Frequently asked questions
What happens if the income is below the Digital Nomad Visa threshold?
The tool treats the shortfall as a blocker, not a minor document issue. A lawyer should review whether additional income evidence, a different family profile, another visa route, or a timing change is realistic.
Does this tool confirm Beckham Law eligibility?
No. It flags the tax timing issues that often sit next to Digital Nomad Visa planning. Beckham Law eligibility still depends on prior tax residence, work route, employer relationship, registration date, and filing.
Can freelancers use the Digital Nomad Visa and this checker?
Freelancers can use the screen, but mixed clients, Spanish source revenue, Social Security coverage, and contract history need careful review before filing.
Can Digital Nomad Visa applicants work for Spanish clients?
Employees should work for companies outside Spain. Self employed applicants may have Spain side professional activity only within the allowed limit, so Spanish client revenue should be reviewed before filing.
Why does Social Security coverage matter?
The visa file can require Spanish Social Security registration or a valid certificate of applicable legislation where an agreement allows coverage from another country. This is a filing issue, not just a tax issue.
