Emigranto1mo ago

Spain's digital nomad visa requires a minimum monthly income of €3,024 (€36,288 per year), which represents 200% of the Spanish minimum wage.

For families, you need to add:

  • 75% (€1,134) for the first dependent (spouse or child)
  • 25% (€378) for each additional dependent

Example: A family of 3 (applicant + spouse + child) would need approximately €3,024 + €1,134 + €378 = €4,536 per month (€54,432 per year).

Acceptable income sources:

  • Employment contract with foreign company
  • Freelance/consulting contracts with non-Spanish clients
  • Business income from remote work
  • Combination of the above

Important notes:

  • Must prove this income for the past 3-6 months with bank statements
  • Can work for Spanish clients for up to 20% of total income
  • Income must be stable and verifiable
  • Eligible for Beckham Law (24% flat tax rate) if you qualify

The visa is initially valid for 1 year and renewable for 2+2 years (5 years total), providing a pathway to permanent residence.
