Modify Visa Type? Non-Lucrative >> ?? by lashend
Dear °µÍø½ûÇø Experts :) Im awaiting, with fingers crossed, a non-lucrative residence visa now. I hope to make this move to Spain permanent, and I thought Id laid out a good plan. My good plan is turning out to be not so well laid: Id thought that I ...

Just a quick update. I realize that I posted Mariana Solla's "old" info. She has her own firm now, Oakwood Abogados (www.oakwoodabogados.com). (And I still give her a great endorsement :) !) Read More


Retirement Visa - Americans by ReggieZ
My husband and I are recently retired and want to live in Europe. We have friends in Spain, and are strongly considering moving there. I would be interested in communicating with someone who has gone through the process. Thanks so much.

Dear Reggie, I've lived in Spain for a bunch of shorter periods (3-9 months) through the years (for work and study), so I was more or less familiar with how to go about renting an apartment. When I thought I might want to buy a place, I went ... Read More

Hi Reggie, I've just gone through the process. I'm not in exactly the same situation - I'm not retired as such - but I did apply for the non-lucrative visa (as a USA-American). (I assume that's the visa you're thinking about?) ... Read More

Thanks, RibeiraSacra … So: Would I just go to the AEAT (or, as I'd do, its website - I already have the certificado digital to pay property taxes) and now file the IPRF? Even though I don't have either a trabajo por cuenta propia or ... Read More

Great reply, PapaLima. I think you're right on. I've spoken with a few Immigration lawyers in the past week, and they more or less reinforce what you say: something like "Well, the problem is, the different agencies really aren't ... Read More

Dear Ribeira Sacra, I've read exactly the same thing you have, but do you see the difficulty/inconsistency between the fiscal and immigration requirements in play? The Consulates/Extranjeria authorize people to enter Spain with the ... Read More

Thank you, Truth489! I think you've hit the nail on the head. In fact, in the last couple of days, I've touched base with a few immigration lawyers about just this. I wonder if you wouldn't mind putting me in touch with your sister ... Read More


Non-Lucrative Visa Requirements (Non - EU) by kitthornton
Good day, I'm Kit Thornton, a lawyer and author from the United States. My wife and I intend to retire to Valencia in February 2019. We're familiar with most of the requirements regarding documentation, background checks and etc., but what ...

Dear Kit, Just want to add my two cents, since I'm not certain you've gotten the answer with any solidity yet. I've just gone through the non-lucrative visa application process myself. The short of the story is that Exteriores sets ... Read More

Dear Baldchick, Good wishes as you sweat out these final months! You write that you're commuting to work in the US. Are you getting on planes all the time ... or are you telecommuting? Either way, how are you dealing with taxes? I've ... Read More

Dear Johncar, Thanks for your reply. I had thought I'd communicated it clearly, but I see that I did not, that I am trying to comply with "all the different rules in play" here: I think/thought I understood that I *should pay taxes ... Read More
