Question
Is it possible to give up your Spanish Non Lucrative Visa visa and reapply 2-3 years later?
Answers
These are the answers of Spainguru’s Facebook group members:
“Yes. As long as you state the reason later.”
“Yes.”
“Are there any limitations on this? If I apply, don’t meet qualifications for renewal, let it expire, and then apply for a new Spanish Non Lucrative Visa 6 months later?”
“Yes, you could reapply the next day from the consulate. You don’t need to wait 6 months. Overall, it’s better to renew 60 days before the end of your residency, so if denied, you can apply again from Spain.”
Conclusion
Reapplying for the Spanish Non Lucrative Visa (NLV) after giving it up is indeed possible.
If you choose not to renew your visa or let it expire, you can reapply without a mandatory waiting period, even as soon as the next day.
However, it’s advisable to renew your visa 60 days before it expires to handle any potential denials within Spain, simplifying the reapplication process. Stating your reasons clearly when reapplying can help streamline the process.
