The Spain Digital Nomad Visa is designed for remote workers who wish to live and work in Spain.
This visa allows non-EU/EEA nationals to reside in Spain while working for an employer or as a freelancer with clients primarily outside of Spain.
The program offers a maximum stay of up to one year, with options to extend your time in the country by becoming a Spanish permanent resident or citizen.
The Spain Digital Nomad Visa grants entry to Spain and access to the entire Schengen area of 29 countries, making it easier to travel for both personal and professional reasons.
The application is designed to be relatively straightforward, with an estimated timeframe of 1–4 months to receive your initial visa approval—assuming you meet all requirements and prepare your documentation diligently.
Qualifying digital nomads may benefit from Spain’s special tax regime, which caps personal income tax at a flat rate of 24% on earnings up to €600,000. This can significantly reduce your overall tax burden compared to standard Spanish tax rates.
After legally residing in Spain for 5 continuous years on the Digital Nomad Visa, you qualify for permanent residency. Citizenship typically requires 10 years of total legal residency in Spain. Nationals from former Spanish colonies (e.g., many Latin American countries, the Philippines) become eligible after just 2 years of legal residence, however.
If you are from a country with special historical ties to Spain, such as many Latin American countries and the Philippines, you can become a dual national.
Your partner/spouse and dependent children also qualify for Spanish residency. In addition, you can include dependent parents and grandparents.
After a year of residency, you qualify for free primary and secondary education for your school-aged children.

The Challenge
Our client, a Pakistani entrepreneur, had always dreamt of providing his family with a better future, both in terms of opportunities and quality of life. After hearing about Malta's Residency by Investment program, he decided to take action.
In 2022, he successfully secured residency for himself, his wife, and their elderly parents. This allowed them to live in Malta while enjoying the benefits of an EU residency. The program promised eventual citizenship after one year of residency, which was exactly what they hoped for.
However, shortly after they moved to Malta, the client's mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. The news came as a shock, and the gravity of the situation hit hard. His mother, who had always been a source of strength for the family, now faced a life-threatening illness.
With her health at risk, the family’s immediate concern became securing the best possible treatment. This meant having access to world-class medical facilities without delay, as they didn’t have the luxury of time to wait for appointments or referrals.
The client knew that Malta's healthcare system was ranked among the best in Europe, but he wasn’t sure how quickly they could get the care his mother urgently needed. He reached out to us for guidance, hoping we could help expedite her treatment in this crucial time.
Our Solution
We immediately got to work, leveraging our extensive knowledge of Malta’s Residency by Investment program. Thanks to his status as a resident, our client had already been granted access to Malta's renowned healthcare system.
The country ranks 5th globally in healthcare quality according to the World Health Organization. It was a relief to know that his mother would receive top-notch treatment, but now we had to make the process as smooth and quick as possible.
We guided our client through the available healthcare options, helping him navigate the local medical landscape to ensure his mother could get the immediate care she required.
We recommended one of the top breast care clinics in Malta, known for its cutting-edge treatments and specialized care. She was able to get an immediate consultation, and the team quickly devised a treatment plan to address her condition.
During this time, our client’s family was in the process of completing their citizenship application, which they were eligible for after just one year of residency. As soon as they were granted citizenship, our client and his parents could travel across Europe more easily. This proved invaluable when the family made the decision to seek additional treatment in France, one of the leading countries in cancer care.
The Result
With the support of Malta’s exceptional healthcare system, the client’s mother successfully completed her treatment. Now fully recovered, the family has returned to Malta, enjoying the security of citizenship, access to free public healthcare, and the social benefits of living in a safe and vibrant country.
