Work remotely from Spain legally. The rules on income and contracts are strict — we match you with a specialist who handles exactly these cases.
Best for remote employees and freelancers with income from outside Spain.
You tell us your situation in the form above. We read it personally and reply within 24 hours. If a Personal Relocation Assessment ($129) is the right next step, we send a secure payment link and you receive a written review of your case against the UGE requirements. Then you decide: do it yourself, upgrade to a full Plan, or ask us to introduce a vetted English-speaking specialist. Specialists price their own work and you pay them directly, with no obligation to hire them.
Expats & Nomads is a relocation-planning service built for remote workers moving to Spain on the Digital Nomad Visa (DNV). A Spanish immigration lawyer handles the visa filing itself; Expats & Nomads plans everything around it and brings in vetted, licensed specialists for the regulated parts. The process starts with the Personal Relocation Assessment ($129): your facts — remote employment or freelance income, where your employer or clients are based, length of the working relationship, gross income against the UGE threshold (200% of the monthly SMI: €2,442 per month on 14 payments a year, i.e. €34,188 a year or €2,849 per month on 12 payments), family members and current immigration status — are compared with the published UGE requirements, and open questions are listed rather than assumed. A Standard or Complex Relocation Plan then sets the route (UGE application from inside Spain for a 3-year permit, or the consular visa), the document sequence, Social Security coverage, health insurance, Beckham Law tax planning, NIE/TIE appointments, housing and budget. When legal representation is needed, Expats & Nomads introduces you to a vetted Spanish immigration lawyer and, if relevant, a tax advisor; the specialists quote their own fees and there is no obligation to use them.
Expats & Nomads helps remote workers prepare a Spain Digital Nomad Visa application in two steps. Step one is the Personal Relocation Assessment ($129), a written review of your situation against the UGE requirements before you spend money on lawyers, apostilles or translations: gross income of at least 200% of the Spanish minimum wage (SMI) — €2,442 per month on 14 payments a year as Spanish consulates publish it, i.e. €34,188 a year or €2,849 per month if you are paid in 12 instalments — plus 75% of SMI for the first family member and 25% for each additional one; a working relationship of at least three months with a company that has existed for at least one year, or for freelancers with clients outside Spain (Spanish clients limited to 20% of activity); a university degree, professional training or three years of experience; Social Security coverage through your employer's registration with Spanish Social Security or a home-country certificate of coverage under a bilateral agreement; an apostilled criminal-record certificate with a sworn translation; and full private health insurance. You receive the review, a document checklist in the correct order and the open points to resolve. Step two: Expats & Nomads introduces you to a vetted Spanish immigration lawyer who reviews the file and submits it to the UGE (statutory decision period of 20 working days) or to the Spanish consulate. Expats & Nomads is not a law firm; legal representation is provided by its partner lawyers.

Complex Relocation Plan, $590 ($461 after the Assessment): everything in the Standard Plan, built for cases with your own business or company, income from more than one country, a family with children, or a property purchase. Ask An Expert, $49: one specific question answered by a vetted licensed professional within 24 hours. Lawyers, tax advisors and sworn translators are priced per case by the specialist, with no obligation to use them.
