Spanish Non-Profit Immigration
Spain officially launched a non-profit residency immigration policy on April 30, 2011. This program requires applicants to provide stable housing for their families and have sufficient funds to demonstrate that they can support themselves and their families without working while living in Spain. Applicants who meet the basic requirements of living 183 days a year can maintain their status. There is no need to buy a house, start a business, or invest. It is currently an ideal way to move the whole family to a major European country at the lowest cost. If you have had a residence card for 5 years and meet the conditions for permanent residency, you can apply for a Spanish permanent residence card. If you have had a residence card for 10 years and meet the conditions for naturalization, you can apply for citizenship.
