REQUIREMENTSWhat must be provedIncome, foreign-company activity, the work relationship, remote-work permission, qualifications or experience, social security and the general residence requirements all need their own evidence.
DOCUMENTSWhat must happen firstPublic foreign documents may need an Apostille or diplomatic legalisation and Spanish translation. The exact chain depends on the issuing country and document.

One Spanish application. Different document chains.
Spain applies one legal framework, but a public document issued abroad may reach the application through an Apostille or through diplomatic legalisation. The issuing country and document type decide the route.
01
Start with the issuing country
We check whether the Hague Apostille Convention applies or whether the document needs a diplomatic legalisation chain.
02
Make the evidence tell one story
Contracts, company records, invoices or payslips, bank evidence and remote-work terms should support the same relationship, dates and income position.
03
Translate the document Spain will receive
Foreign documents must be translated into Spanish, and public foreign documents must also meet the applicable legalisation requirement.
Common questions
The questions that usually decide the route.
Eligibility, income, family, work evidence and document legalisation are the points most applicants need clear before they start.
Yes. Applying from inside Spain is the UGE route, and it is a normal legal path, not a loophole. It targets a decision in 20 working days and administrative silence counts as approval, which is why it is usually faster than applying through a consulate. Which route suits you depends on your documents and your timing.
EUR 2,849 per month gross, the 2026 figure, set at 200 percent of the Spanish minimum wage. It rises if family come with you: add EUR 1,068.38 per month for a spouse and EUR 356.13 for each child. These are legal thresholds you must show, not fees you pay. The figure changes when the minimum wage is updated.
It depends on where they were issued. Bahrain, Oman, and Saudi Arabia are Hague Apostille countries. Kuwait, Qatar, and the UAE need MOFA attestation plus legalisation at the Spanish mission. We cover the full sequence, country by country, in our FAQ.
