Spain Could Become the Next Country to Introduce Visas for Digital Nomads!
Would You Work Remotely from Spain if Given a Chance?

Details
Under this new digital nomad visa, remote workers from non-EU countries could stay working in Spain from six to twelve months, with a chance of 2 extensions, bringing your total stay up to three years.
The best part of this new visa is that it applies to all of Spain, which means you could get your pick from Barcelona, Madrid, Bilbao, or any city within the country.
Don't pack just yet, as this new law is still waiting for approval from the Spanish parliament, and we won't have a clear answer until maybe June or September of this year.
As in many other countries, Spain does not permit foreigners to work or stay within the country without the proper visa. Currently, foreigners can only stay in Spain for up to 90 days in any 180-day period.
This new visa is for non-EU nationals, such as Americans, working remotely for non-Spanish companies or freelancers earning less than 20% of their total incomes from Spanish clients.

Other Options
Another good option to consider is Spain's Non-Lucrative Visa, which allows you to stay in Spain for longer periods of time, but without being able to perform any professional duties within the country.
