Spain offers an unmatched blend of climate, culture, and cuisine — and its 2023 Digital Nomad Visa has opened the door for remote workers who earn abroad.
What makes it work
- Digital Nomad Visa for remote workers earning abroad
- Excellent public healthcare
- Vibrant regional identities: Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Seville

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.
