The client, a US-based consultant earning from foreign clients, wanted to live legally in Barcelona while continuing to work remotely — without setting up a Spanish company or changing employer.
We confirmed his income met the threshold (around €2,800/month in 2026), gathered proof of experience and qualifications, verified his client mix, and filed the International Telework Visa application through the local UGE office, which allowed him to obtain a three-year permit directly. In parallel, we secured his access to the Beckham Law tax regime.
Result: the client obtained residency for 3 years, renewable up to 5, with his foreign income taxed at the reduced 24% rate.
The takeaway: it pays to apply for the Digital Nomad Visa from inside Spain — it saves a year of waiting and unlocks the favorable tax regime.
