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.
