Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a Spanish employer to qualify for the Spain Digital Nomad Visa?
No. In fact, employees applying under this route must work for companies based outside Spain. Self-employed professionals may also work with Spanish companies, provided that this activity does not exceed 20% of their total professional activity.
Can freelancers apply for the Spain Digital Nomad Visa?
Yes. Freelancers and other self-employed professionals can qualify, provided they meet the professional, income, documentation, and remote-work requirements. Applicants generally need a recognised qualification or at least three years of relevant professional experience.
Can my family join me in Spain?
Yes. Eligible family members can apply with the main applicant, including a spouse or partner, dependent children, and in some cases dependent ascendants. Additional financial requirements apply for accompanying family members.
Does all of my income need to come from outside Spain?
Not necessarily. Employees must work for companies outside Spain. Self-employed applicants may generate up to 20% of their professional activity from Spanish companies, while the rest must remain linked to activity outside Spain.
Can the Spain Digital Nomad Visa lead to long-term residency?
Potentially, yes. The international telework residence permit can be granted for up to three years and renewed in two-year periods if the requirements continue to be met.
