1) Why One Click?:
Spanish immigration law offers multiple pathways for non-EU citizens, including the Non-Lucrative Residence permit for those with financial independence , the Digital Nomad Visa for remote workers , the Self-Employed Visa for entrepreneurs , and permits for highly qualified professionals and researchers . Each has its own requirements:
- Non-Lucrative: 400% of the IPREM monthly (approx. €2,646/month for the main applicant) in financial resources, private health insurance, and no work activity in Spain.
- Digital Nomad: Remote work for foreign clients (max 20% Spanish income), proof of qualifications or experience, and sufficient financial means.
- Self-Employed: A viable business plan, proof of investment, and licences.
- Entrepreneurs (Law 14/2013): An innovative business project certified by ENISA.
For first-time applicants from abroad, the process always begins at a Spanish consulate in your home country . Once you have your visa and arrive in Spain, you must apply for your TIE (Foreigner Identity Card) within one month .
Choosing the right pathway is critical—applying through the wrong route is one of the most common reasons for refusal.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez described the measure as “an act of justice and a necessity,” emphasising that people already living and working in Spain should do so under equal conditions and pay taxes .
The reform is not just about regularisation—it represents a fundamental shift in Spain’s approach to immigration. With an ageing population and demographic challenges ahead, the government has recognised that new inflows of migrants are necessary for the economy and to support the social security system .
