Spain Digital Nomad Work Permit

For those working remotely for entities outside Spain — Schengen residence while keeping your existing income source.

This visa was created under the startup ecosystem law and requires your income to come from clients or an employer outside Spain, with only a limited share earned inside it. Anyone working for a Spanish company does not qualify, however remote the work.

You must show monthly income above a threshold tied to the minimum wage, and a working relationship predating the application. The real advantage is full Schengen residence with family reunification permitted — which sets it apart from every other route on this list.

Most in-demand sectors

  • Programming and software development
  • Design and digital content
  • Digital marketing and consultancy
  • Freelancing for international clients
Expected timeline Two to five months; applications filed inside Spain are processed faster than those through an embassy.
Core requirements Contracts predating the application, proof of income above the set threshold, comprehensive private health insurance, and a clean criminal record.
