Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Digital Nomad Visa in Spain?

Spain's Digital Nomad Visa (Visa para Nómadas Digitales) was introduced in 2023. It allows remote workers and freelancers who work primarily for non-Spanish clients to live legally in Spain. Requirements include: minimum monthly income of ~€2,334, work contract or freelance clients outside Spain, private health insurance, clean criminal record. We assess your eligibility in consultation.

Can I convert TPS (Temporary Protection Status) to a regular residence permit?

Yes, this is currently one of the most common transitions we help with. You can apply for a regular residence permit before your TPS expires. The best option depends on your work situation, time in Spain, and family ties. We explain all pathways in your consultation.

What is Arraigo Social?

Arraigo Social (social rootedness) is a residence permit for people who have lived in Spain for at least 3 years without regular immigration status, have no criminal record, and can demonstrate social integration. It can be a pathway to regularisation for long-term undocumented residents.

How long does a residence permit application take in Spain?

Processing times vary by permit type and region: standard residence permits typically take 1–3 months; DNV applications take 20 business days for the initial visa, then TIE application; TPS renewals are currently processed within a few weeks. We advise on realistic timelines for your specific case.

Do I need a lawyer to apply for a residence permit?

It's not legally required, but a consultation significantly reduces the risk of application errors, missing documents, or choosing the wrong permit type. SpainDesk provides advisory consultations; for full legal representation and document processing, we connect you with LexDixit.
