How to obtain the Digital Nomad Visa (DNV) in Spain

by

Are you a digital nomad thinking about settling in Spain?

Spain is a country that offers a high quality of life with great value for money. It boasts an enviable climate, modern infrastructure, a diverse Mediterranean cuisine, a safe environment, vibrant nightlife, a wide range of cultural and sports activities, and a rich historical heritage.

In 2023, Spain introduced the Digital Nomad Visa. Since then, thousands of people from all over the world have settled in the country each year, creating international communities in cities like Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia, Málaga, Alicante or Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.

Currently, Spain is home to 139,000 registered digital nomads, making it the world’s number one destination for nomads according to Global Citizen Solutions.

What are the advantages of the Digital Nomad Visa in Spain?

  1. The approval process is quick and hassle-free.
  2. You’re granted a 3‑year residence permit (most are only 1 year), which you can renew in 2‑year periods.
  3. You’ll enjoy high‑speed internet and a wide network of coworking and coliving spaces.
  4. It allows you to travel freely across all 27 countries in the Schengen area.
  5. You can be away from Spain for up to 6 months each year.
  6. You’ll benefit from tax advantages.
  7. You can bring your family along, either right away or later on.
  8. Your family members will also enjoy work permits: they can accept job offers, become self‑employed, or start their own business.
  9. After the first year, you can switch to other permits, such as a work visa (employed or self‑employed), a student stay, or even permanent residency.
  10. Your years as a digital nomad also count towards obtaining Spanish citizenship.

 

What are the disadvantages of the Spanish DNV?

  1. Relatively high financial requirements.
  2. For each family member you add, the required income increases.
  3. Your financial means must come from a job or professional activity — savings don’t count.
  4. The Digital Nomad Visa is one of the most complex due to the numerous requirements to meet. On top of that, the list isn’t closed — it varies depending on the applicant’s type of economic activity and the accompanying family members.
