TIE HoyNon-lucrative renewal — funds, insurance, 183 days
Use this when you live in Spain without work authorization and must prove funds, insurance and residence time.
What is new for non-lucrative renewal?
Article 64 adds a residence-time requirement: more than 183 days in Spain in the calendar year.
Funds and full private health insurance still remain central.
Can I work during this renewal?
No. Non-lucrative residence does not authorize work.
Renewal keeps the same route logic unless you separately qualify for a modification.
Conclusion
Non-lucrative renewal is judged on route consistency: enough means, qualifying insurance, residence presence and no work activity in Spain.
183-day residence requirement
Article 64.2.f requires more than 183 days of residence in Spain during the calendar year. Treat travel history as core evidence, not as a side note.
Funds and insurance
Maintain sufficient economic means for the renewal period and private health insurance with full coverage, no copays, hospitalization and repatriation.
Renewal effect
The renewed authorization is valid for 2 years. Filing in time extends the previous authorization until resolution and the 3-month decision rule applies.
What to do
Build the renewal around route consistency: money, insurance, presence and no work.

More questions
Can I use travel insurance?
No. The route needs private health insurance with full residence-grade coverage, not short travel cover.
Are income amounts fixed here?
No. They depend on current public references and family size. Do not hardcode old amounts.
Do absences always block renewal?
Not automatically. But the 183-day requirement is now core evidence and must be checked.
