What Americans need
Your full document list depends on your nationality and consulate — we prepare it for you.

Plan your taxes before you move
US citizens keep filing US returns on worldwide income, and more than 183 days in Spain usually makes you a Spanish tax resident. Many digital nomads can opt into the Beckham Law regime. Read our tax guide for Americans in Spain.

Digital Nomad Visa for Americans: common questions
Can a US citizen apply for Spain's Digital Nomad Visa from inside Spain?
Yes. Americans enter Spain visa-free, so they can apply to the UGE from Spain within their 90-day legal stay. Filing extends that stay while the application is decided.
How much income do I need as an American?
About €2,849 per month (200% of Spain's 2026 minimum wage), plus about €1,068/month for the first family member and €356/month for each additional one.
Can I get Spanish citizenship with a Digital Nomad Visa?
The time counts as legal residence. US citizens need 10 years of legal residence for Spanish nationality in most cases.
