Non-EU foreign nationals may apply for a residence permit for international teleworking in order to carry out an employment or professional activity at a distance for companies located outside the national territory, through the exclusive use of computer, telematic and telecommunication means and systems.
In the case of exercising an employment activity, the holder of the authorisation for international teleworking may only work for companies located outside the national territory.
In the case of exercising a professional activity, the holder of the international teleworking authorisation will be allowed to work for a company located in Spain, provided that the percentage of such work does not exceed 20% of his/her total professional activity.
Requirements
Accreditation of being graduates or postgraduates from universities of recognised prestige, professional training and business schools of recognised prestige or with a minimum professional experience of three years.
Existence of real and continuous activity on the part of the company with which the applicant contracts.
Documentation accrediting that the work or professional relationship can be carried out remotely.
Accreditation that the employment or professional relationship between the applicant and the worker has existed for at least three months, as well as documents accrediting the terms and conditions of the remote activity.
Types of permits and duration
Visa: when the applicant is outside Spain, he/she will obtain a permit to reside and work throughout the national territory, if he/she so wishes. The duration of the permit is 1 year, unless the period of work is shorter, in which case the visa will have the same duration.
After the year has elapsed, you must apply for a residence authorisation.
Residence authorisation: when the applicant is legally in Spain, he/she will obtain a 3-year permit to reside and work throughout the national territory, if he/she wishes to do so.
