    Thanks, Marina said on this visa youd need to stay in Spain for 10 years to get oernanet citizenship and a passport, if youre form the US. Do you know if its the same for UK citizens?

    • @DaysWeSpend
      @DaysWeSpend  7 місяців тому

      Sorry, we aren't sure it's the same for UK citizens, but we'd imagine it is. This is a Spain requirement, not a USA requirement (as far as we know).

    Im a full-time employee for a company and allowed to work remotely from Spain if I choose to. However, im not a "contractor" for this company. I read somewhere that you have to be a contractor, not a full-time employee. True?

    • @DaysWeSpend
      @DaysWeSpend  11 місяців тому +2

      From what we've heard it's complicated. Even though you can work anywhere, you might need more paperwork or qualifications to work in Spain. I'd book a call with Marina at Bureaucracy.es to see if your specific work situation qualifies.

      You become tax resident (means you need to pay taxes) if you spend 183 or more days in Spain from what I have read in the internet, before that you don't pay taxes I think because you are looked like you are on vacation . But I am not 100% sure

    Hello! Thank you for the excellent videos! We are retired educators interested in exploring Spain. Since I am retired from teaching but still teach a few online courses each semester, I am looking at both the Digital Nomad Visa and the Non-Lucrative Visa. Which path would you recommend? DNV or the NLV for Spain? Gracias!! Dean & Cindy

    • @DaysWeSpend
      @DaysWeSpend  10 місяців тому +1

      You probably qualify for both. The DNV has a very high minimum payment but your retirement stipend may help tip the scales. If your teaching is minimal and doesn't pay very much, the NLV could work. We recommend chatting with Marina. She can help you pick the right visa. Thanks for watching!

    just a small question:
    i am right now in Latvia on a student visa. my course will end next year march 15, 2025. i want to move to spain on work visa (but i am not sure if i can get a job there)
    the company that i am working right now has a different branch that offers remote working (it is based in the US), the salary is not fixed and it is commission based (basically its a sales job). am i still eligible for digital nomad visa?
    thank u :)

    U.S. and Spain have already worked out a Totalization Agreement to address social security tax issues for individuals working between the two countries. This agreement helps prevent double taxation on social security contributions and ensures that workers are only required to pay into one country’s system at a time.
    Under this agreement:
    • Temporary Assignments: If an employee is temporarily sent to Spain for less than five years, they can continue paying into the U.S. Social Security system, and Spain will exempt them from its contributions.
    • Permanent Assignments: For longer stays or permanent relocations, employees may need to contribute to Spain’s social security system instead of the U.S., depending on their employment arrangement and visa status.
    This agreement simplifies social security issues, ensuring that U.S. citizens working remotely from Spain, such as those on a digital nomad visa, are covered by only one social security system, avoiding double payments .
    Would you please confirm if this information is correct and will it be applicable to USA w-2 employees who want to work remotely from Spain?

    Wait. So you have to be an independent contractor? What if you’re a full time permanent employee that works remotely? Also, you have to have 85 IN SAVINGS alone to get approved? Did I hear that correctly?

    • @DaysWeSpend
      @DaysWeSpend  10 місяців тому +1

      You can be a full time permanent remote employee, it's just a much more complicated application. You don't need the savings, that's an aspect of the application, but not necessary. We recommend talking with Marina. She knows all the things about this visa.

      It depends on your current country of employment. If you are in the UK, applying as an employee is very doable (assuming your employer is ok with it...). If you are in the US, applying as an employee is a lot harder. It means that your employer would need to register to pay social security for you in Spain, which is costly

I’m sure if you reach out again they can meet with you. But thanks for sharing your experience. It’s good for people to know that nobody is perfect. Hope you find someone to help you with your visa.
