The non-lucrative visa offered by Spain is a popular option for those seeking permanent residency in the country for the purposes of living there or retiring there. If you don't want to work in Spain or are retiring there, this is your best bet.
The non-lucrative residence residency is a type of Spanish visa for those from outside the European Union who have enough money to support themselves without working. It's fine to bring your family, as they are considered part of the applicant pool.
With this visa, you can enter Spain and stay for an entire year. Its primary drawback is that you are legally barred from working or conducting business in Spain. To rephrase, you are not allowed to work for any local company. It operates exclusively for charitable purposes.
▶️ Non-lucrative visa Spain requirements:
• You can maintain yourself and any family members without having to work.
• Have adequate private medical insurance in Spain or international ex-pat health insurance.
• Are in good physical condition.
• You don't have any severe criminal convictions on your record.
▶️ People who applied for a non-lucrative visa from the Philippines and got approved:
• They are of retirement age
• Exceeded the financial requirements
• Used a lawyer throughout the entire application process
• Write a convincing letter of intent
▶️ Challenges you might encounter when you arrive in Spain:
• Applying for a bank account
• Finding an apartment
• You need to show income from a current job
• Finding fellow NLV people
• Figuring out which city to live
So, watch the video till the end and share your thoughts on how was your experience with applying for the Non-Lucrative Visa in the comment section.

Do you have to take the Spanish test and Dele exam for Culture and History? We found that our Ayuntamiento here in Madrid offers free Spanish lessons at the Adult Education Center.
Yes we still have to take both the Dele and the CCSE. We’re hoping to take it next year before we apply for citizenship so that it’s out of the way. Here’s hoping we pass on the first try. 🤞🏼. That’s so nice they give free lessons!
Omg thank you so much! This is so informative. You are right not alot of videos with these topics. I have been searching and having headaches trying to understand. Subscribing!
Thank you and good luck!!! 😊
Glad I saw your vlog here by chance.

Hi Paul! It was awesome meeting you at the airport today. Thanks for the heads up and our very best wishes to you and your wife. -Ryan Tajonera
Great to meet you too brother! Enjoy Palawan! Welcome back 🤘🏼
El Nido is WOW! Hope you are having a blast there. BTW, my wife and I are exploring the NLV in Spain and I would really appreciate any added helpful information or any guidance from you guys. Chances are, we will begin our application early next year via NYC consulate. It is a blessing that you shared this information to us. 😊
@@timetravelrye DM us on Instagram! Would love to help!
Excellent choice with Valencia. Recently been to San Sebastian, Seville and Valencia and would be in Cadiz in few weeks’ time. I love Spain.
Thank you! Iba talaga ang Spain 💕
Thank you for making this video! Very helpful po.
You’re welcome!
Thnks you for all the detailed infos!
Thank you!
great job both one ♥♥💕
Thank you for watching!
Paul y Bea, Bravo! Spain is one of ' Heaven on Earth' to live, live, live, you look dashing and ravishing, the stupendous explanations of visa's, see you after Tuscany. adios, Manolo
Nice video. Buti nalaman ko na for retirement pla etong visa na ito. I am planning to apply pero i changed my mind. Salamat po sa video. Very informative 👍
Salamat din! Mukhang malapit na dumating yung digital nomad visa so baka dun ka maging interesado. We’ll make a video about that once it comes out so stay tuned 😊
@@EverythingIsBoffo Mukang interesting nga ang nomad visa for digital workers. Sana ma-introduce na ng spain. Thx ulit sa info
Very informative, it’s exactly what I was looking for. Have you guys met someone who was a dual citizen from the US and how it affected their US Citizenship?
Haven’t met in person but some are in the FB groups. I recommend joining our Moving to Spain Fb group so you can ask a broader audience! Thanks for watching!
full of positive energy...
I just came from Spain a few weeks ago. Fell in love with it and thinking of moving. This video was so helpful. I’m actually trying to trace my lineage there as to my knowledge we have roots in Galicia and I believe we also have an ancestor that worked for the Spanish government while they were in our country. I’m kind of aiming for whichever path is necessary, I was thinking of the non-lucrative Visa as well and just plan to study further education while in Spain and letting the 2 years pass. Hope to meet you guys or talk to you, by lawyer did you mean lawyers based in the Philippines who helped with the application?
