Spain is a popular destination among many remote workers and digital nomads globally due to its amazing internet and affordable living costs. The country recently launched a digital nomad visa targeting to attract more remote workers to the nation.
The new remote worker’s visa will allow remote workers from European Union (EU) nations to work and live in Spain. Remote workers will be allowed to work and live in the country without facing any restrictions or bureaucracies linked to signing a Spanish social security.
Spain was among 17 countries that signed an agreement that allows remote workers to work in other EU nations as long as they have a social security number. The social security agreement was signed by 17 countries, and it is likely to benefit remote workers by allowing them to have security coverage when working in other EU nations.
The new agreement regarding social security was implemented on 1st July 2023 for countries that successfully signed the agreement on time before the set deadline. After 1st July, the agreement will take effect from the time that it was signed, but it won’t be applied retroactively.
The new social security agreement will allow EU remote workers to have freedom of movement to work and live in other EU nations. It’s essential to note that EU citizens will still have to file their taxes.
Member states of the European Union have been making a lot of effort to change social security rules for remote workers with the aim of promoting teleworking across EU nations.
Countries that signed the agreement: Belgium, Germany, Croatia, Liechtenstein, the Czech Republic, Austria, the Netherlands, Slovakia, Luxembourg, Finland, Norway, Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland, Poland, Malta, France, and Spain
The new remote work agreement will provide a lot of flexibility to remote workers who are looking to work in Spain and other EU nations. The agreement has a few challenges in its implementation especially owing to the many requirements involved; however, successful implementation of the agreement will allow cross-border remote workers to work and live freely across different EU nations.
