Can You Get a Spanish Mortgage If You Earn in Saudi Riyal (SAR)? Discover How to Buy Your Dream Property with Confidence

Understanding the Opportunity for Non-Residents with Saudi Income

Are you earning in Saudi Riyal (SAR) and planning to buy a holiday home or invest in real estate in Spain? You're not alone. Many high-net-worth individuals, expatriates, and professionals based in Saudi Arabia are discovering the appeal of the Spanish property market — from beachfront villas in Marbella to modern apartments in Barcelona and Madrid.

However, securing a mortgage in Spain as a non-resident with income in SAR can be challenging — unless you're working with the right mortgage broker. At Mortgage in Spain.es, we specialize in helping international clients obtain competitive mortgages, even if your income is in Saudi Riyal.

In this article, we’ll explain how we can help, what banks are looking for, and how you can benefit from our expert service as a licensed mortgage broker in Spain.

Can You Get a Mortgage in Spain If You Earn in SAR?

Yes, it is possible to obtain a mortgage in Spain with income in Saudi Riyal — but not all Spanish banks accept non-euro income, especially in currencies considered “non-convertible” or “less stable” by European financial standards.

Fortunately, at Mortgage in Spain, we have agreements with banks that accept income in Saudi Riyal. Thanks to our long-term relationships with these banks, we know exactly how to present your financial profile and what documentation they require to approve your loan.

Mortgage Conditions for Non-Residents Earning in SAR

When applying for a mortgage in Spain as a non-resident with income in Saudi Riyal, here are some important conditions to consider:

• Maximum Loan-to-Value (LTV): 70% of the property price (this is the legal limit for non-residents, set by the Bank of Spain).
• Maximum Term: 25 years, with some exceptions depending on your age and financial profile.
• Interest Rates: Fixed or variable rates available — typically fixed rates offer greater stability for non-residents.
• Currency Risk Consideration: Spanish banks must assess the potential currency fluctuation risks. We help clients mitigate these risks by selecting the right bank and explaining the implications clearly.

Key Documents You’ll Need

Spanish banks are conservative and require detailed documentation to ensure your financial stability. If you earn in SAR, you’ll need to provide:

• Proof of income: Payslips or salary certificates (translated into Spanish or English if necessary).
• Employment contract and confirmation of position or seniority.
• Personal bank statements (last 6–12 months).
• Tax return or income certificate from Saudi authorities.
• Copy of your passport.
• Deposit amount available in a European bank account (proof of savings).
• Information about the property you wish to purchase.

We’ll guide you through every step to ensure your documentation is complete and correctly presented — avoiding unnecessary delays or rejections.
