    Spanish Digital Nomad Visa - Legal & Tax Compliance

    Move to Spain and work remotely with full legal and tax benefits

    Spain is one of the best countries in the world for remote workers, consistently ranking at the top of global digital nomad indexes. According to the VisaGuide Digital Nomad Index, Spain holds the #1 position worldwide, ahead of destinations such as the UAE.

    The Spanish Digital Nomad Visa, regulated by Law 14/2013, allows foreign professionals to live and work remotely from Spain while maintaining employment or freelance contracts with companies abroad.

    This visa gives access to Spain’s favourable non-resident tax regime — known as the Beckham Law — which offers significant tax advantages for eligible expats.

    At Del Canto Chambers, our dual-qualified legal and tax experts help remote professionals and entrepreneurs relocate to Spain safely and efficiently, handling every step from visa application to tax planning.

You may be eligible if you meet the following conditions:

  • You have a current employment or freelance contract active for more than three months.
    The company or clients you work with are based outside Spain and have been operating for at least one year.
  • You hold a university degree or postgraduate qualification, or have at least three years of professional experience in your field.
  • If self-employed, no more than 20% of your income comes from Spanish clients.
