On December 22nd<\/sup>, 2022, Law 28\/2022<\/a> (also known as the \u2018Startups Law\u2019) was passed in Spain. In today\u2019s article we analyse one of the major innovations of this Law. The \u2018Digital Nomad Visa<\/a>\u2019. In a short Q&A format, we will analyse its main features, requirements and the tax benefits offered by this new visa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n In short, it is a \u2018residence permit\u2019 for non-EU<\/a> teleworkers that allows them to reside and work in Spain, remotely (teleworking) with a series of tax benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n On the one hand, self-employed workers who work for foreign clients and can do so remotely. On the other hand, \u2018ordinary\u2019 employees are also eligible. That is, those who are linked to a single company, through an employment contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes, the ultimate goal of the law is to attract foreign talent to Spain. Therefore, the worker must have a university degree or postgraduate studies, professional training, or at least three years of professional experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes, but there is a limit. The international teleworker who resides and works in Spain, as a self-employed person, can only work for Spanish companies when the income obtained from them does not exceed 20 per cent of his\/her annual invoicing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes, proof that the company or companies for which the applicant works have been in business for at least one year must be provided. In addition, it will be necessary to demonstrate that the work can be carried out remotely. Finally, it should not be forgotten that the employment or professional relationship between the worker and the company must exist at least three months before the application is submitted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n You will need to provide a copy of your valid passport. Proof that you do not have a criminal record in Spain (nor in the country where you have lived for the last two years). Take out a private health insurance etc. Documents issued abroad must be translated and apostilled.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n In principle, the worker must prove that he\/she has a monthly amount equivalent to 200 per cent of the Minimum Interprofessional Salary. That is, approximately \u20ac2,160 per month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n When the visa is requested from Spain, the initial authorisation will have a maximum duration of three years. At the end of this period, you can ask for it to be renewed for periods of two years. This time also counts for the purposes of permanent residence (five years) and Spanish nationality<\/a> (10 years).<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes, either from the initial moment, or later on, it will be possible to group direct family members (spouse, common-law partner, children, ascendants, etc).<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n The tax regime for digital nomads is particularly beneficial. Up to \u20ac600,000, the applicable rate to income is set at 24 per cent. In addition, it will not be necessary to file the 720 Tax Form<\/a>, or the Weal<\/a>t<\/a>h Tax<\/a>. However, it will be necessary that worker has not been resident in Spain for the previous five years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At White-Baos we are specialists in Immigration Law.
