Non-lucrative Visa Spain
Having the opportunity to move to Barcelona is absolutely thrilling, but anyone who's moved knows how stressful it can be. Moving to another country increases the stress level ten-fold: not only is the paperwork and bureaucracy overwhelming, add to that the language barrier. Fortunately, BCN Life is the relocation expert in Barcelona to help smooth the transition for expats as they make their new life here.
1. Native English Speakers
Located in Barcelona with English-speaking clients from all over the world, BCN Life is the only native English-speaking relocation company in Barcelona and Spain that also specializes in visa services.
2. BCN Life Founders Used the Non-lucrative Visa to Move to Spain
Founded by American expats who actually moved to Barcelona themselves with the non-lucrative visa, the relocation experts at BCN Life have both personal and professional experience with the process and are intimately acquainted with the many challenges it can present.
3. Legal Background and Experience
Co-founded by a Harvard Law attorney who specializes in immigration to Barcelona from the US, BCN Life works with the top Spanish immigration law firms to assist you with getting your non-lucrative visa for Spain approved.
4. Non-lucrative Visa Process Is Difficult
Spain’s bureaucracy is famously confusing. Often official online sources provide conflicting information making it difficult to understand which forms you need to complete for the numerous administrative steps involved in the visa application process. Even a small oversight can lead to significant costs and frustrating delays. BCN Life’s experts resolve this for you by providing all of the required documents and coordinating your non-lucrative visa application process for you.
5. Translations
BCN Life helps you get the required documents translated by official Spanish translators, and assists you in filling out all forms in Spanish.
6. Health Insurance
BCN Life helps you obtain private health insurance which is a prerequisite for the non-lucrative visa.
7. Empadronamiento
Once you arrive in Barcelona, BCN Life assists you in getting empadronado (on the municipal register) which is a requirement not only to complete your residency, but also for most administrative procedures, including enrolling your kids in school, buying a car and getting a driver’s license.
8. NIE
To finalize your non-lucrative visa application, BCN Life will take you step by step through the process of obtaining your NIE (número de identidad de extranjero) and TIE (tarjeta de identidad de extranjero). This includes securing the often difficult-to-get appointments, completing all the required forms, making sure you have all the proper documents for each appointment, and personally accompanying you to your appointments.
9. Finding Your Perfect Home
To make Barcelona feel just like home, BCN Life takes the time to learn about you and your family’s needs and desires to find you the perfect home in Barcelona in just the right neighborhood to suit your lifestyle.
