Getting a non-resident bank account in Madrid

What's the difference between a non-resident and a resident bank account in Spain, and what documents will I need for each. If I'm an EU citizen (British) do I automatically qualify for a non-resident account?

Hi there,

Non-resident are less taxed. You are a non-resident when within a fiscal year you live less than 6 months in Spain, or still did not obtain a NIE or Residencia. More details in my article "Resident or Non-resident":

For all the details about obtaining the best non-resident or resident bank accounts, I recommend you read my detailed post:

If you have any other question, do not hesitate contact me at pierre@moving2madrid.com.

All the best,
Pierre
