Spain Digital Nomad Visa Renewal
We help you renew your digital nomad residence permit while you keep working remotely from Spain. We check that you still meet the conditions and file your documents on time.
A Spain digital nomad visa renewal is simpler than the first application, but it is not a formality. The immigration office looks again at the essentials: are you still working remotely for a company or clients outside Spain, is your income high enough, and are your social security contributions and taxes paid. A renewal decision usually arrives within 20–30 days. If you file on time, you remain in the country legally while your application is reviewed.
Questions most often come up for people who changed employer, moved from employment to freelancing, or started working more with Spanish clients. These changes do not always stand in the way of a renewal, but they need to be shown correctly in your documents. We start by looking at your situation, then put together the file.

What to watch out for
- Income below the threshold over the last period is a common reason for questions
- Changing employer without a letter allowing remote work from Spain needs explaining
- Unpaid social security contributions or a missed tax return get in the way of renewal
- Filing at the last minute leaves little time to fix mistakes
FAQ
How much does it cost?
Our service fee is from $1,800. Government fees, translations, insurance and other mandatory costs are paid separately; we send the full estimate before you sign.
When should I apply for a Spain digital nomad visa renewal?
In advance, before your card expires. Filing in the last few days is formally possible but leaves no time to correct errors in your documents. We recommend starting preparation about two months ahead, especially if something has changed in your work or income.
How long is the renewal granted for?
A renewal gives you another two years and can be repeated as long as you meet the program conditions. After 5 years of legal residence you can apply for long-term residence. This time counts toward permanent residence and citizenship.
I changed employers. Is that a problem?
Not necessarily. Your new employer must also be based outside Spain and agree to you working remotely. It is important that there is no long gap in your income. We will present the change in your documents in a way that raises fewer questions.
Do I have to prove my income again?
Yes. The threshold is the same, 200% of the Spanish minimum wage, but the minimum wage itself goes up, and so does the requirement. If your family has grown, the amount needed grows too. We will calculate your threshold before filing and check your bank statements for the recent period.
What if I want to work for a Spanish company?
Then renewing as a digital nomad may not be the right fit, and it is better to switch to a residence permit that allows work in Spain. That is a separate procedure, and we handle it too. We will discuss which option works better in your case.
Is my family's status renewed together with mine?
Yes, family members renew their status together with the main applicant. You need their documents and proof that your income covers everyone. We file the applications at the same time so the card dates for the whole family stay in sync.
Do you guarantee the result?
No. Decisions are made by government agencies, consulates and banks. We are responsible for preparing and checking documents, filing and support, and we tell you about the risks upfront.
