*States party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

Every citizen of a Member State of the European Union or of another State party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area has the right of residence in the territory of the Spanish State for a period of more than three months if:

  • You are an employee in Spain, or
  • You are a self-employed worker in Spain, or
  • He has sufficient resources for himself and for the members of his family so as not to become a burden for social assistance in Spain during his period of residence. You must also provide public or private health insurance, contracted in Spain or in another country, that provides coverage in Spain during your period of residence equivalent to that provided by the National Health System. 
     

The assessment of the sufficiency of economic means will be carried out individually and, in any case, taking into account the personal and family situation of the applicant. Sufficient accreditation for the fulfillment of this requirement will be considered to be the possession of resources that are higher than the amount set each year by the General State Budget Law to generate the right to receive a non-contributory benefit, taking into account the personal and family situation of the interested.

  • Or, be a student and be enrolled in a public or private center recognized or financed by the educational administration to pursue studies or professional training, as well as have public or private health insurance contracted in Spain or another country that provides complete coverage in Spain and responsible statement that he has sufficient resources for himself and his family members, so as not to become a burden for social assistance in Spain during his period of residence, or 
    Being a national of a Member State, a family member who accompanies or joins a citizen of the Union or the European Economic Area, who meets any of the above conditions. The family member may be:


In the case of a relative of a student, their spouse or registered domestic partner or the children of the student and their dependent spouse or partner. 
In all other cases, the spouse or registered de facto partner, their direct descendants and those of their spouse or partner under 21 years of age or incapable or over that age who live in their charge, and their direct ascendants or those of their spouse or of the registered couple who live in their charge.


It will be understood that those relatives whose economic support is provided by the EU citizen and who need material help to cover their basic needs are in charge. This dependence must occur in the country of origin.
