Non-profit residency. Can I have a business in Spain?
By: Antonio Villena
🙋 Can you have a business in Spain with a non-profit residency permit? 🇪🇸
This is a very common question among those who obtain this type of residency. The answer is yes, but with certain limitations.
👉 If you have a non-profit residency permit, you can own shares in a company in Spain, even 100% of the shares, and receive profits through dividends. However, you cannot manage the company or receive a salary, whether as an employee or self-employed.
👉 It is essential to appoint a manager with legal residence in Spain, a Spanish national, or a European national, who will be responsible for the administration and operations of the business.
