Spain has released the law for the new digital nomad visa in January 2023. To get the residency in Spain with Spain‘s digital nomad visa is a brand new opportunity for digital nomads from all over the world. The residency in Spain will automatically allow you to also travel through Europe.
There are more and more countries offering digital nomad visa Spain is only one of them. In this video I will talk to an immigration lawyer of the Balcells group who has lots of experiences with the digital nomad visa Spain already. He will tell you all about the requirements to get Spain‘s digital nomad visa approved. Afterwards I'll talk to a US American citizen who has just recently got his digital nomad visa Spain approved and with that has earned the residency of Spain.

I liked both interviews, and thank you for sharing this information with us. The immigration lawyer explained well the requirements to obtain the visa and is good to know that there are agencies that can help with the process. In the interview with the US Citizen I liked his idea that you don't have to wait to retire when you're old to travel. You can start doing both work and travel right now! 😊✌

Not sure if you'll know this but perhaps you might. When they ask for proof of income, are tax returns and/or an accountant letter enough or are they firm in wanting the last 3-6 months bank statements?

Thank you so much for this. Can applicants enter Spain with their first-world passport then apply for DNV in Spain with their ex-colony passport, to be able to apply for SP citizenship after 2 years of residence? Thank you.

@aventuralina 2 месяца назад

Hi, I’m happy that you liked the video :) I’m not sure what you mean with ex-colony passport. Usually people from LatAm can apply for the nationality after 2 years. But you’d have to contact a lawyer about that to be 100% sure

@petr-to3mv 7 месяцев назад

24% taxes is crazy huge. It's 720euro for 3k salary + taxes in my own country

@aventuralina 7 месяцев назад

If you have the nationality of a country where you will always have to pay taxes no matter whether you are a resident there or not, you still won’t pay double tax because there are tax treaty’s between Spain and those countries. That would mean that you can decease you tax in your home country by the tax that you pay on Spain. Meaning you don’t pay more taxes than before. If you don’t have the nationality in countries such as the US or Australia (and a few others) you simply don’t pay taxes there anymore as you become a resident of Spain.

I have clients as a freelancer in America here and I’m registered self employed here once I get visa approval I then have to be registered as self employed in Spain. So then I no longer have to be registered self employed here in the USA and pay taxes?

@aventuralina Месяц назад

As far as I know you will always be taxable in the US if you are a US citizen. But I’m not American and definitely not an expert for the US tax system. You should consult an expert in the US about that. Sorry that I cannot help better 🙃

@jb478x 5 месяцев назад

very informative, @aventuralina I just have question on the part of taxation. If i am working remotely in the Philippines for a company in the US, then my DNV has been approved in SPAIN, I need to pay 24% of tax while working in Spain right? If yes, it means I am paying taxes in Phil and Spain so 2 taxes then ?

@aventuralina 5 месяцев назад

You can only have one residency in one country. Either you are a resident of the Philippines and pay your taxes there or you are a resident in Spain and pay your taxes in Spain. It doesn’t make sense to have two residencies at the same time and it also doesn’t make sense to get the Digital Nomad visa in Spain if you don’t want to stay there long term. Also in order to gat the Digital Nomad visa in Spain you will have to live there at least 6 months of the year. Otherwise it won’t get approved or they will take away your residency. Living in Spain 6 months of the year means you are a tax resident and you will have to pay taxes there. I hope that it’s a bit clearer now :)

@ux.milosh 7 месяцев назад

Thank you for sharing this information. It is super valuable. I have one question that I don't think is covered here. If I am an entrepreneur from a country that is not in the EU and apply for a digital nomad visa in Spain, will I need to pay taxes in both countries or only in my home country where I am registered and pay flat-rate taxes? Thanks in advance :)

@aventuralina 7 месяцев назад

Thanks a lot for your feedback! I’m happy this video has a lot of value for you. If you come here, you will have to pay taxes here. Usually you wouldn’t pay taxes in your home country anymore (unless you are from a country such as the US). But if your country is a low tax country obviously this means that you’ll pay more taxes in Spain as at home. With the nomad visa you will receive the residency. Being a resident of Spain also means to be a tax resident and therefore paying taxes in Spain is inevitable

@buhitman5454 6 месяцев назад

Thank you, Alina for this helpful video. Would you know if we pay taxes on the income generated from Spain or outside Spain? It wouldn't make sense to pay tax in home country and pay tax again in Spain.

@aventuralina 6 месяцев назад

I’m happy you find this video helpful ☺️ If you have to pay taxes in your home country depends on where you are from. For example US citizens always have to pay taxes in there country not matter where they reside or where they generate their income. But there are tax reductions that you can apply so that you won’t have to pay double tax. Usually you only pay taxes in the country where you have your residency and with the nomad visa you’d gain the residency in Spain and will therefore be taxable in Spain. You won’t be allowed to generate an income in Spain. Your income has to be generated online and outside of Spain. That’s one of the requirements for the digital nomad visa. Hope this helps :)

I heard that there were issues for full-time (non-contract) US employees regarding the social security aspect of the digital nomad visa. Has that been resolved?

@aventuralina 6 месяцев назад

I‘m not quite sure what you mean to be honest. I personally haven’t heard of issues with the social security 🤔 The US American citizen who told his story at the end of the video (non-contractor) didn’t have any problems with social security

@Silvercp28 6 месяцев назад

No, it has not been resolved! You can only apply as a self-employed contractor or consultant at this time. Unless you own the company and register with Spain's social security administration and pay taxes directly with a company based in Spain. Otherwise, the issue continues with Certificate of Coverage and the Social Security Adm. At this time, employees who try for DNV are denied period. Do NOT get fooled from lawyers in Spain and end up losing money because work ethics are NOT the same as the U.S. Also, a self-employed contractor DOES NOT PAY 24% as the "Beckham Law" does not apply to self-employed at this time. As you can tell, it's NOT as easy and / or lawyers in your best interests.

@Silvercp28 6 месяцев назад

U.S. employees are not eligible at this time. Unless you register a company with the social security administration and pay social security directly to Spain as an employee of the company based in Spain. Otherwise, you can only apply as a self-employed remote worker and pay Spain taxes. Also, you will NOT pay 24% as per DNV advertising and will pay on any out of country assets as "the Beckham Law" does NOT apply to self-employed DNV holder since you are taxed as a resident of Spain. Please make sure you understand the tax implications because immigration lawyers are NOT communicating to clients on the consequences of non-resident vs. residents taxes. Beware, lots of lawyers will take your money and then say, "Sorry" about the outcomes / taxes while keeping your money!!!

@IndieMusique-dg7df 7 месяцев назад

one question, is there a path to citizenship with the digital nomad visa?

@aventuralina 6 месяцев назад

You will get the residency with that visa for three years. After that you can prolong the visa. You will get the citizenship after a certain time (can be after 2 years or up to 10 years of residency depending on where you come from). If you manage to keep the residency in Spain either with the digital nomad visa or any other way, yes, you can get the citizenship. Of course for that there are further requirements that you need to fulfill besides being a resident of Spain for a certain amount of time

First of all there is no need to earn 3000 euros per month to get the digital nomad visa in Spain. And also not everybody wants to live in places such as Dubai 😉 Spain as a country has a lot of beautiful things to offer. Either you connect with a place or not. But if you do and you feel at home and in addition to that it gives you lots of other advantages and privileges, it makes sense to pay a small amount of taxes there, as it really is not that much in case of the digital nomads :)
