Obtaining a Residence Permit in Spain if you are from Europe

For European Union (EU) citizens, the process of obtaining a residence permit in Spain is relatively straightforward. Here are the key steps:

Registration at the Foreigners Office: As an EU citizen, you must register at the Foreigners Office within the first three months of your arrival in Spain. This will provide you with a certificate of registration as an EU resident.

2. Demonstrate financial sufficiency: Although it is not necessary to have a job in Spain, you must demonstrate that you have sufficient resources to support yourself and your family.

Health insurance: You must have public or private health insurance that covers you in Spain.

4. Obtaining the Foreigner Identification Number (NIE): The NIE is a tax identification number necessary to carry out legal procedures in Spain.

Obtaining a Residence Permit in Spain if you are from Outside Europe

For non-EU citizens, the process is more detailed. Here are the fundamental steps:

Residence Visa: You must apply for a residence visa at the Spanish consulate in your home country before arriving in Spain.

2. Entry into Spain: Once you obtain your visa, you can enter Spain and apply for a residence permit at the Oficina de Extranjeros.

3. Demonstrate financial means: You must demonstrate that you have the necessary financial resources to support yourself during your stay in Spain.

4. Health insurance: Like EU citizens, you must have public or private health insurance.

5. NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero): You will also need to obtain a NIE.
