How long is the non-lucrative visa valid and how do I renew it?

The non-lucrative visa leads to an initial residence period that is generally valid for one year. Renewals are submitted in Spain at the immigration office of your province, not at a consulate abroad.

At renewal you must show you still meet the financial requirements and have genuinely lived in Spain, typically demonstrating presence in the country for the majority of the year. Subsequent renewal periods are usually longer than the first, as long as conditions continue to be met.
