Hi, I’m Okan.

I’m a Senior Software Engineer from Türkiye, living in Spain on the Digital Nomad Visa.

I applied for the DNV myself. The process meant too many consulate pages, PDFs, forms, appointment systems, and conflicting answers. I built the guide I wanted then: one place for the order, documents, and setup.

What I do

I work in software and product, so turning Spanish admin into steps and checklists came naturally.

Outside work, I read, run, and cycle—often around Parque del Oeste.

Why Spain

I came for the cities, food, public life, and a rhythm that leaves room beyond work.

How the guide is researched

I separate first-hand experience from official requirements, link to controlling government sources, and update material changes when I identify them. The full approach—including corrections, commercial disclosures, and limitations—is in the editorial policy.
