Visas & Residency in Spain

At Sunny Casas, we understand the excitement of making Spain your new home or holiday home for only winter or summer. Whether you’re an EU citizen or from outside the EU, navigating the process of getting a visa and residency in Spain can seem overwhelming. Our team is here to guide you step by step.

Visas and Residency

EU Citizens

If you’re an EU citizen, you enjoy borderless travel within the Schengen Area, which includes Spain. For longer stays over three months, you should register as a resident. Spending more than 183 days annually? You’ll need to declare your tax residency in Spain.

Swiss and EEA Citizens

Citizens of Switzerland, Norway, Liechtenstein, and Iceland share the same free movement rights as EU citizens, allowing seamless travel and relocation to Spain.

British Citizens

After Brexit, British nationals are considered non-EU citizens. You can stay in Spain for up to 90 days within a 180-day period without a visa. For permanent residence, the most popular options include the Non-Lucrative Visa or the Golden Visa, both requiring specific financial conditions. If you were a resident before Brexit, you retain the same rights but must have applied for residency before 2020.

Non-EU Citizens

For non-EU citizens, the 90/180-day rule applies, with some nationalities requiring a Schengen Visa even to visit. Residency options are similar to those available to British nationals, including the Non-Lucrative Visa, Golden Visa, or other types of work and student visas.

Customer Feedback

Maris from the Sunnycasas team was the fantastic agent who helped me find my dream home in Spain. She listened to my needs and presented a great selection of properties. Maris was a joy to work with, very knowledgeable, and facilitated connections with key contacts, like mortgage advisors. I’m very grateful for this excellent experience! Thank you, Maris and Sunnycasas!

From start to finish, the service was extraordinary. The entire Sunnycasas team, including everyone involved, was both professional and friendly. I consider myself fortunate to have chosen the right agents. Simply top-tier!

Giovanni Rossi

I’m from the USA, and without the help of the Sunnycasas team, I have no idea how I would have managed my home search in Spain. From start to finish, they were incredibly supportive in every way, including their excellent customer service. They can also recommend financial firms and attorneys if you need them. I would highly recommend Sunnycasas to anyone looking for assistance in finding a home in Spain.
