The Spanish government has implemented the remote work visa (called the International Teleworking Visa) and related residence permit, and has adopted several changes to visas under the Entrepreneur’s Act.
International Teleworking Visa. This visa offers a one-year stay (with the possibility of renewal) with 10-business-day processing.
Prior to expiration, the foreign national can request an International Teleworking Residence Permit, which has a maximum validity of three years (with the possibility of renewal for another two years if all requirements are still met). This permit can also be requested in country.
This new category provides an immigration pathway for workers who (among other requirements):
Entrepreneur’s Act rule changes.
Most of these rules relax the immigration environment for applicants under the Entrepreneur’s Act, which is important during this time of labor shortages in Spain.
The related regulations will be clarified in the Large Companies Unit instruction notes – expected to be released by March 31, 2023.
This is one of the first regulations in Spain that addresses specific measures promoting investment, growth and development in the field of entrepreneurship in Spain since the Entrepreneurs Act, published in 2013. We expect further clarifications from the government by the end of March 2023 and will publish relevant updates.
