In conclusion, according to Spainguru Facebook group members, the process of renewing a non lucrative Spain visa involves specific steps that may vary by province. It’s advisable to initiate the renewal process between 60 days before and up to 90 days after the initial TiE (Tarjeta de Identidad de Extranjero) expires. The renewal typically grants an additional 2 years, but processing times may vary due to factors like COVID-19. Additionally, after year 1 and 3 for new non lucrative visa holders, and at year 10 for long-duration residents, you have the option to apply for citizenship or remain a long-duration resident.
