Spain has seen a dramatic 50% increase in applications to reside and work in the country following the implementation of new immigration law regulations. The surge reflects growing interest in Spanish residency among expats, remote workers, and skilled migrants.
Spain offers several pathways to residency: the digital nomad visa (for remote workers), the entrepreneur visa (for business founders), the non-lucrative visa (for those with passive income), and employment-based residency. The new regulations have likely streamlined one or more of these processes or expanded eligibility.
