SPANISH RESIDENCY FOR ONLINE & REMOTE WORKERS

Digital Nomad Visa – Now Available

Spain's Digital Nomad Visa is now available following the passing of the new Startups Law, 'Ley de Startups'. This visa which allows the holder to live in Spain and work remotely or online, can be applied directly in Spain, or via the Spanish Consulate in the country in which you currently reside. To get Spain's Digital Nomad Visa, applicants must have sufficient funds to support themselves, proof they can work remotely from Spain, and must already have been working in their current 'remote worker' employment or self-employment prior to applying.

Holders of the Digital Nomad Visa are eligible for a special income tax rate fixed at 24% for the first 5 years, offering higher earners reduced income tax compared to normal residents.

Applying for the Spanish Digital Nomad Visa

Applica琀ons for the Digital Nomad Visa are handled by the same Government Agency that processes Golden Visas. If you aren’t able to travel to Spain to apply, you submit your applica琀on at the Spanish Consulate in the country where your currently live. You can apply in person or appoint a legal representa琀ve to submit the applica琀on on your behalf.

If applying in Spain, the applica琀on can be processed online. The Digital Nomad Visa is fast track, so the applica琀on approval 琀me if all is present and correct, should be within 3 weeks.

If you apply for your Digital Nomad Visa through the Spanish Consulate in your country, you will be issued with a 1 year visa. At the end of that visa, you will be able to apply for a Digital Nomad residency permit. When you apply in Spain, you are not issued a visa, rather granted a residency permit straight away. Once Digital Nomad residency permit has been approved, you apply for a Foreigners ID Card (TIE).
