Here's how others did it

James

Senior QA Engineer

Digital nomad residence permit

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

Digital nomad residence permit

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

Digital nomad residence permit

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

Digital nomad residence permit

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 gave the entire process to us. 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.

FAQ

Will the case be handled by a lawyer?

Yes, our company's lawyer reviews your documents at every stage and before the application is submitted. You will receive feedback and can be confident that your case has been prepared correctly.

What is the minimum income requirement for Digital Nomad?

You must earn at least 200% of Spain's national minimum wage (SMI). As of March 2026, that means:

€2,849/month for a single applicant
€3,918/month for a family of 2
€4,274/month for a family of 3
+€357 for each additional family member

If your salary isn't enough, you can show several contractors or your savings

Can my family get residency too?

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.

Can I work for Spanish clients?

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.

Do I need to live in Spain for 183 days a year to renew my permit?

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.

Does the Digital Nomad permit lead to permanent residency?

Yes. After 5 years of legal residency in Spain you can apply for permanent residency.

Will I be taxed in both Spain and the UK or the USA?

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.
