You came to the Balearic Islands for a holiday… and then realised you might not want to leave.

What starts as a holiday can sometimes become the beginning of a new life in Spain. If you’re considering staying longer, moving to the Balearic Islands or making Spain your home, it’s important to understand which residency or immigration options may apply to you.

At NIE.CAT, we help individuals and families navigate the Spanish immigration process, from understanding your options to preparing your documentation and applications.

Thinking about making the Balearic Islands more than just a holiday destination?

Get in touch with NIE.CAT to find out how we can help.

Dreaming of living in Spain while keeping your remote career?

The Spanish Digital Nomad Visa allows eligible non-EU remote workers to live in Spain while continuing to work for companies or clients abroad.

To qualify, there are specific requirements you’ll need to meet, including income, remote-work history, professional qualifications, health insurance and supporting documentation.

NIE.CAT can help you understand whether you qualify and guide you through the application process from start to finish.

Ready to make Spain your home?

Real experiences. Real clients. Real results.

For many people, navigating Spanish residency and TIE procedures can feel complicated, time-consuming and stressful.

From preparing the correct documentation to accompanying clients to their appointments and assisting with communication in Spanish, our team is here to make the process as straightforward as possible.

Thank you to our clients for trusting NIE.CAT and for taking the time to share your experiences with us.

If you’re moving to Spain and need help with your TIE, residency or other immigration procedures, our team is here to help.

What is one thing you wish everyone knew before moving to Spain?
For Hazael Puentes Senan, it’s that moving to Spain is about much more than finding a place to live.
Finding the right visa is important, but having your paperwork prepared beforehand can save you so much stress.
Our Ask Our Team series gives you real advice from the people behind NIE.CAT.

Can you work for a Spanish company while on Spain’s Digital Nomad Visa?
Yes, but there are important conditions. The visa is primarily designed for remote work for companies or clients based outside Spain. If you are self-employed, you can work with Spanish companies, but this cannot exceed 20% of your total professional activity.
Not sure whether your work situation qualifies? NIE.CAT can help you understand the requirements and guide you through the process.

Starting work in Spain? Your Spanish Social Security Number (Número de la Seguridad Social) is one of the first and most important administrative steps you'll need.

If you're planning to work in Spain as an employee or self-employed (autónomo), obtaining a Social Security Number is a legal requirement. Without it, you cannot be registered with Spain's Social Security system or begin employment legally.

Why do you need one?
✔️ Start employment with a Spanish employer.
✔️ Register as self-employed (autónomo).
✔️ Pay social security contributions.
✔️ Access eligible social security benefits.
✔️ Build your contribution and employment record.

Benefits may include:
• Public healthcare.
• Sick leave benefits.
• Maternity and paternity benefits.
• Workplace accident protection.
• Unemployment benefits (where eligible).
• Future state pension entitlement.

Who needs one?
• Employees starting work in Spain.
• Self-employed professionals.
• People relocating for work.
• Applicants for certain work-related residence permits.

Remember, your NIE and Social Security Number are different. Your NIE is for identification and tax purposes, while your Social Security Number is linked to employment and social security.

Contact NIE.CAT today to get your Spanish Social Security Number.

Can I work in Spain with just an NIE?
This is one of the biggest misconceptions we come across.
An NIE is your foreigner's identification number—it is not a work permit.
To work legally in Spain, you'll generally need:
✔️ The appropriate immigration status or authorisation that allows you to work.
✔️ A Spanish Social Security Number.
Knowing the difference can save you time, stress, and unnecessary delays.
Not sure which option is right for you? Get in touch with our team—we're here to help.

Did you know international students in Spain have clearer pathways to employment after graduation?
Spain's updated immigration regulations have made it easier for many international students to combine their studies with work and, where eligible, transition to a residence permit after completing their course.
Understanding your options before your student authorisation expires is essential to ensuring a smooth transition and avoiding gaps in your legal status.
At NIE.CAT, we help students with:
Student visa applications
Renewals
Work authorisations
Post-study residence options
Immigration advice tailored to individual circumstances
If you're studying in Spain or planning to do so, our team is here to help you understand your options.
