The development of new technologies, globalization of the economy and the pandemic have caused great changes in our lives and in our way of understanding work. We easily “knocked down” the walls of our offices and learned to organize our workday from home. Companies have had to adapt to the new reality and teleworking has become in some sectors the optimal option to maintain and increase productivity.
These changes generated a rapid response in the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan and in the Strategy of the Spanish Entrepreneurial Nation, which includes, among other measures: support for entrepreneurship, development of financial instruments to boost initial investment and the creation of startups in disruptive technologies.
On December 22, Law 28/2022, also known as the Start-up Law, was published in the Official State Gazette, the purpose of which is to support the creation and growth of emerging companies and the establishment in Spain of both entrepreneurs and of workers known as “digital nomads.” This law introduces a new type of visa and residence and work authorization (for international teleworking) within those regulated by Law 14/2013, of September 27, known as the Entrepreneurs Law.
The new visa for teleworkers (Digital Nomads) is aimed at non-EU citizens who work remotely for foreign companies, both as employees and as self-employed, and want to reside in Spain. The visa for digital nomads will allow you to live for one year in Spain, then you can apply for 3-year residency with a subsequent 2-year renewal, “as long as the conditions that generated the right are maintained.”
