DIGITAL NOMAD

The Digital Nomad Visa & Residency is one of the best ways to move and live in Spain. 

Applications are open in Spain and at most Spanish consulates We strongly recommend applying from inside Spain if possible. It is quicker, easier & cheaper (no expensive consulate fees) and Residency can be up to 3 years instead of the Visa 1 year via the consulate.
