Digital nomad residence
If your work fits in a laptop, you can do it from Spain. We help you apply for digital nomad residence and get your paperwork and taxes in order.
What it involves
Digital nomad residence is a permit to work remotely from Spain for companies or clients based abroad. It is designed for remote employees and independent professionals who can prove their activity, their experience or qualifications and sufficient income. It allows you to bring your family and can be applied for from Spain or through the consulate.
