Why Spain?
Spain is quickly becoming a top destination for digital nomads worldwide. With world-class infrastructure, Mediterranean weather, stunning landscapes, and affordable living costs (compared to other EU nations), it’s the perfect place to balance work and life.
The Spain Digital Nomad Visa allows you to experience all this legally and affordably.
Historical Background of Spain’s Digital Nomad Policy
The concept of digital nomadism started gaining global attention in the early 2010s, but Spain formalized it in 2022 through the Startup Law (“Ley de Startups”). The country aimed to position itself alongside Estonia, Portugal, and Croatia as a global hub for remote professionals.
Spain saw an opportunity to attract skilled workers who could contribute economically without taking jobs from locals. By 2023, several cities like Barcelona, Valencia, and Madrid started offering coworking spaces, networking events, and residency support to nomads.
With this move, Spain is now tapping into the growing digital workforce from South Asia, and Pakistan is one of the key emerging markets.
