In June 2024, Spain amended its immigration law to include a new visa category known as the “Digital Nomad Visa” (or DNV). For the first time ever, it allows for non-EU applicants to qualify quickly and upon approval, to live and work from Spain.
Qualifying is simple and requires demonstrating that the applicant works remotely for a company outside of Spain, or for themselves.
The DNV is also suitable as a gateway to obtaining EU residency and eventual EU citizenship from Spain. Obtaining the DNV takes approximately 30-45 days, then Spanish residency in 5 years, and Spanish citizenship at 10 years. Nationals from Latin America, the Philippines, Andorra, and Equatorial Guinea can convert to EU/Spanish citizenship after two years in this initial visa status.
This is not an investor visa category, so no investment is required. If you are interested, please complete the eligibility questionnaire and upon receipt and review, we will reply with further details and coordinate a private meeting for you with one of our lawyers.
