Spain Visa Requirements: Do You Qualify?

Check whether your income or savings meet Spain's digital nomad and non-lucrative visa requirements for your whole family.
How it works

Using the checker

  1. Enter who moves with you: the adults besides you (a spouse or partner, dependent parents) and the children.
  2. Enter your monthly income before tax and the savings you can show.
  3. Each route shows the amount it asks of your household and whether your figures meet it — by income, or by savings where the rules accept them.

How the amounts are worked out

Spain ties its visa thresholds to two official figures that change by law: IPREM, the public income indicator (€600 a month in 2026), and the minimum wage (SMI), €1,221 a month in 14 payments for 2026.

  • Non-lucrative visa — for living on a pension, rents or savings without working: 400% of IPREM for the applicant and 100% for each family member, for the whole first year. €2,400 a month or €28,800 in savings for one person, €3,000 / €36,000 for a couple.
  • Digital nomad visa — for remote work for employers or clients outside Spain: 200% of the minimum wage, 75% for the first family member and 25% for each further one. Consulates use the 14-payment figure (€2,442 a month for one person); some offices and advisers use the 12-payment equivalent (€2,849), so plan with some margin.
  • Golden visa — closed to new applications since 3 April 2025.

Money is not the only requirement

Every route also asks for private health insurance, a clean criminal record and, for the digital nomad visa, at least three months with the employer, a company active for a year and a degree or three years of experience. A lawyer checks the whole file before you apply, and helps after arrival with the NIE and the TIE residence card.
