💐 1-year Digital Nomad Visa

The Digital Nomad Visa Spain is an opportunity for remote working Non-EU-citizens to live and work from Spain. The Digital Nomad Visa is valid for 1 year when you applied for it at a Spanis consulate outside of Spain.

If you want to stay longer than 1 year, you can switch to the Digital Nomad Residency Permit.

💎 3-years Digital Nomad Residency Permit

If you want to stay 3 years in Spain, apply directly for the Digital Nomad Residency Permit. This application must be submitted while staying in Spain, for example on a tourist visa.

After 3 years, you can apply for permanent residency and extend the Digital Nomad Residency for 2 more years. With a total of 5 years, you can then receive a permanent residency. If you wish to become a Spanish citizen, you need to prove to have lived in Spain for 10 years.