Hi! The lineage might be a problem, I think they only allow parents or grandparents to pass on the nationality to their children so unless your grandparents are Spanish citizens this route might not for you. BUT go and read up on this at the Manila consulate website to be sure. Our friends had lawyers based in Spain. Good luck to you!
@@EverythingIsBoffo True. Parents, grandparents or great grandparent.
Love all of it ❤️
Thank you 😊
I am working in cayman islands, and thinking of moving to spain. I have a friend now a citizen of spain already, working as a housekeeper.
Nice! If you’re able to, do it. We love living here, life is much simpler, people are kinder, and my blood pressure has never looked better.
Thanks for sharing this! Was planning on moving to Canada but the horror stories I watched onyoutube made me consider other countries.
I haven’t been to Canada so can’t comment, except that it’s super cold there! I don’t think I will survive their weather, so we eliminated Canada as an option right away.
My best ever video....
Hi guys, thanks for the informative video! Did you present all of your accounts showing your total net worth? Or just the accounts that have enough balance to meet the IPREM financial requirements? Tyia.
We showed most of our liquid accounts because we want to leave no doubts and get the approval.
Great job! I have been following you guys for quite a while. My question is I'm an American citizen but was born in the Philippines. Do I qualify for Spanish citizenship if I live in Spain for 2 yrs using NLV? Keep doing your job. You are both 👏
Thanks! Unfortunately that doesn’t make you Filipino, Philippines does not grant nationality by being born there, one of your parents must be Filipino when you were born.
@@EverythingIsBoffo I have US and Philippines Passport - can I get the citizenship they NLV still? Thanks!
@@diormecall9893 yes you can apply for the NLV if you meet the requirements, and as a Filipino you can apply for citizenship afterwards once you meet the requirements, can be as early as 2 years.
@@EverythingIsBoffo I am actually in Valencia since July. I just realized you are here too. I've been summer-ing here since 2017 when it was different jajajaja. Thanks for the infos.
Amazing news from you guys...May retire there
Tip - Learn Spanish at an official Instituto de Cervantes language school. Theyre GLOBAL! Then you can study the dele a2 there and the diploma is valid for your nationality application and no need to sit it !
Also- use a Spanish extranjeria Lawyer to apply. Much quicker and simpler.
Yes we recommend hiring our friends at Bureaucracy.es/everythingisboffo for immigration help! And learning the tests provided by the Instituto definitely helped us prepare for the actual A2 test.
Thank you for this very informative video. Currently processing my NLV from PHL. What do we put on the address of the application form when we still do not have an apartment since we're still in PHL processing the visa? Thank you
Hi! On ours we just put Valencia, Spain because that’s the city we wanted to live in. Each consulate can be different though… if you are able to ask the consulate maybe they can better guide you. Or leave it blank and then fill it in during your appointment? I also brought blank copies just in case I made a mistake and needed to redo. Hope this helps!
@@EverythingIsBoffo Thanks very much for your help. Will just leave the form blank. Unfortunately, the Consulado in Manila does not respond to email inquiries., so can't ask them. Your videos are very helpful. I play these over and over while in the process of our NLV application! Please keep doing more videos and hope to connect when we are in Barcelona 🙂
Hi! So glad to have found your page. I have a question please. Me and my family are residents in the UAE and we are planning to immigrate to spain. Pwede ba kami and my kids to stay in spain while my husband works in the uae to support us? Anong visa yung iaapply namin ng mga bata to enter spain and live there?
Hi! I think better if kausapin nyo yung friends namin from bureacracyES kasi mas masagot nila yan. They gave us a custom link so that you can get a free 30 minute consultation with a discount on their services: bureaucracy.es/everythingisboffo
Can you do a video about cost of real estate in Valencia & nearby cities?
Hola! We made a video of comparing San Diego and Valencia, and it kind of shows pricing for rentals. We recommend using idealista to see what the market is like.
Here’s the video: People are leaving the US because of the cost of living in Valencia, Spain

Thanks for this. I’ve been to Spain many times & I regret not taking the path towards permanent residency instead of applying to Australia which never happened anyway.
