Spain calls this the international teleworker route. It covers qualifying non-EU employees and self-employed professionals working remotely for businesses outside Spain; the legal test changes with the work relationship. Establish your work model before assembling an application.
This directory compares law firms and immigration providers, not guaranteed outcomes. Use the Spanish government's teleworker guidance to frame your questions, then ask a named Spanish lawyer to explain the evidence and filing path for your case.

View the record→Ask each provider who the responsible Spanish abogado is, which bar register records that lawyer, and whether the firm has handled your particular employee, freelancer or owner-managed-company structure. A firm's international reach or a lawyer licensed in another country does not by itself establish Spanish-law representation. Compare the named lawyer, evidence review, filing responsibility and post-decision support, not just a headline fee. Our verification methodology explains what a directory credential label does and does not prove.
A useful first assessment should produce a written risk list: where the company is established, whether the work can be performed entirely remotely, how long the company and relationship have existed, and what must happen with Spanish social security. Under Articles 74 bis and 74 ter of Law 14/2013, the foreign business must have real activity for at least one year; the applicant generally needs a qualifying degree or at least three years of professional experience, and the foreign employment or client relationship must be documented for the preceding three months.
Employees may work only for businesses outside Spain under this route. A self-employed professional may perform work for Spanish clients, but Spanish-client activity cannot exceed 20% of total professional activity. That is a freelancer rule, not a general permission for a foreign employee to take Spanish work. Ask counsel to classify your contracts before treating the 20% allowance as available to you. The distinction is in Article 74 bis and the UGE's teleworker FAQ.
The UGE document list requests extra proof from an applicant who owns or controls the foreign company, including control, company-tax and activity evidence. Ask whether the quote covers that evidence, employer permission to work from Spain, payslips or invoices, bank records, qualifications, criminal-record certificates, translations and any legalisation. Do not assume an ordinary employee checklist fits a company-owner case.
The UGE FAQ sets the main applicant's monthly financial reference at 200% of Spain's minimum wage. The 2026 SMI is €1,221 per month, making that reference €2,442 per month. An accompanying family member raises the requirement; the FAQ specifies 75% of SMI for the first and 25% for each additional member. Ask a lawyer to calculate the complete family case and identify which work-income records and savings evidence the filing office will accept. Meeting a headline figure alone does not secure approval.
For a written fee quote, separate eligibility review, employer or client documents, translations and apostilles, the visa or residence filing, family applications, social-security coordination, tax advice, and any post-approval registration or card work. Directory fee bands describe a provider's broader services where published; they are not a price for your digital nomad case.
The UGE FAQ treats social-security registration as a core issue. A foreign employer may need to register in Spain to affiliate an employee; an applicable international agreement and the proper coverage certificate may offer a different route for an employee. Self-employed professionals generally register in Spain's RETA system. Ask who will obtain the necessary certificate or registration and at what stage. A generic promise that foreign payroll is enough is not an evidence plan.
Immigration approval does not settle tax residence or eligibility for a special tax regime. Ask for a separate written tax assessment if your move, employer or ownership structure creates Spanish-tax questions. The UGE documentation guide also distinguishes public or equivalent private health cover from travel-only policies; have counsel check the policy actually proposed for your file.
The statute provides a consular telework visa for applicants abroad, valid for up to one year, and a residence authorisation for qualifying people already in Spain lawfully, valid for up to three years. A later renewal may be granted for two-year periods if conditions continue. Ask which path applies to your present immigration status, where the application must be submitted, and who handles the next step after approval. Do not rely on an advertised processing time as a guaranteed decision date.
Spain's investor golden visa is closed to new applications. Remote workers should compare the digital nomad route on its own eligibility, tax and family facts rather than assume it inherits investor-visa conditions. The broader Spain immigration-lawyer directory can help if another residence category may fit better.
Employees under this route may work only for companies outside Spain. Self-employed professionals may work for Spanish companies if that work does not exceed 20% of their total professional activity. Ask a lawyer how the percentage is documented in your particular case.
The main-applicant reference is 200% of Spain's minimum monthly wage: €2,442 per month in 2026. The first accompanying family member adds 75% of the minimum wage, and each further member adds 25%. These are financial references, not approval guarantees; the authorities assess the supporting evidence.
A person already in Spain lawfully may apply for the international-teleworker residence authorisation if the other conditions are met. Someone applying from abroad generally uses the consular visa route. Ask counsel which filing path fits your current status and where the application must be submitted.
The published eligibility rules do not make hiring a lawyer a condition. A Spanish lawyer may be especially useful for employer social-security arrangements, a company you own, mixed client income, family filings or a disputed document request. Confirm the named lawyer's Spanish registration and get a written scope.
No. Spain's investor golden visa closed to new applications. The digital nomad route is a separate work-based route requiring qualifying foreign remote work, income, credentials and social-security evidence.
