Spain is a top choice for those who want a secure home base in Europe with the freedom to move easily. Since the old property-investment visa ended in early 2025, many investors are now choosing the Passive Income (NLV) route. This path lets you and your family gain legal residency by simply showing you have a steady income from things like dividends, rental properties, or private portfolios. It’s a smart move because it keeps your cash free for other uses while giving you full access to 29 European countries and a safe, high-quality lifestyle for the long term.

Overview of the Spain European Residency Program
About the Spain Passive Income Visa Progrma
Spain’s Passive Income Visa, also known as the Non-Lucrative Visa, offers individuals and families the opportunity to obtain long-term residency in Spain without the need for active employment or a traditional real estate investment. Designed for applicants with sufficient financial means, the program provides a practical and accessible pathway to life in one of Europe’s most desirable destinations.
The process begins with structuring a qualifying passive-income investment, followed by document preparation and submission at the Spanish consulate. After government review and approval, applicants collect their visa, enter Spain, and receive their residence card. Residency is renewable every two years, providing a clear and manageable pathway to long-term residence and, for eligible nationalities, eventual citizenship.
Investment Options for the Spain Passive Income Visa
The Spain Passive Income Visa is supported by a single, structured investment route designed to generate qualifying passive income while preserving capital. This option allows applicants to meet Spain’s residency requirements without purchasing real estate or making a non-refundable donation.
Structured Investment in Company Notes
Investment-based route:
€150,000 investment in company notes
+ €23,400 per dependent
This investment is structured to provide monthly passive income payouts over the term, while ensuring the return of the initial capital. Over the first three years, applicants receive monthly distributions, followed by the return of the remaining capital in the fourth year, with interest. An option to reinvest is also available at the end of the term, offering flexibility for long-term planning.
