How to Get Your Digital Nomad Visa in 5 Steps

Step 1: Check Your Eligibility

• You work remotely for a company based outside of Spain, or you’re a freelancer with foreign clients.
• You’ve had a professional relationship with your employer or clients for at least 3 months.
• Your annual income is at least €31,752.
• You hold a university degree or have 3+ years of work experience in your field.
• You have no criminal record in the past 5 years.

At NomadTaxSpain, we offer a free eligibility test that gives you instant feedback.

Step 2: Prepare Your Documents

• Employment or freelance contracts
• Proof of income (bank statements, payslips, invoices)
• Criminal background check (apostilled)
• Health insurance valid in Spain
• Proof of company’s operation and authorization for remote work
• Your degree or proof of work experience

Don’t worry — our platform guides you through every document and shows you what’s missing using AI.

Step 3: Submit Your Application

Once your documents are reviewed, we help you submit your visa application online through the Spanish consulate or directly in Spain if you’re already here.

We handle all the forms (like EX-01 and Model 7G0), translation requirements, and presentation to the administration.

Step 4: Wait for Approval (and Track It)

The administration usually takes 20 to 30 working days to issue a decision. You’ll receive a resolution via email or post.

With NomadTaxSpain, you’ll get automatic updates on your application status and our legal team will handle any administrative notifications or corrections needed.

Step 5: Arrive in Spain and Get Your Residence Card

• Obtain your visa or approval resolution
• Get your NIE (Foreigner Identification Number)
• Register your address and fingerprints
• Pick up your TIE card (residence card)

We can also assist with housing contracts, utilities, and even tax planning once you’re settled.
