What documents are needed to apply for a Digital Nomad VISA at the Spanish Consulate in Moscow

😏First I will share my opinion I guess, thatIF IT IS POSSIBLE TO ENTRY BY SCHENGEN AND APPLY IMMEDIATELY FOR A RESIDENCE PERMIT, IT IS BETTER TO ENTER BY SCHENGEN AND APPLY FOR A RESIDENCE ON THE PLACE!)

🌞I think in Spain on the spot consider such visas more positively and faster than at the consulateI conclude because I had experience of communication with the Portuguese Consulate, which invented its own rules and its own decisions.

I even heard stories that people in Moscow were denied some visas, they came to the place to apply for a residence permit, it turned out that it had already been approved.

👉Here is such a gag, fears and rumors)) and now on business

In the case of a visa, it will be possible to enter and stay in Spain for up to 1 year, then only request a residence permit.

Only a residence permit counts towards permanent residence (that is, after 5 or 3 years, if the law is passed) it will be possible to obtain permanent residence, in the case of a visa it is +1 year.
