Spain Digital Nomad Visa Renewal: We Support You Through the Whole Process
Not sure when to start?
4 reasons renewal is the easiest part
Your renewed permit runs for 2 years (article 76.3 of Ley 14/2013).
The renewal has no day count, but you must still actually live here and keep your tax and social security obligations in order.
Your permit stays valid until the decision. We recommend starting 4 months out, so there's room to gather documents without any pressure.
No consulate visits, no travelling to a Spanish embassy abroad.
What is different this time?
| First application | Renewal | |
|---|---|---|
|
Where to apply
|
Spanish consulate in your country or online from Spain | Online from Spain |
| Criminal record check | Required | Not required |
| Minimum income | €2,849/month in 2026 | 200% of the minimum wage in force when you apply |
| Tax declarations | Not required | No outstanding tax debts in Spain |
| Health insurance | Required unless you join Spanish social security | Must still be in force if you rely on it — see visa health insurance criteria |
One thing that doesn't change: your family members renew alongside you.
Changing employment status while holding a Digital Nomad Residence Permit
This is a change in the conditions of your permit: report it to the UGE within 30 days, with documents for the new setup. Here too, you don't need to wait 3 months before reporting.
This is the most flexible setup for freelancers. New or replacement clients still change the working relationships behind your permit, so keep work for Spanish companies under 20% and check with us whether the change needs reporting within the 30-day window.
Your renewal timeline with us Finish before your permit expires
- Day 1: we will analyze your situation, make a renewal plan and an individual list of required documents.
- 4 months before expiry: once the contract is signed, we will set up a private chat where we will conduct our work. Preparations begin immediately.
- ~2 months before expiry: we file your complete renewal package with the UGE. Filing before your permit expires keeps it valid until the decision. If the authorities request additional information, we advise you on what's needed and prepare all supporting documents.
- Within 20 working days of filing: that's the legal deadline for the decision — if none arrives, the renewal counts as approved. Once approved, we guide you through booking your TIE fingerprint appointment at the police station and what to expect on the day.
- A few weeks after fingerprinting: your plastic resident card (TIE) is usually ready to collect.
- Around the expiry date: your new 2-year residency card is in hand or on its way — and your filing receipt keeps you legal meanwhile. You can continue to work and travel just as you did before.
