Are you ready to embark on your digital nomad journey in Spain but want to keep things simple and cost-effective? Our DIY Pay-As-You-Need (PAYN) Package is designed for independent go-getters who want to take charge of their Spanish Digital Nomad Visa application while having access to expert support when needed.

Step 1: Review the Required Documents

Before you jump into the process, take a moment to make sure you’ve got everything you need by checking out the full list of required documents for the Spanish Digital Nomad Visa.

Keep in mind that any documents that might expire or change (like a police report or marriage certificate, if it applies) need to be issued within 6 months of your application date.

A lot of these documents will also need an apostille. Plus, most of them will need to be sworn translated into Spanish.
