No lucrativa for the family: income per spouse and children, family composition

How much money does it take for a family to have no lucrativa?

The principal amount is 400 per cent of IPREM per month per applicant, and for each family member, 100 per cent of IPREM per month is added to the maintenance. [1]. IPREM is now 600 € a month: this is a value from Ley 31/2022, and SEPE gives the same 600 € on the 2026 page; it's still worth checking as of the filing date. [2]The calculation below is not the agency table.

The first permit is granted for a year, renewable for two years, and the law requires the means "in accordance with the validity" of the requested permit. [1]The Consulate in Moscow explicitly calls the first year of authorization [3]For the extension of 24 months, the table is taken from articles 62 and 64, as the agencies have applied in practice, and we have not verified the availability of any admissible documents, as detailed in the article. funds for no lucrativa.

Who is considered a family member on no lucrativa?

The circle is defined by article 61 Reglamento. [1]:

Parents and adult children who are not on the list do not lose the opportunity to live in Spain, but on another basis: self-contained no lucrativa with its own threshold, study, reunification, work. What grounds to choose residence permit, reunification: Family reunification in Spain.

What is "in substance," and how is this applied to the spouse?

Article 62 refers to the family members "a su cargo", i.e. the applicant's maintenance, a general definition in article 196 Reglamento: a person is in maintenance where there is a real and stable de facto economic or physical dependence and is evaluated individually [1]The text leaves room for dispute: how consulates apply the dependency criterion in such cases, we have not found any, ask the consulate and prepare an explanation of whose money and how the family is divided.

The practical conclusion is that the fund package should include a confirmation that the family is running the total budget and a summary of where each sum comes from, not a requirement of law, but a way to get the questions off.

How do you file the whole family?

Family members apply with the applicant. The consulate in Moscow lists for everyone: visa form and EX-01 form (the child is signed by the parent), photo, passport, insurance, certificate of non-judiciality for adults, medical certificate, confirmation of residence in the district and payment of duties. [3]The principal applicant confirms the funds, does not repeat them separately for each person, and adds documents on the relationship with the translation: birth or marriage certificate, registration of a partnership or other document on the joint life, and for foreign documents apostille or legalization [3].

If permission is requested for all at the same time, the time limit and the procedure for deciding on them are common. no lucrativa: delivery through consulate and Health insurance for residence permits.

What happens after the visa: TIE, extension and time frame

The first permit no lucrativa is issued for a year and family members receive it under the same conditions. [1]Everyone who entered the visa will personally post the TIE card within a month of entry [1]The extension shall be requested in the last two months of validity; the extension shall be valid for two years and, if the agency has not spoken for three months, the application shall be considered as granted. [1]So, 24 months in the table above, this is our calculation for articles 62 and 64, not the formula from the agency's report.

If the decision is negative or silenced on the initial application, the procedure is described in the article. Refusal no lucrativa: reasons and appeal.

School for Children and Extension No lucrativa

When the extension is made, the department checks that children of compulsory school age are studying, and the application is accompanied by a regional education authority certificate on schooling. If it does not confirm the education, the official report is sent to the educational authorities and the applicant is informed in writing: if the education does not start and the certificate is not received within a month, the permit will not be renewed. [1]The Aliens Act reiterates that residents with school-age children confirm schooling when they extend or apply for long-term residence [5]In practice, this means that the child ’s enrolment in Barcelona should be planned as soon as he or she arrives, not before the extension.

The remaining conditions of extension are the same as for the applicant: insurance for the duration, duty and actual residence over 183 days in the calendar year [1]Detailed: extension no lucrativa and absence from Spain and extension of residence permit.

Can family members work and learn?

No work is allowed: article 61 defines no lucrativa as the residence of the applicant and his family without work or professional activity [1]I can learn, the details of the subject in the article Can you study with a residence permit without work?. Anyone who wishes to work may apply for permission: Article 191 allows residents in Spain to work without a visa after a year; the conditions are less favourable; more specifically, Article 191 no lucrativa: what is prohibited [1]As applied to the family of the holder no lucrativa, it is necessary to specify separately.

Family Taxes: What Is Presumed for a Wife and Children?

The Spanish tax residence is determined by Ley 35/2006: more than 183 days per year in the country or by the main centre of interest in Spain; the law further establishes a presumption: if, according to these criteria, the unmarried spouse and dependent minor children are permanently resident in Spain, the taxpayer is also considered to be resident until proven otherwise.

Typical family errors in no lucrativa

• The threshold is only considered by the applicant: each family member adds 100% of IPREM per month [1].
• They expect parents or adult healthy children to be included in the application: no in the list of article 61 [1].
• Not preparing a partnership document without registration: a proven life together [1].
• Forget policies and guidelines for children: each member of the family has their own [3].
• They don't enrol the child in school immediately and they go into extension without a certificate of learning. [1].
• They don't agree who's actually spending 183 days in Spain in the family, and they don't assess the tax consequences. [1][4].
