Spain Digital Nomad Visa Overview
Like several European nations, Spain has rolled out its own version of a visa program aimed at digital nomads, entrepreneurs, freelancers, or remote workers. The Spanish Digital Nomad Visa provides an appealing option for those with a steady income from outside Spain.
The Spanish Digital Nomad Visa grants a single entry and authorizes the holder to reside in Spain for an initial period of 6 months, surpassing the conventional 90-day limit for tourist visas.
Beyond the initial 6-month tenure, the Spanish Digital Nomad Visa offers the opportunity to secure a residency permit in Spain, extendable for up to two years. This permit can be renewed for an additional two years. After living in Spain for five years, it's possible to apply for a long-term residency or even citizenship, subject to meeting certain conditions.
For those contemplating a medium to long-term stay in Spain, leveraging the benefits of the Digital Nomad Visa could be your gateway to an enriching living experience in this vibrant country.
