Why Full Spanish Residency Matters

Whether you’re planning to retire, work, or live long-term in Spain, obtaining full Spanish residency is essential. It not only grants you the legal right to reside in Spain but also opens the door to benefits like access to public healthcare, the ability to open bank accounts, and more. Additionally, residency ensures you comply with legal requirements, allowing you to enjoy the Spanish lifestyle without any concerns.

Requirements for Spanish Residency

To obtain Spanish residency, expats must meet specific criteria, depending on their situation. These generally include:

  • Proof of legal stay in Spain, such as a valid visa
  • Health insurance, either private or through Spanish social security
  • Proof of sufficient financial means to support yourself
  • A registered address in Spain
  • Criminal record checks from your country of origin

Each type of residency—whether for retirees, workers, or family members of Spanish citizens—has its own requirements, and understanding these differences is crucial for a successful application.
