Digital Nomad Visa Program

As part of its strategy to attract global digital talent, Spain launched the Digital Nomad Visa in 2023. This program allows non-EU remote workers and digital entrepreneurs to legally reside in Spain while working for companies or clients based outside the country.

The permit is initially granted for one year as a visa, or up to three years when applying from within Spain, and is renewable for a total period of up to five years.

Holders are not required to work for a Spanish company, and may generate up to 20% of their income from Spanish sources.

After five years, applicants may apply for permanent residence, and after ten years, for Spanish citizenship.

  • Dependent children (generally under 18, or up to 25 if enrolled in education)
