Apply for Spain's Digital Nomad Visa yourself.
I’m Okan. I applied for the DNV on my own and now live in Madrid. The guide is based on the documents I prepared and the steps I followed.
When I applied, I could find the requirements but not a clear explanation of the order or what each document needed to show.
I wrote the guide to document what I did, from choosing where to apply to handling the first admin tasks after approval.
The process, in order.
The guide follows the application from choosing a route to preparing documents, submitting the file, and handling the steps after approval.
