International Remote Work

Spain Digital Nomad Visa for Remote Workers from the United States

Spain's residence authorization for international remote workers is intended for non-EU nationals who work remotely for companies located outside Spain using computer and telecommunications technology.

Before you apply, we review whether your employment or professional relationship, documentation, Social Security position, health insurance, and relocation plan fit this route.

Initial Review

Working Online Is Not Enough

Before applying for Spain's digital nomad visa, it is important to review your relationship with the company or clients, how long that relationship has existed, the company's actual activity, permission to work from Spain, your qualifications or professional experience, financial resources, and Social Security obligations.

A well-prepared application should also fit your family situation, tax planning, and actual timeline for moving to Spain. When tax advice is needed, we introduce and coordinate the appropriate qualified professional.

Profiles That May Qualify

Remote Employment or Independent Professional Work

The documentation and strategy depend on how you earn your income and maintain your relationship with the company or clients.

01

Remote Employee

For someone employed by a foreign company that expressly authorizes remote work from Spain.

02

Independent Professional

For someone who provides professional services to companies located outside Spain and can document the relationship and its terms.

Documentation and Requirements

What We Review Before Preparing the Application

Not every case requires the same documents. We first organize the profile and then identify what needs to be documented.

01

Existing Relationship

How long the employment or professional relationship has existed and whether the activity will continue from Spain.

02

Foreign Company

The actual business activity of the company or companies with which you maintain the employment or professional relationship.

03

Remote Work Authorization

Employer authorization or professional documentation showing that the activity can be carried out remotely from Spain.

04

Qualifications or Experience

Relevant qualifications or professional experience showing that you have the background required for the activity.

05

Financial Means and Health Coverage

Financial resources, health insurance or applicable coverage, and family documentation when relevant.

06

Social Security

Contribution obligations, possible international coverage, and the documentation that should be prepared before the activity begins.

Coordinating the Case

How We Organize the Process

Our role is to coordinate the immigration, documentation, tax, and practical parts of the move so the application fits the broader relocation plan. When specialist tax advice is required, we introduce and coordinate the qualified advisor.

  1. 01

    Profile Review

    We review your activity, income, company, clients, family, and expected arrival date.

  2. 02

    Document Plan

    We organize certificates, contracts, letters, insurance, financial resources, and personal documentation.

  3. 03

    Professional Coordination

    When needed, we coordinate the legal, tax, or Social Security review with the appropriate qualified professionals.

  4. 04

    Timeline and Filing

    We organize priorities and next steps so the residence application is not separated from the rest of the move.

Two Different Decisions

The Digital Nomad Visa and the Beckham Law Are Not the Same

They may both be relevant to the same move, but they address different issues and should be reviewed separately.

Residency and Work

Digital Nomad Visa

This is an immigration route that allows qualifying applicants to live in Spain and carry out remote employment or professional work.

Taxes

Beckham Law

This is a special tax regime. It does not apply automatically when the visa is approved and requires a separate review by a qualified tax advisor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Spain Digital Nomad Visa

Can I apply if I work remotely for a U.S. company?

It may be possible when the employment relationship, the company, and the authorization to work from Spain meet the applicable requirements. The contract, the length of the relationship, and Social Security position should be reviewed before filing.

Can an independent professional apply?

It may be possible if you can document your professional activity, your relationship with companies located outside Spain, and the terms under which you will continue providing services remotely.

Does the Beckham Law apply automatically?

No. The residence authorization and the special tax regime are separate matters. A qualified tax advisor should review possible eligibility for the Beckham Law independently.

Can my family come with me?

Family members may be included when the relevant requirements are met and the documentation for each person is prepared. It is best to review the family as a whole from the beginning.

Private Assessment

Do You Work Remotely and Want to Move to Spain?

We review whether the digital nomad visa may fit your activity, documentation, family situation, and relocation plan before you begin the process.

Eligibility depends on the requirements in force, the documentation available, and the decision of the competent authorities.
