The conditions in the city of Málaga, Spain lead many foreigners to consider living there while working remotely for a company in their home country. This prompted the new legislation for the digital nomad visa.
This visa is available to all third-country nationals who work online for a company located outside of Spain. It is essential that the professional activity be carried out using computer and telecommunications systems. This visa grants the right to work and reside in Spain for its entire validity period.
What qualifications should applicants have?
All those who apply for a digital nomad visa must have a graduate or postgraduate degree issued by prestigious universities, professional training centres, or recognised business schools; or be able to demonstrate professional experience of more than 3 years.
