Unlock the freedom to work remotely while enjoying life in Spain. The Digital Nomad Visa offers U.S. expats a flexible residency
option with tax benefits, allowing you to live in Spain while maintaining your U.S.-based employment or freelance business.
Let us guide you through the process seamlessly.
The digital nomad visa is an extendable residence permit for a total of 5 years that allows expatriates to live and work remotely from Spain ( carrying out activities as digital nomads).
Yes, working remotely!
Their company established in another country or working as a freelancer with a worldwide client portfolio, will find a visa that perfectly suits their remote working needs.
Planning to move to Spain and continue working remotely? We tell you the requirements you need to obtain the visa:
With the same impulse and with a very similar objective, the Government is now publishing a new law, this time very focused on startups, talent and innovation.
A law much more adapted to the current needs of the market, called the Startups Law.
Its goal is to position Spain as one of the leading countries in attracting entrepreneurs, investors and skilled workers. This creates the perfect mix as a country, as Spain also offers everything one might need when looking for the ideal living conditions (especially for remote workers).
Or perhaps the most important measure of the Startups Act is the one that focuses on recovering and bringing new international talent to the country, favoring the establishment of remote workers and digital nomads.
And that is done through the new Digital Nomad Visa.
The company/s for which you work must be located outside Spain.
Income earned in Spain or from Spanish companies cannot represent more than 20 percent of your total income or the company's income.
You must prove that you have been working for their company or have had a freelance relationship for your clients for at least 3 months prior to application.
Provide proof of a monthly income of €2,520, which represents 200% of the SMI. If the application includes more family members, additional income is required, which varies depending on the number of applicants.
No criminal record or prohibition to enter Spain. For this purpose, you must provide a criminal record certificate, with a minimum validity of 90 days, legalized and apostilled.
Purchase a private medical insurance, with full coverage throughout Spain.
Contract with the same company for at least 1 year.
Pay the corresponding application fee
The visa for digital nomads is a residence permit that can be extended for a total of 5 years and that will allow non-EU citizens (from outside the European Union) to live and work remotely from Spain (exercising activities as digital nomads).
Yes, working remotely!
At last, foreigners who wish to move to Spain and continue working for a company abroad, or who have clients spread all over the world, will find a residence permit that perfectly suits their needs (instead of having to end up applying for a Non-Profit Visa which, in fact, does not allow them to work).
One of the great advantages of this residence is the double application option:
The answer is yes. The years with this 3-year card (and its subsequent renewals) count for both Spanish nationality and permanent residency (which you can get after 5 years as a remote teleworker in Spain).
Apart from the tax advantages that we will explore later in this post, this permit will also allow you to include your spouse, children and parents in the same application; so you will be able to move with your family to Spain.
But that’s not all, because being framed within the Entrepreneurs Law, you will also benefit from an express resolution in just 20 days, and the applicable administrative silence is positive (so if you have no response within this period, the resolution is considered approved).
In addition, you will be able to move freely throughout the EU with this residence card.
As we have mentioned, this visa is oriented to non-EU citizens, since Europeans can work remotely for up to 6 months in the country (and if they wish to extend their stay, they only have to obtain their NIE as a resident).
Below, you will find the complete list of final requirements.
But before going into detail with each requirement, you should keep in mind that there are two different profiles of foreigners who can obtain this permit (with slightly different requirements):
