If you are from the U.S. and an employee, or known as a W2 worker, the visa will NOT be approved unless your company has an office/ branch in Spain and pays social security directly 😉. In other words, you must be either a self-employed person and / or have your own company paying social security directly to Spain. Keep in mind that timing is critical for spanish taxes as you will NOT want to pay taxes for an entire year in Spain on ALL assets worldwide! Do not move to Spain and remain within the country for 183 days or more. Keep in mind, U.S. citizens have only 90 days when trying to move abroad to get approval for the DNV, and it may take 6 to 8 months for visa approval. By the way, you cannot exit Spain if visa is still being worked on w an extension. Very important, immigration lawyers are NOT tax experts in Spain!!!
Hi. How would someone convert from the nlv to digital nomad ?... given that you have to 3 months prior work to get the digital nomad, and working is not permitted under nlv
Hey sorry for the late reply! It is possible, I did another video with Marina where she explains that you could start work as a Digital Nomad towards the end of the NLV before changing visa type: th-cam.com/video/ODbElAS2wjc/w-d-xo.html. Hope this helps!
@@squarepeg4435 awesome, thanks for watching and good luck with your application!! What Marina was referring to there is that if a spouse wanted to be an autónomo then they could, but there’s no obligation to do that. They could also seek employment or not work as well as I understood it. Of course though the income requirements increase slightly for a second applicant. Marina will be able to clarify for you 😊
So just to clarify if you are successful at obtaining the digital nomad visa, straight away you need to register as an autonomo? Which will grant the public healthcare
This is what I understood yes, unless the social security convention between Spain and the applicant' shome country dictates otherwise with regards to access to the public system. Marina and the team in any case can clarify specific cases 😊
Very helpful video! If I'm self employed, does the end date of my contract matter? Let's say the contract length is 1 year but it ends 6 months from now. Does this affect the visa length?
@@bagadialnour it’s not actually specified on in the requirements. My guess is before tax (since minimum wage value is before tax) but best to ask Marina to be sure. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!
@@rustbackendengineering an applicant just need to be able to prove a clean criminal record (usually done through the authorities in their home country). Hope this helps!
Hey so, my employer has said I can work in another country if I wish (I am full time employed UK) What is confusing me is - when my UK payroll process my pay do I pay 2 lots of tax???
You should speak to a tax professional about this - normally no as Spain and the UK have a double taxation treaty but a tax expert will be able to explain the specifics. Hope this helps!
It's about €16k annually (€2.2k over 14 pay periods) at the time of writing this comment (source: La Moncloa). So a single applicant would need to be making around €32k annually. Each person on the application increases the total by about €7k if I'm not mistaken.
I am working on upwork from last 2 years .I have experience of 2 years .Everything else is according to their requirements .am I eligible to get this visa or having one year less experience will lead to rejection ?.please let me know
@@hummairaiqbal6132 Marina will be able to advise on the specifics of your situation, feel free to reach out to her: www.bureaucracy.es/millennialswithmoney. Best of luck!
Good question - officially I’m not sure but I spoke to someone who said that by having savings in the bank she believe it her application, so maybe the same applies with dividends. Hope this helps!
Definitely speak with a tax professional about this to understand the specifics of your situation, but my understanding is that is that you will pay tax based on your tax residency and any tax paid in the one country can offset tax paid in the other where applicable since Spain and the U.K. have a bilateral agreement. Hope this helps!

I will go with bureaucracy!
Awesome mate!! All the best and thanks for watching!!
They are awesome! I worked with them.
Is this visa possible for an ecomerce Shopify dropshipper?
@@Salvatoreluciano. I think you’d have to ask Marina and the team about that, I’m not 100% sure

To clarify: if I apply as DNV, my spouse doesn’t have to be autonomo?

Thanks for watching! Good question, one for Marina and her team as I'm not too sure about this one 🙂
when she said twice the minimum wage which is 2,650 is that after tax or before tax ?
@@bagadialnour it’s not actually specified on in the requirements. My guess is before tax (since minimum wage value is before tax) but best to ask Marina to be sure. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!
Does non US citizen needs a FBI background check

@@MillennialsWithMoney Amazing thank you 🙏🏼
What that digital nomad residency , how many days am I allowed outta Spain so it won’t get annulled ?
According to spanish government webpages the minimum wage for one person is not that high.
It's about €16k annually (€2.2k over 14 pay periods) at the time of writing this comment (source: La Moncloa). So a single applicant would need to be making around €32k annually. Each person on the application increases the total by about €7k if I'm not mistaken.

Can you use dividends for proof of income? If so how much history do you need?
Good question - officially I’m not sure but I spoke to someone who said that by having savings in the bank she believe it her application, so maybe the same applies with dividends. Hope this helps!
If I work 100% in the UK do Ibhave to pay tax on my earnings in the UK AND in Spain?