I’m a Filipino living in the US. But have I known about visa options for Filipinos in Spain, I would never have considered Australia & paid those hefty prices! Although application to Spain also sounds like an expensive journey. But Spain & Australia, although both are better than the US, I think Spain is still an overall winner. Australia is a very expensive place to live in.
Thanks for watching! Never been to Australia so we can’t comment on that, but yes Spain is way better than the US in most aspects.
I’m curious as to how your names were processed in Spain. Did the Spanish paperwork have your name as it is in the Philippines or was it changed to Spanish name convention of a double surname?
Hi! Haven’t completed 2 years in Spain yet, so I don’t have an answer.
We Filipinos also have 2 last names, but the order they are used is switched. It’s First Name + Mom’s last name as the middle name + dad’s last name. When I got married it became First Name + Dad’s last name is my middle Name + Husband’s last name.
Will update with a video once we apply for citizenship. Thanks for watching!
We're taking the same route as yours and watched your other videos. They helped us a lot, many thanks! Just one question tho, are we allowed to leave Spain within the 2 year period before applying for citizenship? If yes, then how long can we go out of Spain? I also hope you can also create a video regarding filing of tax. That will really help many!
We left for the Philippines for a month and a half last year, and 1 month for the US this year. I told our lawyer about it and she said it was fine, just don’t extend. Haha. So my guess is you can leave for a short time outside Spain. This is not legal advice, please consult with a lawyer!
@@EverythingIsBoffo thanks for your reply! Would you know if we can immediately apply for citizenship at the end of our 2 year residency or we need to add the months of our absence in Spain before we can apply for citizenship?
And yes, we’re already thinking of consulting a lawyer about this just to make sure.
@@cath8459 that’s what we intend to do as well, apply once we hit two years. I don’t think we need to “add” more months because we were out of the country.
@@EverythingIsBoffo Thanks a lot for your help! More power to your channel! :)
hi po, legit po yung 2 years of stay and you can citizenship?
This is a good news for all digital nomad Filipinos.
Yes, the digital nomad visa is now available, too. We made a video about it!
Hi. Thank you for this info. Can you still do remote work/ virtual jobs as long as your employers/clients are not in Spain?
Yes, the new Digital Nomad Visa is available! Take the quiz and see if you qualify! Bureaucracy.es/everythingisboffo
I like how Filippino' people talk
Thank you! ☺️
Hi, i'm planning on moving to spain next year and I will be having a remote job. Can I still apply for the NLV Visa?
The NLV is also called a Non-working visa so unfortunately, you can’t. Good news is, Spain just approved the digital nomad visa and our video about it is premiering in a few hours! That might be better for your situation 😊
Hi @Everything Is Boffo, what is the point of this visa if it does nor allow the person to work in Spain ? What am I missing ? What is the gain a person gets when he/she gets this NLV visa ?
Hello! It allows someone to live in Spain for at least a year. Most people on this visa have passive income or retirement pensions and want to live in Europe.
Thanks for your very informative video welldone! How about exiting the Philippines with NLV visa in Spain ? What requirements do i have to present? Thanks in advance
Hi! Did you mean what do you need once you have the visa? I think you will also need to attend a seminar in the Philippines about migrating to other countries before you leave. Once you arrive in Spain you need to present the visa to passport control.
Or if you meant what are the requirements for NLV, please reach out to our friends over at Bureaucracy.es/everythingisboffo for a free consultation. ☺️
Thanks for your rapid response. I meant im already here in Spain with NLV (just renewed for the first 2yrs)just incase i want to go back home to the Phils ,what requirements should i take with me? (For the Phil immig mainly)
*i applied from another country
@@kennardbette i just showed my EU residency card with my passport.
Can ex-Filipinos who became citizens elsewhere outside the EU enter Spain on an NLV and thereafter re-acquire Filipino citizenship at the Philippine embassy in Spain to allow one to qualify for the shorter residence requirement for Spanish naturalization? Incidentally, does the 2 year residence requirement have to be continuous or does it allow one to have a few months of absence and still maintain the NLV status?
Hi! I’m not sure, better talk to our friends at bureaucracy ES. Maybe they have had experience on that. The 2 years have to be continuous, I think you can leave up to 2 months out of the year only. This is not legal advice… so we recommend talking to the professionals. ☺️
@@EverythingIsBoffo Thanks for the reply.
