Renewing up to permanent residency on a Non Lucrative Visa...
Some of our clients whose visas we completed in 2021, and subsequent renewals for years 2 & 3 and 4 & 5, are now coming up to their last bit of red tape and hoop jumping by renewing up to permanent status.
It´s been quite a journey over the last 5 years to get to this point, but it is now possible to secure your future with permanent residency.
The application can be sent electronically (the same as the previous renewals) and presented up to 2 months before the expiry date on your current TIE cards, or up to 3 months afterwards.
The key requirement for this renewal is to demonstrate you have spent sufficient time in Spain, confirming this is your primary place of residence. Therefore no more than 10 months outside of Spain in your first 5 years of temporary residency.
Once the application has been approved, it is then possible to apply for the 10 year "permanente" TIE card with the national police, which will then provide the right to reside and work in Spain 🎉🇪🇸
