Spain Digital Nomad Visa

The Spain Digital Nomad Visa, officially known as the International Teleworker Visa / Residence Authorization for International Teleworkers, is a Spanish residence route for non-EU nationals who perform work or professional activities remotely using computer, telematic or telecommunications systems.

For an employee, the employment relationship must generally be with companies located outside Spain.

For a self-employed professional, work for Spanish companies may also be permitted, provided that work for Spanish companies does not exceed 20% of the applicant’s total professional activity.

 

Note : This is not a job placement visa.

 

Applicants must already have an eligible employment relationship, freelance/professional activity or business relationship that can support the application.

AAR Overseas does not provide employment as part of the visa program.
