What are the requirements to renew the non-profit residence?
In general, the following conditions need to be fulfilled:
1.No criminal record in Spain.
2.Residence within the validity period and 90 days after the expiration date.
3.The applicant needs to provide proof of financial means. The law stipulates that the applicant must have a monthly income of 4 times the IPREM economic indicator, i.e. 2,400euros. There are many ways to prove financial means, such as dividends from company shares, investment funds, pensions, etc. Proof of financial resources can be done in the same way as in the first application or in a different way.
In other words, as long as the applicant can prove that he/she has a monthly income of 2,400euros, he/she can change his/her non-profit residence.
Note: If the applicant has family members in Spain, for each family member, it is necessary to prove an additional 1x IPREM value.
