Visa overview

The Digital Nomad Visa and Non-Lucrative Visa are the primary routes. The DNV allows remote work for foreign employers; the NLV requires passive income and prohibits work.

Cost of living

Outside Barcelona and Madrid, Spain is significantly cheaper than the US. A comfortable single lifestyle in Valencia runs about €1,800-2,500/month.
