As part of the new Law for Start-Ups, published on 10th December 2021, the Spanish government is developing a new visa for digital nomads. This will allow people to live in Spain while working remotely for non-Spanish companies without the need for a normal work visa. It is expected that the Law for Start-Ups will be finalised before the end of 2022, at which time the digital nomad visa will become available. It should be officially approved before the end of 2022.

The digital nomad visa will apply to three groups of people:

• Digital nomads
• Foreigners who work remotely from Spain for a company based outside the country.
• Foreigners working in Spain for a company based outside the country.
