What income do I need for Spain's Digital Nomad Visa in 2026?

EUR 2,849 per month for the main applicant (200% of Spain's annual minimum wage), plus EUR 1,068/month for the first dependent and EUR 356/month for each additional one.

What income do I need for the Non-Lucrative Visa?

Approximately EUR 2,400 per month (EUR 28,800 per year, 400% of IPREM), plus roughly EUR 600/month per family member. The Non-Lucrative Visa does not allow working for Spanish companies.

How is foreign currency converted?

Spanish authorities convert at the European Central Bank rate on the day your file is processed, so a thin margin can disappear with exchange-rate movement. Documenting 5-10% above the threshold is the practical rule.

How the 2026 thresholds work

Digital Nomad Visa — for people who work remotely for companies or clients outside Spain. The bar is €2,849/month, which is 200% of Spain's minimum wage calculated on the annual SMI of €17,094 (RD 126/2026). Many sites still quote ~€2,442 using the old monthly base — that error gets applications rejected. Add €1,068/month for the first dependent and €356/month for each additional one.

Non-Lucrative Visa — for people living on passive income who will not work. The bar is 400% of IPREM, roughly €2,400/month (€28,800/year), plus about €600/month per family member. You cannot work for Spanish companies on this visa.

Currency matters more than people think. Spanish authorities convert your income at the European Central Bank rate on the day your file is processed — not today's rate. That is why the practical rule is to document 5–10% above the threshold rather than exactly at it.