Hi Folks, thanks for posting this video. It’s quite helpful. We are a couple from India and we are considering to move to Spain. I am 41 and my wife is 33. We have a 4 year old kid. We have the required financial means to support ourselves in Spain for the next 5 years. But I was wondering if our young age would be a problem in getting the visa.
I own a company in India which will be operational even after I move to Spain. I will not be working for my company from Spain. The business will be taken care by my staff and I will be generating income from the business. Is that allowed under this visa? Thanks for your help!
Hi, age isn’t really a problem if you meet all the requirements of the visa. I recommend making a strong case showing that you won’t be working, we made a notarized letter of intent stating we won’t work in Spain. There are lawyers that offer free consultations. (This is not legal advice!) Best of luck to you!
Thank you so much! Did you mention it in the letter that you have a business in your home country and you’ll be earning an income from it while you are in Spain?
@@1081rohitsingh yes, we said we are getting dividends but will be on sabbatical and will not work.
@@EverythingIsBoffo thank you so much Paul. That was very helpful
My wife was born in USA and a US citizen but both her parents now deceased are Filipino. My wife was a dual citizen but when she was young had to choose not sure why. She chose US. Can she or we qualify for fast track Spain residency? We are planning early retirement in Spain?
Best to consult a lawyer on this! If she can reclaim her Filipino citizenship maybe it’s easier when the time comes. But ask a professional to be sure! Thanks for watching.
Hi! I am from Philippines and I want to finally be able to work abroad and one of the countries I want to apply to is Spain. Can I apply directly to these companies (e.g. openings I see in linkedin, etc)? Or are there any better options? I keep seeing these DNVs but I haven't really checked if there are freelance jobs that I can also apply to to avail.
Work visas might be tough to come by, unemployment rate is high for young adults. DNV will be a better option.
I’m planning to get the digital nomad visa. I’m working with a client that is based in Europe. I’m wondering if meron na bang naka experience on that route?
Hi! I think as long as outside Spain, you should be fine. But please ask Marina at Bureaucracy.es/everythingisboffo to be sure, they help people apply for Digital Nomad Visas.
So you applied for the Spanish non lucrative visa from the U.S.? I am currently here in the U.S. now. Is it much easier?
Yes we did 😊 You are only allowed to apply from your current country of your residence. Hope this helps!
Hello thanks for this, how much is the financial proof of requirements needed po for this visa? Thanks! God bless. And if mag citizen kna ba my access na kayu sa public funds nila and you can find work there na? Gracias
Thanks for watching! It depends on how many family members are moving together. For 1 person it’s a minimum of annual iPremx4 (approximately 28,000€) and each additional is 1 year iPrem. Not sure what you mean about public funds, but yes you will be allowed to work as a citizen.
@@EverythingIsBoffo Hello, what do you mean by "each additional 1 year"--of what po? Of stay or dependent? What I mean is if citizen kna po, pwede na ma access ang healthcare system nila, coz hinde kna under sa NLV and you can work na. Thanks and more power
@@Febrinasvlogs each additional person. Yes you will have all the rights of a citizen. I don’t know how the public healthcare system works yet, though.
Hi Paul and Bea, just stumbled to your channel because I'm researching for our retirement overseas. We live in Anaheim, CA and I will be retiring before the end of this year. Our 2 small dogs will be travelling with us. I really love your videos, very informative. I really thought that you both are US citizens na but you said you are not. Anyway, I have been a US citizen for 42 yrs now but I want to get out of the US, it's very expensive to live here and the crime is terrible. Also, very political and divisive.
Hello! Yes one reason we left was because of how difficult immigration laws are. 13 years living in the US as a legal resident but no green card?! We decided to go where we’re wanted. ☺️ Thanks for watching!
Hello. I am a dual citizen- American and Filipino- born in the Philippines, live in the US for 20 years. If I move in Spain- do I need to give up my American citizenship?
If you’re Filipino you will not need to. Best to consult an immigration expert like Bureaucracy.es/everythingisboffo of course! But that’s what we’ve read.
If my wife and children have a different passport can they gain citizenship through me as a Filipino? I am planning on going to Spain with NL visa and they will join later on.
