Here's how others did it
James
Senior QA Engineer
February 17, 2026 – submission
March 13, 2026 – approval
James, a Senior QA Engineer based in London, wanted to relocate to Spain. Since he operates as an IE, the strategy was standard.
The main challenge for British freelancers is transitioning from the British tax system to the Spanish one. That's why he first consulted with our tax specialist to rule out any risks. Next, we helped him collect the necessary documents, James flew to Spain, and we submitted his application. The response came quickly: within 18 business days, he received approval.
Anna
Web Designer
March 2, 2026 – submission
March 25, 2026 – approval
Anna wanted to relocate to Spain to be in the same time zone with her European clients.
The primary task was coordinating documentation from both the USA and her new European counterparties. We assisted her in collecting all the necessary documents to meet Spanish requirements. Anna flew to Spain and we submitted her application. She received her approval in just 17 business days.
Louisa
Software Developer
February 20, 2026 – submission
March 9, 2026 – approval
Louisa and her partner Anna wanted to move to Barcelona. Since they weren't officially married, the first step was to register as a civil partnership (pareja de hecho) upon arrival in Spain. Once they did it, we submitted their documents. The approval came in 16 business days without any additional requests.
Matthew
Marketing Team Lead
February 5, 2026 – submission
February 27, 2026 – additional request
March 11, 2026 – approval - 24
Matthew manages two marketing projects simultaneously as a Team Lead, he planned the transition into freelance work in Europe once his current agreement ended. Due to his intense workload, he had no time for bureaucracy and trusted us to manage the paperwork and coordination. During the review, the authorities requested a more recent confirmation letter from one of his contractors. We quickly coordinated with the client to get an updated document, and Matthew was approved shortly after.

If your salary isn't enough, you can show several contractors or your savings
Yes. Your partner, children under 25 and parents over 65 can apply with you. Unmarried couples can apply by registering a “pareja de hecho” (civil partnership) in Spain. Parents and adult children can be included if you can demonstrate their financial dependence on you.
If you're employed by a foreign company, your clients must be outside Spain. If you're self-employed, up to 20% of your income can come from Spanish clients.
No. The Digital Nomad Visa renewal does not require a minimum stay in Spain. However, you must fulfil your obligations regarding the payment of taxes and social security contributions; therefore, we offer consulting services on these matters as part of our post-approval support.
Yes. After 5 years of legal residency in Spain you can apply for permanent residency.
Spain has double taxation treaties with both the UK and the USA, which means you generally won't pay tax twice on the same income. Many applicants benefit significantly from Spain's Beckham Law flat rate. But it is better to discuss your situation in detail during the tax consultation.
