Spain — Residency: Required Documents

The documents required for a non-working (non-lucrative) residence visa in Spain depend on the nationality and purpose of stay. Applicants are generally expected to submit complete documentation when applying through the appropriate Spanish diplomatic mission or immigration authority. Foreign-issued documents may require certified translation into Spanish, legalization, or an apostille, depending on the issuing country and applicable international agreements.
