What Needs to Be Done?

• Three questions to check your eligibility:
  1. Do you provide services to legal entities or are you employed by a company for more than 3 months?
  2. Is your income higher than €2,646 per month at the current exchange rate?
  3. Can you travel to Spain as a tourist to submit your documents?

If you answered "yes" to all three questions, there's a 99.7% chance your documents will be approved for the residence permit! (You can still get a D visa at the consulate in your home country!)

What is the Digital Nomad Residence Permit in Spain?

In December 2022, the Spanish parliament approved a law for remote workers' residency. You can apply from within Spain or at the Spanish consulate in your country of citizenship/residence.

• Application online: While legally in Spain. The initial residence permit is issued for 3 years (or for the duration of your contract if it's shorter than 3 years) with the possibility of extending it for 2 years. You can later request permanent residency and, eventually, citizenship.
• Application through the consulate: In the country of your current residence. The visa is issued for 1 year, after which you will need to apply for the residence permit in Spain.

Main Requirements:

1. Not being an EU citizen.
2. Formal employment or providing services to legal entities (employment/self-employment for a company that has been registered for over a year outside of Spain).
3. Ability to work remotely year-round.
