Hello!
I am contemplating applying for the Spanish non-lucrative Visa and I have a few questions about this process so hoping someone else has done it and can help me out!
1 I work remotely for a US company. Would this be a permissible source of income since it originates outside of Spain? I emailed two consulates and got conflicting answers, however the one that said it was ok seemed to be more familiar with what he was discussing so I am hoping he was correct
2 Is it true that they require you to have a signed lease of where you are going to be staying? This seems like a really tough thing to navigate. There is no way I am going to sign a year lease in Spain prior to knowing that my Visa will be approved! I have seen some people say they require an address and a lease, others say that they just want the city. This seems silly as the proof of financial means should ensure that I would not be homeless.
3 Do you have to do all of your documents and such in your home state? My home address is Minnesota but I am in Arizona much of the time and would prefer to do some of it here. Unfortunately I do not have a mailing address in Arizona though so I could not list that anywhere. It would just likely be easier to find Spanish speaking doctors, etc.
Thank you,
