This is great info. Although, it took us 8.5 months to complete the entire process! Therefore, we were not able to travel back to the States (90 days completely wiped out) or travel outside Spain during that time. Now, if you have kids, keep in mind that enrollment for school here in Spain ends in mid-July, yet it all depends on the public, semi private, or private school of choice. ***Warning*** ⚠️ Spains taxes may be paid in full upon becoming a tax-resident, and if you have more than 180 days in total. Keep in mind that if you sell your home, it may be taxed in Spain as "Beckham Law" does NOT include self-employed / contract DNV individuals! Lawyers DO NOT ADVISE ON 😢 YOUR tax bracket and how it WILL NOT BE 24%!!! A self-employed or contract individual pays higher taxes. IT may be 3 different taxes depending on region and providence in Spain. So make sure you get ALL the information pertaining to your specific circumstances. Finally, we love it here in Spain!

Awesome video! I have 3 questions that came up after watching it, which I would love if you could answer them: 1) Can you travel inside the Schengen Area in the first 90 days while your permit or TIE is processing? Like from Spain to Sweden or France. 2) Based on your video, it is implied that it takes longer than 90 days to get the TIE, does that mean you would end up being in Spain "illegaly"? 3) After the first 90 days, if you still don't have the TIE, can you travel inside Spain? Like from Madrid to Barcelona or something like that

You can travel as long as you still have some of your 90 days left. If you are over your 90 days while you are awaiting a response you need to stay within Spain but you will not be illegal as you have a processing visa. But yes you can move around in Spain after your 90 days while you are waiting for a response!

Very helpful video! If I'm self employed, does the end date of my contract matter? Let's say the contract length is 1 year but it ends 6 months from now. Does this affect the visa length?

Question: I have my own company in the USA - my company invoices client for my services. Do I have to go to every client and ask for their company corporate documents? Or do I just need to provide my own company corporate documents as proof of existence for one year?
@christinadavisnomadАй бұрын
If you have clients that you have continuous work with you can actually get the company documents from the state websites they are in. I was able to find all my clients documents on my own without bothering them since they are public documents!

@christinadavisnomad I heard the lawyer says your client company documents have to be appostiled? Is that necessary? If so how to get them apostiled without bothering the client.

@@farhanwarraich1392I didn’t have to get those apostilled but it may have changed now.

So many questions. I am a W2 full-time US employee. My company has agreed to allow me to work remotely from Spain. Is this not possible as a W2 employee? If I do have to switch to being a 1099 contractor with my company, can I still get the favorable Beckham tax rate? Thanks.

am i understanding that w2 employees can no longer apply even if the company is 100% remote? 😢

Yes sadly you can’t be a W2 employee, you must be 1099 / self employed

Can anyone explain how to pay taxes as a digital nomad? For example, if my boyfriend and I applied for a visa in April, received it in May/June, and moved to Spain in October. From what period should we start paying taxes? immediately after receiving the visa?
@christinadavisnomad5 ай бұрын
After 183 days in spain you become a tax resident for that year. if you moved in october then the following tax year you would be paying fully to spain. the year before is a bit tricky but you would file as non-tax resident

Is it ok if my work contract just says 100% remote? Or does it have to say I’m allowed to work remotely in Spain? Does the work authorization letter need to be different than my work contract that has the terms and $ value (rate) on it?
@christinadavisnomad6 ай бұрын
Your work contract just has to say you are 100% remote and then you need a separate authorization letter signed by your work allowing you to work from Spain. My lawyer drew up the letter for me to get signed

It's crazy how every source states a different list of requirements... The LA consulate says nothing about gathering all my clients' company registrations and getting those apostilled! That actually sounds like a major pain in the ass. Maybe it's meant to be? Might be a big deterrent for people who may be interested and successful but just not willing to rock the boat so much with their clients asking for copies of their personal business documents. It's just weird to ask.
