WHAT IS THE SPAIN DIGITAL NOMAD VISA

 

The Spain Digital Nomad Visa allows foreign nationals to reside in Spain while working remotely for companies located outside of Spain using digital or telecommunication means.

 

Applicants may either apply directly in Spain for a residence permit or submit their application through the Spanish Consulate in the United States.

 

U.S. citizens may enter Spain without a visa for up to 90 days; however, all required documentation must be properly apostilled and translated before submission. Applicants are required to obtain a NIE (Foreigner Identification Number) prior to applying.

 

APOSTILLE REQUIREMENTS FOR SPAIN DIGITAL NOMAD VISA

 

Spain is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention. All foreign documents must be legalized with an apostille in order to be accepted by Spanish authorities.

 

Each document must be processed correctly depending on whether it is a state-issued document or a federal document. Incorrect apostille processing is one of the most common reasons for delays and application rejections.

 

Miami Dade Apostille ensures that documents are processed correctly based on Spanish Consulate requirements. If you are unsure which documents require apostille or how they must be prepared, contact us before submitting your application.

FBI BACKGROUND CHECK APOSTILLE FOR SPAIN

 

The FBI background check is one of the most important requirements for the Spain Digital Nomad Visa.

 

The Spanish Consulate requires that the FBI background check be issued within the last six months, apostilled at the federal level by the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C., and translated into Spanish.

 

State or local background checks are not accepted under any circumstances.

 

Improper processing of the FBI background check will result in delays or rejection of the application. Miami Dade Apostille handles the federal apostille process to ensure compliance with these requirements.

Applicants must demonstrate sufficient financial means to support themselves while residing in Spain.

 

The general requirement is at least 200 percent of Spain’s minimum interprofessional wage, with additional amounts required for dependents.

HEALTH INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS

 

Applicants must obtain health insurance that is valid in Spain.

 

The policy must provide full coverage, including medical, hospital, and outpatient care, with no deductible, no co-payment, and no coverage limits.
