Sworn Bank Statement Translation into Spanish

The non-lucrative visa (visado de residencia no lucrativa) is for people who will live in Spain without working, so the application rests on showing you can support yourself for a year. The London consulate's checklist sets the bar at 400% of the IPREM, Spain's public income reference index, per month for the main applicant, plus 100% for each dependent family member, or the equivalent in a foreign currency. IPREM is updated through the Spanish budget, so check the current figure rather than a forum post from three summers ago.

The checklist also asks for original, stamped documentation proving regular income or assets. For bank statements, that usually means official statements from the bank rather than screenshots from an app.

The digital nomad visa (visado para teletrabajo de carácter internacional) works differently, because it's about earned income from a company or clients outside Spain. Statements back up the contracts and payslips rather than replace them. Spain's golden visa, the residence-by-investment route, closed to new applications on 3 April 2025, so it's no longer an option for new arrivals.

Translating a full year of statements when the consulate wants three months is a quick way to pay for pages nobody reads. Sending one month when it wants six is a slow way to receive a request for more documents. Confirm first.

If you hold savings in several accounts, a bank letter confirming balances can be shorter than a pile of statements. Whether that's acceptable is the consulate's call, not ours.

A traductor jurado certifies that the translation matches the original, so adding euro conversions would mean adding figures the bank never wrote. Amounts, dates, account numbers, sort codes and IBANs are reproduced as shown, and transaction descriptions are translated line by line, including the cryptic merchant codes banks seem to generate at random. If you want to show the euro equivalent, put it in your own covering summary.

Every document includes a quality check, the traductor jurado's signature and 2 free revisions. Upload PDF statements from online banking or scans of paper ones on the online quote form, and you'll see the total before paying. Statements for a Spanish mortgage or property purchase are translated the same way, though banks and notaries set their own rules on whether they need a sworn version.
