The “FBI Check” Headache
State Dept vs. State Level Apostilles. One mistake means starting over.
Insurance Errors
We know exactly which “sin copago” policy meets the strict 2025 criteria.
Consulate Quirks

Do You Qualify?
(US Requirements)
Income & Savings
You must prove approx. $2,700/month (individual) or $3,400/month (couple) from passive income. We help you present your 1040s or savings correctly.
Health Insurance
US Medicare/BCBS is not accepted. You need a specific Spanish policy with zero copayments and full coverage. We connect you with trusted brokers.
FBI Check & Apostilles
The hardest part: FBI Background Checks and Department of State Apostilles. We manage the federal authentication process to avoid rejections.

Frequently Asked Questions by US Applicants
Can I work remotely for my US company with this Visa?
Officially, the Non-Lucrative Visa does not allow any economic activity. If you need to work remotely, we recommend our Digital Nomad Visa service. We can help you decide which is best for you.
How much income do I need to show for 2025/2026?
You need to prove 400% of the IPREM. For a single applicant, this is approx. €2,400/month. For a couple, it’s higher. We help you convert these figures from USD and prove them correctly.
Do I need private health insurance?
Yes. You must have a private health insurance policy with an insurer authorized to operate in Spain, with no co-payments and full coverage. We can recommend trusted providers.
