What is an autonomo residence permit in Spain?
This type of residency is designed for foreign citizens who plan to work for themselves or open a business in Spain. It provides the opportunity to live and conduct business legally.
The initial investment amount and the required job creation under this program are not strict requirements and are assessed on a project-by-project basis.
ОСНОВНЫЕ ПРЕИМУЩЕСТВА:
1. The opportunity to work in Spain and provide services to local clients (unlike the Digital Nomad Residence Permit)
2. Lower income verification requirements for residency applications, which reduces the initial financial barriers for entrepreneurs. The tax burden depends on the actual income level and can be minimal at the initial stage.
3. After the residence permit is extended (usually after one year), restrictions on region and employment are lifted. The applicant is free to combine entrepreneurial activity with paid employment anywhere in Spain.
4. The applicant’s spouse, minor children, and financially dependent parents may also receive a residence permit. To include family members, it is necessary to provide documents confirming their relationship and financial dependence.
5. After 5 years of continuous residence with a residence permit, you can obtain permanent resident status (PR), and after 10 years, Spanish citizenship, subject to compliance with immigration requirements.
