Briefly overview of the program

The Digital Nomad Visa in Spain offers foreigners the opportunity to obtain a residence permit in a developed EU country. This visa is issued under Law No. 28/2022, “On the Promotion of New Company Ecosystems, or Startups.” Eligible applicants include employees of foreign companies, self-employed professionals, and sole proprietors. The key requirement is remote work and a minimum monthly income of EUR 2,763. Digital nomads can initially apply for a three-year residence permit, with the option to extend it for an additional two years. After five years of living in Spain, temporary residency can be converted into permanent residency.
