We know how frustrating Spain's Digital Nomad Visa can be — from endless paperwork to confusing tax rules. Our English-speaking Spanish lawyers handle the whole process with you, 100% online.
Collaborations & partners









The Spanish Digital Nomad Visa lets non-EU citizens live in Spain while working remotely for companies or clients outside Spain. You can apply from your country through the Spanish consulate, or from Spain if you are here legally.
You work for a company outside Spain and can do your job 100% remotely.
You work for clients abroad; up to 20% of your work can be for Spanish clients.
Your spouse or partner and children can apply with you and live in Spain.

The income threshold is linked to the Spanish minimum wage, which is updated every year. We confirm the current figures and how to prove your income before you apply.
Check your eligibility — freeIf you are in Spain legally — for example as a tourist — you can apply for the residence permit from here. The authorities decide in about 20 working days, and the permit can be granted for up to 3 years, renewable for 2 more.
If you apply from your country through the Spanish consulate, you receive a visa valid for up to 1 year, and then renew it from Spain as a residence permit. Your family can apply at the same time.
In our experience, most refusals come from three problems that can be avoided with good preparation:
Not meeting the minimum income. The income must reach the current threshold and be proven with payslips, contracts or invoices — and it must be enough for each family member who applies with you.
Apostilles and legalisations done wrong. Degrees, criminal records and civil documents must be apostilled or legalised correctly and translated by a sworn translator. A missing apostille can sink a whole application.
Badly drafted employment contracts. The contract or the company letter must clearly state remote work from Spain, the start date of the relationship and the salary. Vague or generic contracts are one of the most common reasons for refusal.
Passport valid for the whole stay; employment contract or service agreements and a company letter authorising remote work from Spain; proof of the company's activity for at least 1 year; proof of income (payslips, invoices, bank statements); degree or proof of 3 years of experience; criminal record certificates; health insurance; and the Social Security certificate or commitment to register in Spain.
Foreign documents must be apostilled or legalised and, if they are not in Spanish, translated by a sworn translator.
If you live in Spain for more than 183 days a year, you will usually become a Spanish tax resident. Many digital nomads can opt for the Beckham Law and pay a flat 24% on their employment income for up to six years.
For Social Security, your employer can register in Spain, or — if your country has an agreement with Spain — you can present a certificate of coverage that keeps you in your home system. Our tax and Social Security team sets this up for you.
Besides our fees, plan for the government fees, apostilles of your documents, sworn translations into Spanish and private health insurance for the duration of your stay. We tell you exactly which documents need each step, so you don't pay for anything you don't need.
We help nomads relocate to Spain smoothly — from your first eligibility check to your residence card and your taxes.
We check your eligibility and prepare your case, contracts and documents.
We submit your application and follow it up until the decision.
Once approved, we book your NIE/TIE appointments and register you with Social Security and the Tax Agency.
We handle your family members' applications so you can all settle in Spain.
The total time depends mostly on how long it takes to gather your apostilled and translated documents. Once you arrive in Spain, you must apply for your TIE within one month.

I had an amazing experience working with NIM Extranjería on my student permit extension. I worked with Carmen in particular, and she was absolutely fantastic throughout the entire process. She was always available, incredibly responsive, and provided clear, expert guidance at every step. Her support made what could have been a stressful situation feel smooth and manageable. I highly recommend NIM Extranjería—and especially Carmen—for anyone needing reliable and professional immigration assistance.Posted on Google

I cannot say enough good things about this team! From the very beginning, Carmen has been extremely helpful throughout my entire DNV process, staying on top of all my appointments and always answering my many, many questions quickly. Working with NIM Extranjeria has made this process so much smoother than it ever would have been if I tried handling everything on my own, and I am so appreciative of their service and attention. I would highly recommend working with them!Posted on Google
