Route-fit memo
A written view of consulate versus in-Spain authorisation, family scope, current location, nationality, timing, and likely blockers.
Spain Digital Nomad Visa
A managed Spain digital nomad visa plan before you choose the filing route.
For remote employees, freelancers, contractors, and families earning from outside Spain who need consulate versus in-Spain route, work evidence, income file, family scope, and tax handoffs checked before filing.
First call: leave with route fit, remote-work evidence gaps, family scope, tax questions for a specialist, and the next decision mapped.
What you get
A practical filing plan before the visa path is chosen.
The first decision is the route and evidence story. We separate work proof, income proof, family scope, tax questions, and residence steps before the file is assembled.
Remote-work evidence map
A practical plan for employer or client relationship proof, remote-work permission, contracts, invoices, and company activity evidence.
Income and document gap list
Income proof, insurance, criminal record, apostille, translation, family records, and qualification or experience documents organized early.
Tax and residence handoff
Special tax-regime questions go to a tax specialist, while TIE, residence card, NIE, and residence setup steps stay visible.
Consulate or in-Spain path
The visa and residence-authorisation routes are not the same workflow. We map which path fits your location, timing, and family scope.
Remote permission first
Employer permission, client relationships, company activity, and remote-work proof are core evidence, not late paperwork.
Tax questions get a handoff
Form 149 and special-tax-regime questions need specialist advice. Movingto coordinates the handoff without replacing tax counsel.
Dependants planned early
Family inclusion, income coverage, insurance, and document timing are checked before a filing path is selected.
Who this fits
Why use Movingto for a Spain digital nomad case?
This route is useful only when the work arrangement, remote permission, income proof, family scope, and tax questions can be made clear. Movingto helps map the file before filing work starts.

- Applicants with special-tax-regime questions that need a specialist handoff

Common questions
Questions before you engage.
What is included in the Spain digital nomad visa service?
The service covers route-fit review, consulate versus in-Spain path mapping, remote-work evidence planning, income-proof organization, family-scope review, tax-regime handoff coordination, and residence setup tracking. Legal, tax, employment, and social-security advice remain with the relevant specialists.
Is this the same as Spain's telework visa?
Yes. The route is often called the Spain digital nomad visa, but Spanish law frames it around international telework by third-country nationals using computer or telecom systems for companies outside Spain.
Should I apply through a consulate or from inside Spain?
That depends on your location, lawful status, timeline, family scope, and evidence readiness. We map both workflows before you commit to the filing path.
What work evidence is usually needed?
Core evidence usually includes remote-work permission, an employment or professional relationship with companies outside Spain, proof that the company has real activity, income evidence, and proof of qualification or professional experience. Exact documents are checked before filing.
Can freelancers work with Spanish clients?
Spanish law allows professional activity for a Spain-based company only up to 20% of total professional activity under this route. Mixed client cases should be reviewed before filing.
Does Movingto handle Beckham Law or the special tax regime?
Movingto coordinates the handoff and document planning. Tax advice, eligibility analysis, and any Form 149 work should be handled by a tax specialist.
Can my family be included?
Family scope can be planned, but dependant evidence, income coverage, insurance, family records, apostille, translation, and timing need to be reviewed before filing.
Is Movingto a law firm?
No. Movingto coordinates the residency process. Legal advice, filing, and representation come from independent licensed professionals where required.
