FAQ

We answer common questions before you book

Can I apply for the Spain digital nomad visa from the Philippines?

Yes. We first review your profile, income and documents to see whether the route makes sense before you book or file.

What documents do Filipinos usually need?

Usually a passport, apostilled NBI, proof of remote work, sworn translations and private health insurance, though the exact list can vary.

Does it work for freelancers and remote employees?

Yes, as long as the documents show stable remote activity and continuity of income.

Does this visa lead to Spanish nationality?

It can be part of a longer residence path, but it does not grant nationality directly. Spanish nationality depends on the legal residence period and the rest of the legal requirements.
