Hmmm conflicting advice …..

Hi I am don't want to disagree with anyone so that is why I am writing privately.

I checked with my solicitor, who then added it to the emails they send out.

If you are working on the Internet for a company in England (not Spanish) you do not need a working visa.  The reason being you are not taking a job away from a Spanish residents.

You will of course have to submit a tax return on the money you earn to the Spanish system even though your earnings are in England.  Their tax year starts January and you will be liable for tax after six months.

Not sure on the fine details.  Especially where English tax ends.

Hope this gives you good for thought.

Welcome and good luck.

I suspect that you may have applied for the wrong visa (NLV?) if you're looking to work while in Spain.

Spain is in the process of introducing a "Digital Nomad" visa which would be more suitable to your plans.

I agree with Peter pan but even working on the Internet needs a visa. The digital nomad visa is still in process so not available yet.

In regard to Tax:

A double taxation arrangement (DTA) is a deal between two countries. It is not a European piece of legislation. Also after Brexit, the double taxation arrangement between Spain and the United Kingdom will remain in effect.

I would check with HMRC as to where you stand living abroad but still working for a UK company albeit remotely.

Have you got your residencia. If not you have to do that from the UK you cannot apply from Spain.

I think you might need professional advice.
