The Startups Act
has a lot of fine print.

The law opened up opportunities but also introduced specific requirements that vary depending on the applicant's profile. Poorly prepared documentation can mean months of delay.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions
about the Startup Visa and digital nomads

What is the Startup Visa and who can apply for it?
It is a fast-track residence authorisation under Law 14/2013, aimed at non-EU entrepreneurs who want to develop an innovative business activity of particular economic interest for Spain.
What requirements must the entrepreneurial project meet?
The business plan must demonstrate a strong technological component, potential for local job creation, a scalable model, and obtain a favourable viability report issued by ENISA.
What is the digital nomad visa?
It is a residence permit under Law 14/2013 for non-EU citizens who wish to live in Spain while working remotely for companies located outside Spain.
Can I bring my family with the Startup Visa or the digital nomad visa?
Yes, the law allows simultaneous or subsequent residence permit applications for your spouse or unmarried partner, minor children and dependent ascendants, with full residence and work rights.
How long does approval take?
The Large Business Unit (UGE) has a maximum of 20 working days to decide. If no express decision is issued within that period, administrative silence operates in the applicant's favour.
