Digital Nomad Visa (DNV)
The Digital Nomad Visa in Spain is designed for foreigners who wish to reside in Spain while working remotely for employers or companies based outside the country. Applicants can work as employees or self-employed individuals using only computers and telecommunication systems. If self-employed, they may also work for a company in Spain, as long as this work does not exceed 20% of their total professional activity. Dependents of the main applicants are allowed to work for Spanish companies, enabling the entire family to benefit from their time in Spain.
Duration
Digital Nomad Visa offers remote workers the chance to live in Spain for up to 3 years, with the option to renew for a total of 5 years. Remarkably, after these 5 years, you can apply for permanent residency, and citizenship is a possibility just 5 years after that.

Social Security, Health Insurance and Passport
Existen diferentes configuraciones en función de si eres trabajador por cuenta ajena o por cuenta propia, y si existe un acuerdo bilateral entre España y tu país de origen en materia de seguridad social.
● En el caso de un empleado con convenio bilateral entre España y su país de origen, se requiere un seguro médico privado con cobertura total para usted y sus dependientes durante el período de solicitud. Tiene la opción de registrarse en el Sistema Nacional de Salud español y cancelar su seguro médico privado más adelante en el proceso.
● Para un trabajador autónomo, es necesaria una declaración en la que se compromete a inscribirse para pagar la seguridad social española si la solicitud es exitosa.

How to apply
Applying from Spain: If you are able to go to Spain as a tourist, or if you are already in Spain as a tourist, you can apply for a 3 year DNV resident permit from within the country. This permit can subsequently be renewed for an additional two years if requirements continue to be met.
Applying from a Consulate: Alternatively, you can apply from your home country through the nearest Spanish consulate. This option requires you to submit your application and all supporting documents to the consulate. You will initially receive a one-year visa, which can later be converted into a three-year DNV residence permit.
