Non Lucrative visas from the UK
Non Lucrative visas from the UK
by Darrel1957 » Wed Sep 22, 2021 6:16 pm
Hi everyone
My wife and I presented our NLV applications to the Spanish consulate in London (my wife is retired and in receipt
of a UK pension, I am still working, 15 months away from retirement)
We used the services of a Solicitor who is well versed in NLV applications
When my application was checked the official queried the fact I was still working and did not recommend the application going forward as it may be rejected and suggested the only way around it was to leave my job and get my P45 as this would then prove I was no longer officially working and on this premise I would be possibly granted my visa
Has anyone had a similar problem or come across this situation, if so how do you circumvent it?
Any help/advice would be appreciated
Thank you
Darrel

You cannot circumvent it. Non Lucrative means just that, you cannot work to provide the income required, even if the work is in UK. You can have income from investments, pension funds. shares or property rentals etc.

Welcome to the forum, Darrel.
I agree with the above. The NLV is a sort of retirement visa which does not allow you to work when resident in Spain. I can understand you wanting to get things sorted prior to your retirement but you can't apply for the NLV until you are no longer working.
There are other visas which would allow you to work in Spain but these are even more difficult to qualify for. See http://www.exteriores.gob.es/Consulados/LONDRES/en/Consulado/Pages/Visas.aspx
Good luck
