Spain’s Digital Nomad Visa (DNV) is designed for remote workers and freelancers who want to live in Spain while working for companies or clients based outside of Spain. It offers a 3-year residency (extendable to 5 years), with a genuine pathway to permanent residency and even citizenship down the line.
The requirements are detailed, the paperwork is extensive, and the goalposts move – a lot.
I guide you through every step of your application, from document preparation to submission, so you can focus on planning your life in Spain, not drowning in bureaucracy.
If you’re an EU citizen planning to stay in Spain for more than 90 days, you’ll need to register for EU residency. It’s your right, but there are still hoops to jump through.
You’ll need to prove you can support yourself, whether that’s through employment, self-employment, or sufficient savings, plus have health cover sorted.
The paperwork, the appointment booking, the forms can all add up fast, and getting something wrong can mean starting over. I take care of everything from preparing your documents to booking your appointment and being on hand if you need me on the day or even attend the appointment with you, (location dependent).
Your TIE card (Tarjeta de Identidad de Extranjero) is your physical proof of residency in Spain — you’ll need it for everything from opening a bank account to renewing your residency down the line. Once your visa or residency is approved, securing that appointment is the next critical step, and if you’ve spent any time in Spanish Facebook groups, you’ll know those appointments are like gold dust in some areas of the country.
I handle your forms, fill out all the paperwork, book your appointment and walk you through exactly what to bring on the day or even attend the appointment with you, (location dependent).
If you’re a non-EU citizen joining your EU partner or family member who is already legally living in Spain, you have the right to apply for residency without needing a visa first, but the process is genuinely paperwork-heavy and easy to get wrong. From choosing the correct application type to gathering the right documents, submitting everything correctly and following up through the process, there are a lot of moving parts.
I handle all the preparation and paperwork so that everything is in order when it needs to be, keeping you updated every step of the way. No nasty surprises, no stress.
After 10 years of legal residency in Spain, or fewer if you qualify through marriage to a Spanish national, refugee status, or being from certain countries, you can apply for Spanish citizenship.
It sounds like the finish line, and in many ways it is, but the application process is document-heavy, you’ll need to pass two exams (a Spanish language test and a Spanish culture and civics test), and the whole process typically takes one to two years.
I help you understand whether you qualify, prepare your documentation correctly and guide you through the application so nothing gets missed and no time gets wasted.
