1. Can I obtain a non-profit residence visa or a visa for retirees?<\/h3>\n

Yes, the non-profit residence visa is common for retirees who wish to live in Spain without working, as long as they can demonstrate economic solvency.<\/p>\n

2. What are the minimum financial requirements to obtain the visa?<\/h3>\n

For the year 2025, it is required to demonstrate an income or savings of approximately \u20ac2,400 per month for the applicant, and an additional \u20ac600 for each accompanying family member.<\/p>\n

3. Do I need private health insurance or can I access public health care?<\/h3>\n

Pensioners from outside the EU must have private health insurance when applying for a visa. After residing in Spain, they may choose to pay Social Security or continue with private insurance.<\/p>\n

4. How are pensions taxed in Spain for expatriates?<\/h3>\n

Public pensions are usually taxed in the country of origin, but private pensions may be taxed in Spain, depending on the double taxation agreement between the two countries.<\/p>\n
