Spain non-lucrative visa
Spain non-lucrative visa allows individuals to enter Spain for residence purposes without any intention of working in the country. To apply for an NLV Spain visa, you must demonstrate sufficient financial means to support yourself without seeking employment in Spain. After entering Spain with this visa, you can apply for a non-lucrative residence permit. Initially valid for two years, the permit is renewable for up to five additional years. But there’s a catch.
