DIGITAL NOMAD VISA. SPAIN

A streamlined pathway for non-EU professionals to live and work legally in Spain.

The Spain Digital Nomad Visa allows non-EU citizens who work remotely for overseas companies or clients to live and work legally in Spain. The visa is initially granted for 1 to 3 years, renewable for up to 5 years, after which applicants may apply for permanent residency.

Why Choose Digital Nomad Visa?

The Spain Digital Nomad Visa is one of the most attractive residency options in Europe for remote workers, freelancers, and international professionals seeking to enjoy life in Spain while continuing to work for overseas employers or clients.

Key Advantages of the Digital Nomad Visa

Up to 3 years of residency granted from the very first approval
No large savings requirement, as your overseas employer or business income serves as the primary financial support
Fast processing times, with many applicants receiving their 3-year residency card in as little as 1–2 months
Attractive tax advantages, including potentially reduced tax rates for eligible Digital Nomad Visa holders
A clear pathway to Permanent Residency after 5 years of legal stay in Spain
Flexibility to switch to a Non-Lucrative Visa after one year if your lifestyle or tax planning objectives change
Freedom to live and travel throughout the entire Schengen Area
Spouse/partner and children may be included under the same residency structure
Access to Spain’s outstanding lifestyle, climate, healthcare system, education, and high quality of life
The Digital Nomad Visa offers an excellent balance between lifestyle, mobility, long-term residency opportunities, and international career flexibility — making Spain one of the top destinations for global remote professionals and families.

Key Eligibility Requirements

Income Requirement (2026 Guidelines)

Minimum monthly income of approximately €2,850 for the main applicant
Additional income required for accompanying dependents:

Approximately €1,000 for the first dependent
Approximately €350 for each additional dependent

Applicants must demonstrate stable and recurring overseas income through employment, freelance activity, or business ownership.

Education or Professional Experience

Applicants must provide either:

A university degree or professional qualification from a recognised institution, or
Proof of at least 3 years of relevant professional experience in their field
Professional experience is typically supported through employment records, contracts, CVs, recommendation letters, and recent tax declarations.

Tax & Social Security Obligation

As a Spain Digital Nomad Visa holder, applicants are generally required to:

Register as a Spanish tax resident where applicable
Comply with Spanish tax regulations
Contribute to Spanish social security, unless exempt under an applicable international agreement or certificate of coverage

Depending on individual circumstances, eligible applicants may also benefit from favourable tax treatment under Spain’s special expatriate tax regime.

Attractive Tax Benefits for Eligible Digital Nomad Visa Holders

If you have not been a Spanish tax resident during the previous 5 tax years, you may be eligible to apply for Spain’s special expatriate tax regime, commonly known as the “Beckham Law”.

Under this regime, qualifying applicants may benefit from:

A reduced flat tax rate of 24% on employment income up to €600,000 per year
Potential exemption from taxation on certain overseas assets and foreign-source income
No obligation to pay Spain’s standard worldwide wealth tax in many cases under the special regime structure

This can represent a significant tax advantage compared with Spain’s standard progressive income tax system, where rates may exceed 45% depending on the region and income level.

The special tax regime may generally be maintained for up to 6 tax years, provided eligibility conditions continue to be met.

Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances, source of income, corporate structure, and residency status. Professional tax advice should always be obtained.
