What Is the Spain Digital Nomad Visa (DNV)?

Spain’s DNV is designed for remote workers and freelancers outside the EU who want to live and work legally in Spain while earning from abroad. Think of it as a golden ticket to paella, palm trees, and productive mornings in Europe. Unlike a tourist visa, the DNV offers a longer stay — up to five years — and access to many of the benefits Spanish residents enjoy.

What Makes This Visa So Special For Filipinos?

With the Spain Digital Nomad Visa (DNV), you can legally live in Spain — initially for 1 year if you apply from the Philippines, or up to 3 years if you apply directly from within Spain. While working remotely, you’ll also have access to public services such as healthcare and education. You're allowed to bring your family as dependents, and for Filipinos, this can be a pathway to citizenship after just 2 years of living in Spain.

Are You Eligible?

If you're a remote worker or freelancer, this could be your chance. Here's a quick checklist:

You must have a University degree or 3+ Years of Relevant Work Experience in your field.
- You've worked for at least 3 months for a company that's operating for at least 1 year.
A monthly salary of at least €2.762,66 or around P176,000 (depending on the conversion rate)

What are the Basic Requirements?

A non-EU passport (yep, that’s us!)
Remote job or freelance contracts with clients outside Spain
A clean police record (you’ll need an NBI clearance)
Private health insurance that’s valid in Spain
Bank Statements or Income documents
Diplomas and other education documents
Apostilles and Translations

It’s a bit of paperwork—but doable.

Final Thoughts: Is It Worth It?

100%. It’s not just a visa—it’s a lifestyle change. A freedom pass.

If you’re dreaming of European adventures without quitting your job, Spain is saying Bienvenido. And we’re here, cheering you on.
