“No, the actual cost of renewing is way less. It’s about 20 euros.”
Conclusion
Renewing the Spain Non Lucrative Visa is significantly less costly and less complicated than the initial application process.
The government fees are relatively minimal, with additional costs potentially arising from hiring administrative assistance or renewing necessary insurance.

In this case, it will be the cost associated with “TIE que documenta la renovación de la autorización de residencia temporal o la prórroga de la estancia o de la autorización para trabajadores transfronterizos en España por un periodo superior a seis meses”
This makes the renewal process more accessible and less burdensome financially compared to the first application.
