrate a minimum income of €31,752 per year (€2,646 per month). This is calculated as 200% of the Spanish minimum wage.

Income must come from remote work with employers or clients based outside Spain. Acceptable work includes freelancing, remote employment contracts, or running an online business registered outside Spain. You must prove at least one year of remote work history with your current employer or clients.

Unlike the Non-Lucrative Visa, Digital Nomad Visa holders CAN legally work but only for foreign companies, not Spanish employers. Required documentation includes employment contracts, client agreements, proof of income (bank statements, tax returns), and evidence of remote work capacity.

Note: Income requirements are updated annually based on the Spanish minimum wage. Figures shown are for 2025/2026 applications.

MyMoveSpain coordinates three core services for UK, USA, Canadian, and Australian citizens relocating to Costa Cálida, Murcia:

1. Spanish Visa Coordination
We guide you through Non-Lucrative Visa, Digital Nomad Visa, and Entrepreneur Visa applications in partnership with Heniam & Associates’ legal team. Services include eligibility assessment, document preparation, consulate appointment support, and application submission.

2. Property Search & Rental Assistance
We help you find properties in Los Alcázares, Camposol, La Manga Club, and across Costa Cálida. Services include property viewings, due diligence, purchase coordination, long-term rental assistance, and Spanish mortgage guidance if financing is required.

3. Settlement Support
Once you arrive, we assist with NIE registration, padrón enrollment, TIE card application, healthcare setup (private insurance connections), bank account opening, and utility connections.

Our unique Month 4 synchronisation system coordinates property completion with visa approval, you receive keys and a TIE card the same week.

We specialise exclusively in Costa Cálida, the Murcia region of Spain’s southeastern Mediterranean coast. Our primary areas include:

Los Alcázares – Beachfront town on Mar Menor lagoon, popular with UK expats, close to beaches and golf courses. Properties from €120,000 (apartments) to €800,000 (luxury villas).

La Manga Club – Championship golf resort with three Arnold Palmer courses, Grand Hyatt hotel, and tennis academy. Properties from €180,000 (apartments) to €1.5M (luxury villas). Ideal for golf lifestyle relocations.

Camposol – Established expat community near Mazarrón, affordable properties, strong support network. Properties from €80,000 (apartments) to €350,000 (villas).

We also cover Mar Menor, Torre Pacheco, San Javier, Mazarrón, and Cartagena areas throughout Costa Cálida.

Our team is based in Murcia with in-person property viewings, local market knowledge, and bilingual English-Spanish support.

Month 4 synchronisation is our unique system that coordinates property completion with visa approval timing, so you complete your purchase and receive your residence permit (TIE card) the same week.

Traditional approach (inefficient):
Month 1: Buy property and get keys
Month 1-2: Apply for visa
Month 6-8: Visa approved, collect TIE card
Problem: You pay mortgage, community fees, utilities, and insurance on an empty property for 4-6 months while awaiting visa approval.
Wasted cost: €4,000-€10,000

MyMoveSpain Method 4 approach:
Month 1: Begin visa application
Month 2-3: Find property, negotiate purchase
Month 4: Visa approved AND property completion
Month 4: Collect keys and TIE card same week
Savings: €4,000-€10,000 (no empty property costs)

We coordinate visa timelines with property conveyancing schedules, ensuring neither process waits on the other.

Typical timeline from consultation to arrival in Spain:

Non-Lucrative Visa: 4-6 months total

  • Month 1: Document preparation (income proof, medical insurance, background check)
  • Month 2: Consulate appointment and application submission
  • Month 3-4: Consulate processing (varies by country, UK typically faster)
  • Month 4: Visa approval and travel to Spain
  • Month 5: Collect TIE residence card from Spanish immigration office

Digital Nomad Visa: 3-5 months total

  • Similar process but slightly faster in some consulates
  • Remote work documentation adds preparation time upfront

Factors affecting timeline:

  • Your consulate’s processing speed (London, New York, Toronto, Sydney vary)
  • Document preparation time (6-8 weeks if starting from scratch)
  • Appointment availability (some consulates book 4-6 weeks ahead)

Our 95% approval rate comes from thorough document review before submission, minimising delays from rejected applications.

What are the costs for Spanish visa and relocation?

