Why a Digital Nomad Visa?
A dream for remote workers from all over the world. And now, you don’t even need a work visa– just become a digital nomad! Being a remote worker for a company outside of Spain guarantees a European residence permit and gives you the ability to keep your current job. You can keep your international clients and move to the sunniest country in Europe. It’s a win-win!
Spain
Unlimited opportunities for a European residence permit
Freedom to travel throughout the Schengen area, access to one of the best healthcare systems in the world, and opportunities for higher education.
Suitable for the whole family
A digital nomad can take their entire family with them immediately, without the need for reunification.
Grants the right to work
Not only to the main remote worker, but also to their spouse.
Does not require a long visa or Spanish bank account
You can submit documents even if there are only a few days left on your Schengen visa, or if you haven't opened a local bank account yet.
Optimal processing times
20 working days instead of six months of waiting. On the 21st day - automatic approval.
Imagine this: you’re working remotely from sunny Barcelona, your children attend one of Europe’s top schools, and on weekends you travel throughout the Schengen Zone. All the while, you pay far lower taxes than back home and enjoy a country with a perfect year-round climate.
Sounds like a dream? It’s reality for thousands of digital nomads in Spain!
