Digital nomad is a person who works online while traveling the world. Most people see a digital nomad as someone who works on their laptop in some nice place to live.
Becoming a digital nomad is all about creating the perfect work-life balance. The part of life is adding more adventure, fun, excitement and satisfaction to your days. Digital nomads can do this by exploring new countries, experiencing new cultures, and meeting unique people from around the world.
In November 2022, the Spanish parliament approved the special digital nomad visa and fiscal regime for startups via a new law to come into effect in January 2023. The proposed legislation aims to open Spain up to new talent in all walks of the economy.
The business community in Spain and abroad has welcomed the news, which has been particularly well-received among remote workers. Under the new law, these so-called digital nomads would find it much easier to live and work in Spain.
With some of the best internet speeds in the EU, a low cost of living and plenty of warm weather, Spain is already a popular destination for remote workers.
How to be a digital nomad?
1. Work as a freelance, selling your knowledge and services to other companies remotely.
2. Create your own company, developing a project that is feasible to develop from anywhere in the world.
3. Work for someone else in a company that allows remote working.
What can you expect?
The main advantages of this new visa for remote workers are the following:
• Allows you to live up to 3 years in Spain.
• Does not present risk of rejection.
• It will allow the return of companies and citizens of the United Kingdom.
• Allows numerous tax benefits to companies.
Mistakes to avoid
The biggest mistake you can make is not being prepared for a nomadic life:
- Before you quit your 9 to 5 job and pack your bags, you need to make sure you can do this. In your dreams, a nomadic lifestyle is perfect for you. Everything seems to be sunshine and happiness. But all digital nomads eventually face the exhaustion and loneliness of the nomadic lifestyle. It is a different way of life. But it is not the cure for all your problems. You will have some amazing moments, but you will also have some unpleasant moments. It’s all part of the digital nomad package.
- Having some money saved, the ideal will be to have saved at least the cost of basic expenses for emergencies. The cost will vary depending on the country you plan to stay in, Spain is a fantastic country for the cost of living.
- You should do a test before making the decision. Take a week or two vacation from your 9 to 5 routine. During this vacation, you must travel to a new place. However, unlike a normal vacation where you usually just relax, this vacation will require you to work a couple of hours a day.
- Join Social Groups: Digital nomads often experience loneliness. Avoid this by signing up for digital nomad Facebook groups, meetups, and coworking spaces. You can also join local digital nomad groups in your area to learn more about the nomadic lifestyle of digital nomads in your community.
