Notes

Created by the 2023 Startups Law for remote workers employed or contracted outside Spain (no more than 20% of income from Spanish clients). Requires roughly €2,849/month — 200% of the Spanish minimum wage — with uplifts for dependants. The real draw is tax: holders can opt into the 'Beckham' regime, a flat 24% on Spanish-source employment income up to €600,000 for up to six years, instead of progressive rates. Initial permit up to 3 years, renewable.
