The visa in Spain aimed at those who plan to retire now that the Golden Visa has been scrapped
Welcome to the Non-working (Non-lucrative) residence visa
The demise of the Golden Visa in Spain was a major blow for many non-European Union citizens (including Britons and Americans) because it allowed them a trouble-free way to move to Spain without the endless paperwork.

Charles Dalrymple-ChumleySo in reality nobody’s gonna bother with that are they.
The initial visa itself is valid for a period of 90 days but the resulting Resident's card is valid for a year and then annually renewable. If British, the visa must be applied for in London at the Spanish agency offices contracted to accept visa applications on behalf of the Spanish Government. Then the Resident's card is issued in Spain. The process is lengthy and involves many documents all of which must be translated and apostilled by an authorised firm. Applicants must prove financial self-sufficiency as well as other personal attributes. The application for the initial visa includes handing over your passport (not a copy) and this will be retained until the visa is issued. The agency quotes up to 3 months for the visa to be issued. Processing/Application fees come in at around £2500.
Valid for 90 Days !!! What !!!
