In December of 2022 Spain released a digital nomad visa.

I moved to Spain under the visa in August of this year. Life is exactly what i hoped it would be out here and I couldn’t be happier.

I’ve been helping others make the move by providing visa info as well as other helpful advice and tips since march this year.

I did a similar post to this a while ago, but thought I’d give this Reddit community another chance to AMA relating to the visa and moving to Spain now I’ve been here a bit longer and now that the visa is even more better understood.

If you’re looking to move to spain and want to know more about the DNV, please, ask away.

    Your employer needs to fill in a CA3821 and at the same time you need to fill in a CA3822. Wait patiently then after about 14 weeks you’ll get an A1

      And with that, do you only pay regular tax in the UK (national insurance, income tax) or do you also pay an additional tax in Spain? I was under the impression that I wouldn’t pay anymore tax in Spain (on the first €600k) unless I did some work for Spanish companies or freelancing whilst there

        The A1 is basically a declaration you are liable to pay national insurance in the UK even if loving in Spain.

        You will need to pay income tax in Spain once you become tax resident. Income tax is a bit higher in Spain. There’s a dual taxation agreement so you won’t pay tax twice
