What is this visa about?

The digital nomad visa is a residence permit that can be extended up to 5 years and allows non-EU citizens to live and work remotely from Spain (that is, legally operating as a digital nomad in the country)

Why is this visa a great option?

Dual aplication process

Apply from Spain or from your home country.

3-year residency card

Apply from Spain (with a tourist visa) and receive a 3-year residence permit directly.

1-year entry visa option

Apply from your country (via Spanish consulate), enter Spain with a 1-year visa, and later modify it to a 3-year card.

More flexibility

Ideal whether you’re already in Europe or just planning your move.

Immigration Lawyer

I'd be glad to assist you in various types of residencies from Digital Nomad to Start Up and provide you legal, emotional and responsible support from planning of your relocation from any country to obtaining your resident card.

Can I get Spanish citizenship just because of my surname?

The short answer: no. It is not possible to obtain Spanish nationality solely on the basis of your surname.

Nor is it true that there is an official list published by the government containing surnames that will facilitate Spanish nationality.

As we will see later in this article, there are different ways to obtain Spanish nationality, some of them thanks to your ancestors, but none of them allow you to obtain nationality solely on the basis of having a specific surname.

Furthermore, there have been no recent changes in the laws governing the different procedures for obtaining nationality, so there is nothing new that currently makes this procedure easier.

Why is “Spanish citizenship by surname” such a common belief?

Who can actually get Spanish citizenship? (Real legal paths)

The short answer: no. It is not possible to obtain Spanish nationality solely on the basis of your surname.
