Working in Spain as a freelancer, a remote employee or a company hiring here? We tell you which Social Security regime applies to you, register you online and help you avoid paying twice — fully in English.
Collaborations & partners
If you work in Spain — as an employee, as a freelancer (autónomo) or remotely for a foreign company — you will normally have to contribute to the Spanish Social Security system, unless an international agreement says otherwise.
Getting it right from the start protects your access to public healthcare, sick leave and your future pension, and avoids penalties and double contributions.
Registration in the self-employed regime, the €80 flat rate and the right contribution bracket for your income.
Working for a foreign company? Your employer registers in Spain, or you use a certificate of coverage from your country.
Registering as an employer, international staff and employment contracts adapted to Spanish labour law.

If you work in Spain as an employee or as self-employed, normally yes. The main exception is when an EU rule or a bilateral agreement keeps you in your home country's system and you have a certificate that proves it.
Since 2023, autónomos pay according to their real net income, in brackets. New autónomos can pay a flat rate of €80 a month for the first 12 months, and for 12 more if their net income is below the minimum wage.
Either your employer registers with the Spanish Social Security and pays your contributions here, or — if your country has an agreement with Spain and issues it — you present a certificate of coverage that keeps you in your home system.
It is a document issued by your home country's social security (the A1 form within the EU) that confirms you keep contributing there while working in Spain, so you don't pay twice.
All EU and EEA countries and Switzerland, plus many others with bilateral agreements, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and many Latin American countries. Each agreement has its own rules.
Under EU rules and most bilateral agreements, periods contributed in other countries can be added together to qualify for a pension. Each country then pays its own part.
Yes, through the Social Security online platform with a digital certificate or Cl@ve. We can file for you with your authorisation.
No. The NIE is your foreigner identity number; the Social Security number (NUSS) is a separate number you need to work and contribute in Spain. Both stay the same for life.
Choose the 1-hour Social Security consultation (€120, VAT incl.) or any other consultation, and pick a time that suits you. Its cost is deducted from your fees if you hire us.
