I Figured Out Spain's Digital Nomad Visa — Without a Lawyer
After 2+ years as a nomad, I was done with tourist visas and border math. I wanted a real base in Europe. Spain was the play — the culture, the weather, the Schengen access.
But when I started researching the Digital Nomad Visa, I hit a wall. Reddit threads were stale, government links were broken, and the only advice was "just hire a lawyer." Lawyers wanted €2,000+ for paperwork I could learn to do myself.
So I reverse-engineered the process. I decoded the UGE portal, figured out exactly which documents need apostilles, and got approved — €0 in lawyer fees.
Now I'm open-sourcing my system. This playbook is the documentation I wish existed when I started.

I Turned My Weak Passport
Into a Cheat Code
I didn't have privilege or connections. I had research, systems-thinking, and stubbornness. I documented everything so you can skip the years of trial and error.
Lived Experience
I held a passport that felt like a cage. I've lived the process — the rejections, the bureaucracy, the wins. This isn't advice from a textbook.
Personalized Approach
Your situation is unique — your passport, income structure, and goals all matter. There's no one-size-fits-all. I tailor the strategy to you.
Clear Roadmaps
I break complex processes into clear, numbered steps. Think of it as documentation for your life's next deployment.
Ongoing Support
Visa approved ≠ mission complete. I stick around for the post-arrival chaos — NIE, empadronamiento, bank accounts, all of it.

Questions?
I've Got Answers
The questions I get asked the most — answered straight, no jargon.
A digital nomad visa is a special residence permit that allows remote workers, freelancers, and entrepreneurs to legally live and work in a foreign country while working for clients or employers outside that country.
Processing times vary by country, ranging from 2 weeks to 4 months. Portugal's D7 visa typically takes 2-3 months, while Spain's digital nomad visa takes around 20 business days.
Income requirements vary significantly. Portugal requires ~€3,040/month, Spain ~€2,646/month. Some countries also accept proof of savings instead of regular income.
Yes! Most digital nomad visa programs allow you to include dependents such as spouses and children. Requirements vary, and additional income proof is usually needed.
While my 95% success rate speaks for itself, if your application is rejected, I'll analyze the reasons and guide you through the appeal process at no additional cost.
Tax obligations vary. Some countries like Portugal offer favorable tax regimes (NHR), while others exempt nomads from local tax. I include basic tax advisory in my plans.
