Part 2/7:
Visa Application Fees
For Americans, obtaining a visa is a necessary step, particularly if they are not EU citizens. The most common visa options are the non-lucrative visa and the digital nomad visa. The non-lucrative visa, often sought by retirees or individuals with independent income, requires applicants to show they can support themselves financially in Spain without working.
To apply for this visa, Brian and Jean need to demonstrate a minimum passive income of €3,000 per month or savings of $36,000. Alongside these financial requirements, there are additional costs, such as:
Visa application fee: Approximately €360 for the couple
Official document costs (like FBI background checks): Estimated €120
