Spain Digital Nomad Visa for property buyers: work remotely, live on the Costa del Sol, flat 24% tax. Requirements, process, and how property complements it.
problem
Spain's Digital Nomad Visa (introduced by Law 28/2022) allows remote workers employed by non-Spanish companies to live and work legally in Spain. For property buyers, it offers a way to combine a Costa del Sol lifestyle with your career while building equity through property investment.
| Requirement | Detail |
|---|---|
| Employment | Remote work for non-Spanish company |
| Minimum income | ~€2,400/month (200% SMI) |
| Spanish income cap | Max 20% of total income from Spanish clients |
| Qualifications | University degree or 3+ years professional experience |
| Company relationship | At least 3 months with current employer, or 1 year as freelancer |
| Health insurance | Required |
| Criminal record | Clean (last 5 years) |
Digital Nomad Visa holders can opt into the special tax regime (Beckham Law):
| Feature | Beckham Law rate | Standard resident rate |
|---|---|---|
| Tax rate | Flat 24% | Progressive 19%-47% |
| Duration | First 4 years | Indefinite |
| Applicable to | Spanish-source income | Worldwide income |
For high earners, this flat 24% rate is significantly better than the progressive rates (up to 47%) that standard Spanish residents pay.
Buying property on the western Costa del Sol makes practical and financial sense for digital nomads:
A two bedroom apartment at Nylva Homes gives you a home office with sea views and Gibraltar on the horizon. The development's coworking space provides a change of scenery without leaving the building.
The common thread: you earn enough to qualify, your work doesn't require physical presence elsewhere, and you want a better quality of life.
