Spain, Part I: Most Common Visa Pathways

According to Spain's Instituto Nacional de Estadística, nearly one in five people living in Spain was born in another country. Spain remains one of the most asked-about countries by our audience, so this is Part I of a two-part series. I sit down with Raquel and Marta of Salas Immigration, registered Spanish immigration attorneys, to break down the main visa routes into Spain: what each one requires, what each one costs, and the mistakes that get applications rejected before they're reviewed. We cover the Non-Lucrative Visa's income floor and its total ban on employment, the documentation timeline you should budget at least two months for, and why the translator you pick matters more than you'd think. Next week in Part II we'll hone in on the Digital Nomad Visa.
