Live and work remotely from Spain.
We handle the paperwork.
The Spain Digital Nomad Visa is the most compelling remote work visa in Europe right now. Getting approved is where most people struggle. We've done this 1,200+ times. We know exactly what it takes.
What is the Spain Digital Nomad Visa?
Launched in January 2023, the Digital Nomad Visa lets non-EU remote workers live legally in Spain while continuing to work for their foreign employer or clients. It's not a tourist visa loophole, it's a fully recognized residency authorization.
Unlike similar visas in Portugal or Greece, the Spain DNV allows up to 20% of income from Spanish clients, includes full Schengen mobility, and offers a clear path toward permanent residency. Spain is currently ranked the #1 digital nomad destination globally.
The application is document-heavy and increasingly scrutinized since late 2024, especially for freelancers and business owners. One wrong apostille or missing translation is enough to get rejected. Getting it right the first time matters.

1,200+ people trusted us with their relocation.
"Having never applied for a visa in my life, I assumed it would be easy. After my first attempt got an immediate denial, I realized I needed help. Needless to say, with such a great team, the second attempt was a success."
"I was told it would likely take two months. To my utter shock, it took just TWO DAYS. Ann and her team had prepared me so thoroughly that I was a shoo-in. You changed my life."
"It was only when EasyStart got involved that my problem with the authorities — which had been going on for 2 years — was resolved with a positive outcome."
"If you're thinking of moving, save yourself a lot of heartache and hire EasyStart from the start. I now have a registered company and moved into my new apartment. I couldn't have done it without them."
"They helped me choose the correct visa, guided me through every step, all the way through receiving my visa and getting integrated into the social benefits program."
"With EasyStart you really feel their dedication and attention to you. Everything has a personalized touch, and they reply faster than any other agency I've seen."

Things you probably want to know first.
How long does the DNV process take?
Typically 2–3 months from eligibility check to approval. We recommend starting at least 3 months before your planned move date.
Can I apply if I'm self-employed or run my own company?
Yes, but this is the profile that requires the most careful preparation. Since late 2024, consulates have increased scrutiny on business owners with circular ownership structures. We have specific experience navigating these cases.
Do I need to already be in Spain to apply?
No. You can apply via your local Spanish consulate from your home country. For the 3-year version, you can apply in-country. We help with both routes.
Can I bring my family?
Yes. Spouses and dependent children can be included. Our Couple pricing covers a primary applicant plus one dependent. Additional dependents are +€290 each.
What if my income fluctuates month to month?
Consulates look at your average over the past 12 months. We review your numbers on the eligibility call and advise whether now is the right moment to apply or whether to wait.
What's the difference between the DNV and the Non-Lucrative Visa?
The DNV is for people who actively work remotely. The Non-Lucrative Visa is for people who don't need to work — retirees or those with significant passive income. The Golden Visa ended in April 2025, so the NLV is now the main alternative. We'll tell you which fits in the first 10 minutes of your call.