Thanks for watching! Best consult a lawyer…Not sure how that works as Paul and I have the same passport. Best of luck!
Hi. Sa non-lucrative visa pwede po ba maghanap ng online work to at least support my stay there?
Hi! Hindi pwede mag work dito sa visa na to. Only passive income.
Hello, is freelancing work considered as “work” and will this cause disqualification? When I say freelancing/ work from home - its the idea of an individual working for international clients like from the US, etc
Hi! There’s a digital nomad visa available now for freelancers. ☺️ we talked about it in our other video!
@@EverythingIsBoffohi do you uave that dugital nomad video already becaus ei want also to move to spain im from the philippines but i am working from home ny employer is in the US so i want to know if i can apply for a visa so that i can move to spain
Pede po ba mag student visa sa spain for a year tas d idedeclare na continuous pa dn ang remote work? Then magapply dn ako after grad ng NLV? Possible po kaya? Sana mabgyan ako ng tips
Hello, thanks for watching. I don’t think a student visa allows you to work in Spain, but there is a new Digital Nomad Visa available. If you meet the criteria maybe that’s a better path for you.
If you work remotely, can that be excused as technically passive since you're not really getting your income from local spanish economy?
There’s a digital nomad visa available now! Please watch our other videos! ☺️
I’m curious about taxes in Spain considering that you have income in PH and you’re living in Spain.
Hello! You’ll have to consult a tax professional on that. It will differ from person to person and which visa you hold/ residency you have.
Hi , i have read some info about non lucrative visa. It said after 1 year one of non lucrative residence you can transfer it to working permit visa. For Filipinos 2 yrs living in spain under non lucative visa you can now apply for spanish citizen , but what if after 1 yr living in nlv i change it to working permit visa . And after 1 yr in working permit visa that's 2yrs living in spain. Can I now apply for spanish citizenship? Since i have lived 2 yrs in spain.
From how I understand both visas are considered resident visas so yes. Still best to consult a lawyer, this is not legal advice! ☺️ Thanks for watching!
@@EverythingIsBoffo thank you so much . More power to your chanel
Could you talk about tax in Spain? Is it complicated?
Unfortunately, since we are not tax professionals, we are not comfortable with talking about tax related things. We suggest talking to a pro about this. If you join our Facebook group, there are a few tax pros in the where you can ask questions to 😊 facebook.com/groups/everythingisboffo/?ref=share
Taxes are ridiculously HIGH in Spain. I know a lot of Latin Americans and Filipinos are drawn to the thought of living in Spain and applying for Spanish citizenship, however the Spanish are very aggressive about Pursuing tax from their citizens abroad.
Hello po. I got to know about NLV just yesterday and i am interested applying. I am single nearly 50. How much money in $ do i need to have in my bank account during application???
Hello! Thanks for watching. The minimum is 4x the annual iPrem for 2022 right now. The iPrem changes every year, so it will depend on when you apply. I recommend looking for a lawyer who offers free consultation so you can explain your situation kasi siempre everyone is different. There’s other requirements listed on the Spanish consulate website. (We are not lawyers so this is not legal advice!) good luck to you! ☺️
@@EverythingIsBoffo Thanks for replying. Yes po i will be looking for free guidance and also checking the requirements from the embassy.
Can u apply for that NLV when u are already in spain? Im planning for a schengen visa and enter spain
No, not for NLV. yYou have to apply at your consulate. For DNV (and I think Golden Visa) yes.
Can you still apply for this non-lucrative visa even if you have a job? I have a remote job and can work anywhere. I would really like for me and my son to live in Spain. Is that possible?
Hi! I think better to apply for the Digital Nomad Visa. Please check out one of our more recent videos for it!
2 years in Spain with the Non lucrative visa we can apply for permanent residency already?
If you are part of the former colonies like Philippines, equatorial Guinea, ibero-America, Portugal, and Brazil you can apply for citizenship after 2 years of residency. If not, you can apply for Permanent Residency after 5 years.

How about if I get a digital nomad visa in spain as a dual citizen of canada and PH? Will that qualify me for citizenship in spain?
Yes you can apply for citizenship after 2 years because you hold Philippine citizenship!
