EX01 form in English: each field translated, how to fill it in

In short: the EX-01 (also written EX01) is the official form for non-lucrative residence (living in Spain without working). No official English version exists, so the fields are translated here. Current version «03», under LO 4/2000 and RD 1155/2024. Free at inclusion.gob.es.

In person or by representative? Mixed. You can fill it in yourself; section 3 is for whoever files it for you. The initial application goes to the Spanish consulate (usually in person). The renewal goes to the oficina de extranjería in Spain (art. 64.1 RD 1155/2024), in person or online; the Supreme Court annulled the online-only rule in 2026 (art. 197.2), though note 6 on the form still cites it.

Then place and date, FIRMA DEL SOLICITANTE and, below, DIRIGIDA A (addressed to), Código DIR3, PROVINCIA.

Mistakes to avoid: X under Sexo without recognition in your country of origin; CONSIENTO without a certificate or Cl@ve; section 3 filled in when you file alone.

Steps:

1. Download the official PDF or its editable version at inclusion.gob.es. It is free and selling it is prohibited.
2. Fill in section 1; section 2 only if the holder of the funds is a family member and section 3 only if someone else files. Write in capital letters with a black pen and block lettering, or type it, and dates as dd/mm/aaaa.
3. If unsure what to enter in N.I.E. (no number yet), Domicilio en España (living abroad) or DIRIGIDA A and Código DIR3, ask at the consulate (initial application) or the oficina de extranjería (renewal): the form does not say.
4. Enter the address for notifications and tick CONSIENTO only if you have an electronic certificate or Cl@ve; the certificate must be linked to the DNI/NIE shown in that section (note 6). Fill in Teléfono móvil and E-mail too: the form says they let you receive an informational alert about pending notifications.
5. Tick the type of authorisation, add place and date, and sign.
6. Prepare the original and a copy and hand in the form with the other documents. The initial application goes to the consular office (see non-lucrative residence). For the renewal, note 6 on the form says «only by electronic means», but the Supreme Court annulled that requirement (art. 197.2, ruling of 8 July 2026; see ruling on art. 197.2): it is filed at the oficina de extranjería, in person or online (Mercurio); details in renewal of authorisations.
7. Once residence is granted, the card is requested with another form, the EX-17: how to get the TIE.
