Question 1

What is Spain's International Teleworking Visa?

Accepted Answer

The International Teleworking Visa, introduced under Spain's Startups Law (2023), allows remote workers employed by or owning companies outside Spain to live in Spain. It offers faster processing (15-45 days) and a lower income threshold than comparable EU nomad visas.

Question 2

What is the Beckham Regime for new residents in Spain?

Accepted Answer

The Beckham Regime (formally the Impatriate Workers Regime) allows qualifying individuals who become tax resident in Spain to pay a flat 24% rate on Spanish-source income for up to six years, rather than the standard progressive rates of 19-47%. It must be applied for within six months of becoming tax resident. Nomadic Go does not provide tax advice - consult a qualified Spanish tax professional.

Question 3

How long does the Spain Teleworking Visa take to process?

Accepted Answer

The Spain International Teleworking Visa typically processes in 15-45 days at the Spanish consulate in your home country, making it one of the fastest EU nomad visa routes. A 3-year residence permit (TIE card) is available directly without an initial short-stay visa in some consulates.

Question 4

Can I form a company in Spain?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Spain supports standard EU company structures including the Sociedad Limitada (SL), equivalent to a UK Ltd or Portuguese Lda. Corporate tax is 25% (23% for SMEs). Nomadic Go provides company formation assistance in Spain.

Question 5

Can I open a bank account in Spain as a non-resident?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Spain has a well-developed EU banking system and a growing fintech ecosystem. Non-residents and new residents can open accounts at major banks and digital banks. Nomadic Go provides personal banking assistance in Spain.

Question 6

Can Russian or Belarusian passport holders apply for the Spain Teleworking Visa?

Accepted Answer

As of mid-2026, Spain has not formally suspended visa processing for Russian or Belarusian passport holders, but applications are subject to enhanced scrutiny and extended processing times at Spanish consulates. Applicants must demonstrate lawful income from outside Russia/Belarus, a clean criminal record, and valid health insurance. Outcomes are less predictable than for other nationalities, and consulate policies may change. This is subject to change based on EU Common Foreign and Security Policy developments.
