Frequently Asked Questions
How long can I stay in Spain after the visa is granted?
The digital nomad visa is initially valid for one year if applied for from abroad. However, if the application is made in Spain, it grants a three-year residence permit. Both options are renewable.
Can I apply for a visa with my partner?
Yes, you can include your spouse or accredited domestic partner, your children under 18 years of age or older, as long as they are economically dependent; and you can even include your ascendants, such as parents or in-laws, as long as they can prove economic dependency.
Can I work for Spanish companies with this visa?
Yes, you can work for a Spanish company, but the key is that the income generated by the company does not exceed 20% of your total activity. In case you want to work 100% for a Spanish company, a work visa would be a better option.
Do I need a university degree?
This aspect will depend on the profession or the labor or commercial activity that you carry out, since sometimes if your foreign degree is homologated in Spain, it is very likely that the unit of large companies may require that said degree be homologated or at least in the process of homologation in Spain. In any case, it is always advisable to have your academic degree apostilled, duly legalized and apostilled.
Can I apply during my stay as a tourist?
One of the great advantages of this residency is the double possibility of presentation; since it can be done at the consular office of your country of legal residence or your country of origin; or from Spain, as long as it is done within your period of legal stay.
How long does the resolution process take?
The response time is an express time since the Large Business Unit issues a resolution in only 20 working days. At the Consulate of residence, it usually takes a little longer.
Can I apply for Spanish nationality with this visa?
Yes, the residency can be renewed and can even give access to long-term residency and even the time of residence under this residency counts towards Spanish nationality.
Can I travel in Europe with this visa?
Yes, the digital nomad visa allows you to travel freely within the Schengen Area countries without the need to apply for additional tourist visas.
What happens at the end of the visa term?
Before it expires, renewal may be requested if the labor, economic and legal conditions that originated the initial authorization are maintained.
