Living in Fuerteventura on the non-lucrative route

The non-lucrative visa is the door for non-EU citizens who want to wake up to island sun in Fuerteventura living off savings or passive income, without taking on work in Spain. Plenty of our clients are early retirees and remote-income earners who fall for the place on holiday and decide to stay.

What you have to show

  • Proof of steady passive income or enough savings to cover the year
  • Full private medical cover taken out with a Spanish insurer
  • A spotless police record, apostilled and ready to go
  • A doctor's note confirming you carry no risk to public health

From the visa to island residence

The visa is granted at the consulate before you arrive. Once you are in Fuerteventura you tie up the NIE, the TIE and the empadronamiento. We choreograph all the local moves so nothing falls through the cracks between offices.

Frequently asked questions

The non-lucrative visa is built for passive income rather than active work. If you earn from remote work, a different permit may suit you better — ask us and we will steer you right.
