Does your Spanish TIE say “RESIDENCIA TEMPORAL – NO AUTORIZA A TRABAJAR”? This guide explains whether these renewal rules apply to you, the financial requirements for a Non-Lucrative Residence Permit in Spain, what income, savings and assets may be accepted, and what happens if your TIE has already expired.
