Legal FAQ
I work remotely but also have savings. Should I go Non-Lucrative or Digital Nomad?
The Non-Lucrative visa doesn't authorize any work, including remote work for a U.S. employer, so if you plan to keep working, even part-time, the Digital Nomad visa is usually the right fit. If you're fully stepping away from work, Non-Lucrative may be the better option.
Can I apply from inside Spain, or do I have to go through a consulate?
It depends on the route. Some, like the Digital Nomad visa or residency as a family member of a Spanish citizen, can be filed from within Spain as long as you're here legally. Others, like the Non-Lucrative visa, must be filed at the consulate that covers your place of residence. Choosing the right starting point can save you a trip.
When should I request my background check and other documents?
Timing matters more than most people think. Documents like your criminal record certificate and medical certificate have a limited validity window, and your background check also needs an apostille and a sworn translation. Ordering them too early, or in the wrong order, is one of the most common reasons applications get delayed.
Can I switch to a different permit later?
In many cases, yes. Spanish law allows changes between certain permits, for example if your work situation or family circumstances change. That's why we look beyond your first visa and plan a route that makes sense long term.
Do I have to live in Spain full-time?
Residence permits are designed for people who actually live in Spain. Long periods abroad can affect your renewals and your path to long-term residency, so it's worth planning your travel with that in mind.