Is there a large Filipino population in Spain or would you say it’s pretty small?
The bigger cities will have a bigger population for sure. We didn’t have to speak Spanish in Barcelona, a lot of people speak English or Tagalog there 😊
Did u undergo for a medical test to get the visa?
Hello, yes we needed to provide a medical certificate from our primary care doctor.
Dear Paul and Bea, can l purchase a house with sunroof floor NOT TO THE EXCESS of million euro, maybe £250 to £300 thou. i am in the processing of doing NEW PACE OF LIFE. can you help in one way or another, and lastly but not least, can l buy a 3 wheelers electric bike, 2 front wheelers? adios amigos, Manolo
Hola Manolo! We can recommend a real estate lawyer to help you with buying a property. Check out Bureaucracy.es/everythingisboffo and click the Buying a property icon with the AF abogados for a free consult with Fran Ortega Moreno. Hope this helps! I think yes you can buy a 3 wheeler, I have seen it around the city. Just might need a license.
I have US and Philippine nationalities. Can I apply the non-lucrative visa using my Philippine passport ? I will be applying in the US.
Depends if the consulate will let you. But it won’t matter which you used for the NLV. When you apply for Spanish nationality, you can use the Filipino passport because you’re Filipino.
Question, I'm Filipino and a naturalize US citizen, if for instance I applied for Nomad Visa and sooner later I applied for a Spanish Citizen, do I have to renounce my US Citizenship?
I'm asking because this is the issue I'm having right now here in El Salvador where me and my Salvadorean wife currrently lives. Thank you
Hello! From our understanding if you use your Filipino citizenship to apply then you don’t need to renounce either nationality. (This is not legal advice!) That seems to be the case from some people that I’ve talked to. Best of course to talk to an expert, please contact our friends at Bureaucracy.es/everythingisboffo they have handled DNV and have access to a lawyer. Thanks and good luck!

Sir /Maam, so after 2 yrs living in that visa in Spain after you got the citizenship , after that we can work there?
Yes. As a citizen you can work in Spain.
Thnk u maam for the answer. Keep posting more videos.
Is your UA-cam channel considered as income done in spain?
Good question, what matters for the NLV is that this visa doesn’t allow us to “work for a Spanish company”. From what we understand UA-cam is considered passive income.
I understand Non Lucrative Visa does not allow you to work in Spain.
but is it really true that you can work remotely with that visa provided not under Spanish companies? Like a Digital Nomad and also a UA-cam vlogging?
We’re probably not the best people to ask, better to ask the professionals. The Digital Nomad Visa is already in the works and should be ready by January based on some news articles we’ve seen. We haven’t filed taxes yet so we don’t know how Vlogging is categorised. Sorry we couldn’t be of more help. We’re still learning this as we go. When we applied for the visa we didn’t have a youtube channel yet, in fact we made the channel to document our move and to say goodbye to our friends in the US. Thanks for watching!
@@EverythingIsBoffo I see. But thanks anyway.
@@kenbryanbugawisan3524 you’re welcome! Best of luck to you!
If using the digital nomad visa, can you apply for the citizenship after 2 years?
@@patricklicup6811 that’s still unknown I think. The visa isn’t out yet.
How long did the process took?
We got our visas approved after 11 days. ☺️ we move a few months after the approval.
My mother was born in the PH and immigrated to the US. She naturalized and lost her PH citizenship. She re naturalized and regained her PH citizenship and I was under 18 at the time so I also benefited and became a PH citizen -- me becoming a dual citizen of US and PH. Is it possible for me to gain Spanish Citizenship as a dual citizen?
That might depend on timing for you, not sure. Were you born when your mom was still a Filipino citizen and had not naturalized yet? (This is not legal advice, we’re not lawyers, please consult with one).
I was born and she only had US citizenship. She went through the process to get her PH citizenship back later in life. She was born in the PH. @@EverythingIsBoffo
would it be easier if it's a USA passport?
I don’t think so, as long as you qualify, either passport is fine. Filipinos and some other nationalities have a shorter wait to to gain citizenship though. 2 years instead of 10.
HI, is it possible to have a business instead of a job in spain if you this kind of visa?
From how I understand it, as long as you are not working in Spain, yes you can own a business. For example, if you have a restaurant, you can’t work as a cook etc.
