Spain made the decision to be at the forefront in 2023. Since January 1, 2023, the new startup law came into force, it regulates the possibility that people from anywhere in the world can work remotely for any company from another country while residing in Spain.
The digital nomad visa, as the person who teleworks within Spanish territory for an international entity is called, may be renewed for a maximum period of five years, according to El Tiempo.

What is the digital nomad visa?
A digital nomad visa is one that allows a person who works for a company abroad to work remotely within the national territory. Generally for a minimum period of one year. However, this type of visa does not allow local work within the country.
In the case of Spain, any interested person who meets the requirements may apply for a digital nomad visa to reside in that country for a period of one year with the possibility of renewal for up to five years in total.
“The visa for international teleworking allows you to enter and reside in Spain for a maximum of one year,” says Law 28/2022, also known as the startup law.
It adds that, after completing the first 12 months, you can “request an authorization for a maximum period of three years, renewable for a period of two years, being able to obtain permanent residence after five years.”

A striking detail is that, with this visa, applicants can also bring their spouses and children. In case this happens, the minimum income requested will go up.
Likewise, the worker who wants to apply for the visa cannot have a criminal record in Spain or in other countries where they have resided in the last two years.
For this, an affidavit will be requested stating the non-existence of any crime in a period of five years.
Finally, it is essential to take out health insurance without deficiencies or co-payments.
How can I apply for the digital nomad visa?
The consulates are in the process of implementing the application for that type of visa. They have until March 30 to do so. Once it happens, an application must be presented at the diplomatic missions or at the consular offices; they do not need to be in Spain.
Likewise, a permanent residence in Spain may be requested if the worker is living regularly or is studying in the country.
In Spain, foreigners can apply for nationality after 2 years of living legally in that territory.