MyMoveSpain Service Fees:

  • 15-minute visa eligibility consultation: FREE
  • 30-minute property + visa consultation: FREE
  • Visa coordination service: Included with property purchase or €[contact for pricing] standalone
  • Property search service: Included (commission paid by seller)

Spanish Government Visa Fees:

  • Visa application fee: €80-€160 (varies by consulate)
  • TIE card fee: €15.93
  • Background check (FBI/DBS): €40-€100 depending on country

Additional Costs:

  • Private health insurance: €50-€150/month per person (required for visa)
  • NIE registration: €15
  • Property purchase costs: 10-13% of purchase price (taxes, legal fees, notary)

Total estimated visa + relocation costs: €2,000-€4,000 (excluding property purchase)

Our Month 4 synchronisation saves €4,000-€10,000 in empty property costs, offsetting most relocation expenses.

Since 2019, we have coordinated 300+ successful Spanish relocations with a 95% visa approval rate.

Our track record:

  • 300+ visa applications submitted (2021-2025)
  • 95% approval rate (verified by Heniam & Associates legal team)
  • Primary markets: UK (60%), USA (20%), Canada (12%), Australia (8%)
  • Average client age: 45-70 (retirees and remote workers)
  • Property transactions: €150,000-€500,000 average purchase price

Why our approval rate is high:
We conduct thorough eligibility screening before application submission. If your income, documentation, or circumstances don’t meet requirements, we advise against applying rather than risk rejection. Our legal partnership with Heniam & Associates ensures applications are reviewed by qualified immigration lawyers before consulate submission.

Based in Murcia with bilingual English-Spanish support, local property market knowledge, and established relationships with consulates, banks, and healthcare providers.

We specialise in applications from UK, USA, Canadian, and Australian citizens, our four primary markets representing 95% of our clients.

Why these countries:
These are non-EU/EEA nationals requiring Spanish residence visas for stays beyond 90 days. EU citizens have freedom of movement and don’t need our visa services (though we can still assist with property purchase and settlement).

Other nationalities:
We occasionally work with clients from New Zealand, South Africa, and other Commonwealth countries. Requirements are similar, but visa processing times and consulate procedures vary. Contact us to confirm we can support your nationality.

Country-specific considerations:

  • UK citizens: Post-Brexit, subject to the same rules as non-EU nationals. Most common client base.
  • USA citizens: FBI background checks required (6-8 week processing)
  • Canadian citizens: RCMP background checks required

Australian citizens: AFP background checks required

No, property purchase is NOT required for Non-Lucrative Visa or Digital Nomad Visa approval. You can rent long-term accommodation instead.

Visa accommodation proof options:

Option 1: Long-Term Rental
Provide a 12-month rental contract as accommodation proof for a visa application. We assist with finding rentals in Los Alcázares, Camposol, and La Manga Club (€650-€1,500/month depending on size and location).

Option 2: Property Purchase
Purchase property before or during the visa process. Property ownership provides strong accommodation proof and demonstrates financial stability, but it isn’t mandatory.

Option 3: Conditional Purchase
Secure property “subject to visa approval” and use the purchase agreement as accommodation proof. Complete the purchase after the visa is granted. This is our Month 4 synchronisation approach.

Why clients often buy property:

  • Monthly cost similar to renting (€800/month rent vs €900/month mortgage + fees on €200k property)
  • Build equity instead of paying rent

Rental income potential if spending time in the home country

Once you arrive in Spain with your visa, we assist with all administrative registration and setup:

NIE Registration (Número de Identidad de Extranjero)
Your Spanish tax identification number, required for all official processes. We book appointments, prepare documentation, and accompany you to the police station (Comisaría) for fingerprinting and registration. Processing time: same-day collection.

Padrón Enrollment
Registration at your local town hall proving Spanish address. Required for healthcare access, TIE card application, and various services. We handle town hall appointments and documentation. Processing time: same-day or 1-2 weeks, depending on municipality.

TIE Card Application
Foreigner Identity Card (Tarjeta de Identidad de Extranjero) – your physical residence permit. We coordinate appointments, prepare documents, and guide you through fingerprinting. Processing time: 4-6 weeks for card collection.

Healthcare Setup
Private health insurance connections (required for visa), registration with local medical centres, and explanation of Spanish healthcare system.

Bank Account Opening
Connections with expat-friendly banks (Sabadell, BBVA, Santander), appointment scheduling, and documentation support.

Utility Connections
Electricity, water, internet, and phone service setup for your property.
