Spain Digital Nomad Visa for Iranian Applicants

Who is the route designed for?

Spain's international teleworker framework is intended for third-country nationals who perform employment or professional activity remotely through digital and telecommunications means, mainly for organisations outside Spain. A job title is not enough: contracts, duties, payments and the working arrangement should describe the same real activity.

Employee and freelancer files are different

An employee should be able to show a genuine relationship with a non-Spanish employer and permission to continue that work remotely from Spain. A self-employed professional should be able to evidence real clients, contracts, invoices, continuity and the permitted limits on activity for Spanish clients under the current rules.

Questions Iranian applicants should resolve early

• Where can the application lawfully be filed based on current residence?
• How will Iranian public documents be legalised or otherwise accepted by the receiving authority?
• Do contracts, company history, bank credits and tax records tell a consistent story?
• Which social-security and health-insurance arrangement applies?
• Are accompanying family members included and financially supported?

Do not translate everything before the file is mapped

First create a timeline of the company or professional activity, work relationship, payments and planned filing date. Confirm which documents need translation, legalisation or another form of authentication with the authority or qualified professional handling the current application channel.
