FAQ
Common questions
Do I need to be in Spain to start the process?
No. The entire initial process of consultation, roadmap, document review is handled remotely. You only need to be present for specific administrative steps like biometric appointments, which we coordinate in advance.
How long does the Digital Nomad Visa take?
Once your file is complete and submitted, the UGE (Unidad de Grandes Empresas) typically resolves applications within 20 working days. Preparation time varies by case complexity, usually 2–4 weeks.
What’s the difference between the DNV and the Non-Lucrative Visa?
The Digital Nomad Visa is for people who work remotely for non-Spanish clients or companies. The Non-Lucrative Visa is for people with passive income, savings or pensions who do not intend to work in Spain. Your eligibility depends on your income source and structure.
Do you work with companies, not just individuals?
Yes. We have a dedicated B2B service for companies moving talent to Spain or establishing a presence. Contact us directly at hello@mirallesberna.com to discuss your company’s needs.
What happens if my application is rejected?
We assess viability before submitting, if your case is unlikely to succeed, we tell you in the first consultation at no cost. If an application is rejected after submission, we review the grounds and advise on next steps, including appeals where appropriate.

Every process is built around your profile, your timeline, and your objective.”
