Guidance on Digital Nomad Visa and Beckham Law Tax System

Joint residency & tax planning advisory


International mobility and relocations to Spain

In an increasingly globalized world, the ability to live and work remotely has given rise to a new class of professionals: digital nomads. Spain, recognizing this trend, offers the Digital Nomad Visa, which allows non-EU citizens to reside in Spain while working remotely for companies located outside the country. Concurrently, the Beckham Law provides favorable tax conditions for foreigners relocating to Spain. Leveraging these two systems requires expert advice to ensure compliance and optimal financial benefits

Tailored residency services

Non-lucrative visa

The non-lucrative visa is a residence permit available for non-EU citizens who have sufficient economic means to reside in Spain without engaging in any work or professional activity. This visa is ideal for retirees, individuals with independent means, or those looking to enjoy an extended stay in Spain while meeting the income and savings requirements.


Holders of the non-lucrative visa can legally live in Spain and apply for an initial one-year residency permit, which can be renewed for up to four more years. After five years of continuous residence, they become eligible to apply for permanent residency. The visa also allows for family reunification, enabling visa holders to bring their family members to Spain under the same conditions.


Intracompany transfer

The Intracompany Transfer Visa is a specialized residence permit designed for employees transferring within the same company or corporate group to work in Spain. This visa is ideal for professionals, managers, and specialists relocating temporarily to a Spanish branch, subsidiary, or affiliate of their employer.


Key benefits include streamlined processing, family reunification options, and authorization to work and reside in Spain for the duration of the assignment. Applicants must demonstrate a valid employment relationship, relevant qualifications, and an ongoing connection to the home company. The visa aligns with Spain’s commitment to supporting global business mobility.

Highly qualified professional work visa

The Highly Qualified Professional Work Visa is tailored for skilled professionals seeking to work in Spain in specialized roles. This visa is ideal for executives, managers, and professionals with advanced qualifications employed by Spanish companies or multinational corporations operating in Spain.


The HQP visa offers fast-tracked processing, the ability to bring family members, and permits both residence and work in Spain. Applicants must meet educational or experience-based criteria, secure a job offer for a qualifying position, and provide supporting documentation from their employer.

Residence card for family members of EU nationals

The Residence Card for Family Members of EU Nationals allows non-EU family members to live and work in Spain alongside their European Union citizen relatives. This permit is available for spouses, registered partners, dependent children, and other qualifying relatives of EU, EEA, or Swiss nationals residing in Spain.


Key benefits include the right to reside, work, and access social services in Spain under EU family reunification laws. Applicants must demonstrate their family relationship, provide proof of the EU citizen’s residence in Spain, and meet basic documentation requirements.

"Arraigo" Residency in Spain

If you have been living in Spain without legal residency, you may be eligible for an arraigo permit, a special residency authorization granted under specific circumstances. This option is available to individuals who have established strong social or family ties in Spain, have contributed to the workforce, or have Spanish relatives.


Arraigo offers a legal pathway to regularize your immigration status, allowing you to obtain a residence permit even if you initially entered or remained in Spain without the proper authorization. This process provides an opportunity to fully integrate into Spanish society, access employment legally, and benefit from social services.

NIE Number in Spain

The NIE (Número de Identidad de Extranjero) is a unique identification number required for foreigners conducting legal, financial, or professional activities in Spain. This essential document is needed for tasks such as opening a bank account, buying property, signing employment contracts, or registering with local authorities.


The NIE number does not grant residency but is needed for Spain’s legal and administrative systems. Applicants can obtain it through Spanish consulates abroad or at designated offices in Spain with the necessary documentation.
