Digital Nomad Visa · from India
The Digital Nomad Visa, from India
The visa for working remotely from Spain — employed by a company outside Spain, or freelancing for clients abroad. Up to three years on the residence permit, family included, with a path that keeps renewing.
Our service fee covers case management, document review, and included sworn translations only — apostille, government and consular fees are separate and paid directly by the client to the relevant authority or provider.
The DNV, In Numbers
Government thresholds, updated yearly — your case manager confirms the current figures before anything is filed.
You'll keep working remotely for employers or clients outside Spain. Indian applicants usually evidence income with contracts, invoices, bank statements and ITRs.
Is this your route?
- You're employed by a company outside Spain that lets you work remotely
- You freelance or run an online business with clients mostly outside Spain
- You've been with that employer or those clients for at least three months
- You can document the income — contracts, invoices, payslips, tax records — not just show a bank balance
What goes in the file
- Contracts and proof of three months' working history with your employer or clients
- Income evidence that clears the threshold, with the currency story documented
- A criminal record certificate — the country-specific part below
- Social security coverage — a certificate of coverage or Spanish registration, depending on your setup
- Degree or three years' professional experience in your field
The India Part of the File
Whichever visa you pick, these are the documents and rules that are specific to applying from India — and where files usually go wrong.
-
Your criminal record is the PCC from Passport Seva
Spain wants the Police Clearance Certificate issued through Passport Seva by your Regional Passport Office — not a letter from the local police station — apostilled by the MEA, with the apostille on the certificate itself.
-
Apostilles come from the MEA, and some documents need a step first
India has been in the Apostille Convention since 2005. Personal documents are apostilled by the MEA; educational documents usually need state-level attestation before the MEA will apostille them, which is where most timelines slip.
-
The sworn translation must include the apostille
Every word of the document and of the apostille. English originals still need sworn Spanish translations, and they are included in our service fee.
-
Certificates are ordered fresh
Birth and marriage certificates from the municipal authority, recently issued. If a birth was never registered, the non-availability certificate and affidavit route works — but it takes time, so it goes first.
-
Your mission is decided by where you live
The Embassy in New Delhi and the Consulate General in Mumbai split India between them, with BLS centres in the major cities handling intake. The table below shows the map.
Where You File
The two Spanish missions in India and who files where — intake runs through BLS centres in the major cities. Your case manager confirms the current requirements for yours before anything is filed.
| Mission | Covers | Appointment | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Embassy, New Delhi | Northern and eastern India | Via BLS | The bigger jurisdiction by volume — book early |
| Consulate General, Mumbai | Western and southern India | Via BLS | Strict on document freshness and translation completeness |
Missions change their requirements without notice. Treat this as orientation, not a checklist: the checklist your case manager builds is for your mission, your visa and your household.