@@EverythingIsBoffo appreciate your quick reply! another question, can i have a remote work (outside spain) while having this visa?
@@fidelbarro techincally no, there’s the digital nomad visa instead. Please visit Bureaucracy.es/everythingisboffo and see if you qualify. Take their digital nomad visa quiz!
@@EverythingIsBoffo thank you for the quick reply!
Halos mga foreigner ang nagtatanong sa fb group, akala ko mga pinoys member doon tayo doon. 😮
May mga pinoy dun! Shempre we’re trying to help everyone naman 😊
Lol visa dali lng pero kung immigrant madali lng rin basta may pera ka. Bat ko ba pinabuod toh hindi naman ako nurse. Kalokohan
To make this short madali basta bumili ka ng real estate. Kaya kumuha kayo sa outskirts ng city. Applicable lng yan guys sa pinoy ah, in respect of 300 years colonization tayo pinakamatagal pero zamboanga lng naka adapt mg language lol.
Pereng geste ke
Beket hende? Tere ne! ♥️
So with high cost of living in Spain, you must be rich enough to live there without working. 😂 i believe, paying spain’s tax is one of the requirements for acquiring a PR or citizenship, am i correct?
For the NLV you must have enough money to live there without being a burden on the public system, by showing savings or passive income.
Spain’s cost of living is comparatively lower than the US, and some Filipinos have said at par with Philippines. If you look at numbeo to compare Valencia with Pasig, groceries are cheaper here in Spain. Also keep in mind that public transportation is reliable in Spain, no need to get a car unlike the Philippines.
I don’t know about paying tax as a requirement, but the 2 year residency is a requirement.
Hello Im new here, I live and work in dubai and planning to move in Spain. for an internship Visa then bahala na after. ( its my opinion)
since i found your video about this my question is If Im NOT allowed to work with this visa? what would be my income after all eventho i have an amount for my self for a year) it means talagang lahat ng ipon ko is puro lang gastos without income?
I am not allowed to do part times jobs? just asking.
I live and work in Dubai for 16 years and visited spaib many times as well.
Please advise. Thank You
Hello and thank you for watching! This visa does not allow you to work in Spain. However, there are other visas that may be available to you that allows work. It will depend on your situation. I suggest looking at your consulate website and reading about all the visas that are available and see if you qualify for them. Good luck!
¿Quién habla español nivel A2 aquí?
Nosotros! ☺️
Genial, soy Filipino pero vivo en Canada. Tengo español nivel A2 con duolingo. Tengo curiosidad saber si eso es suficiente para viajar a España. Voy a ir en junio este año. Gracias kabayan
@@JS-ew1my creo que si! En Madrid y Barcelona no necesitas hablar español demasiado. Casi todos camareros y conserjes allí hablan inglés.
Mil gracias
@@JS-ew1my no hay de que.
to be honest..if i only knew Spain's digital nomad and non-lucrative visa ... i would never go to Canada.
It’s not too late! ☺️ we moved from the Philippines to the US and lived there for 13 years. Here we are starting all over again, but enjoying the life in Spain. ☺️
@@EverythingIsBoffo we are considering spain =). i guess see you soon!
@@papabob7542 yes!!! Start na your Spanish lessons, the earlier the better. ☺️ see you!
@@EverythingIsBoffo yup, starting na! btw can't find any info about age limits for Spanish citizenship / PR... does it have any age limit? ( I'm in my 40s )
@@papabob7542 no age limit as long as you fulfill the residency requirements!
Tagalog ka na lang kasi since we are all filipinos
Hindi po lahat ng Filipino marunong mag tagalog 👍🏼
Punta kayo sa Spain tapos kausapin nyo sila ng English hahaha 😂
Nagaaral din kami ng español…
Ang hirap naman ng non-lucrative visa. Para ka nagwaldas ng salapi, lol
Hindi naman, kasi hindi mo naman kailangan gastusin lahat ng required, gusto lang makita ng españa na sapat yung pera mo para hindi maging pabigat sa social services nila. Kaya madaming pensionado or may passive income na naka NLV. If may tanong ka pa PM mo lang kami, thanks for watching! ☺️
@@EverythingIsBoffo thank you. ❤
