Spain · Remote Workers
Move to Spain while staying employed abroad.
Beckham Law, Digital Nomad Visa, autónomo or EOR. We map the right structure for your specific employer setup and income mix — before HR even hears about it.
What gets stuck
Where remote workers usually get tangled.
Employer mismatch
Your employer doesn't have a Spanish entity — getting paid legally, being treated as worker not contractor, and not exposing them to permanent establishment risk all collide.
Regime confusion
DNV vs Beckham Law vs autónomo, and no clear answer which fits. The right one depends on your salary mix, contract type, equity and time horizon — not a generic checklist.
Residency triggers early
The 183-day rule isn't the only test. Center of vital interests catches people off-guard months before they expected to be a tax resident.
Equity gets punished mid-vesting
RSUs, ESOP and stock options vest at Spanish ordinary income rates if you arrive without the right regime in place. Mid-vesting equity bleeds — sometimes 30–40% of the value.
How ApexTax handles it
Strategy, then execution — through people we trust.
Map employer options first
EOR through vetted providers, contractor structure, 183-day swing, or your own autónomo setup — we pick the one that doesn't force your HR to invent process.
Match regime to salary mix
We model Beckham vs ordinary tax against your real comp — cash, bonus, RSU vesting schedule, freelance side, partner income. Not assumptions.
Time the move
Mid-vesting equity, RSU lockups, tax-year cutoffs. The when changes the bill as much as the what. We sequence the move around it.
Hand off to vetted Spanish gestoría
Once the strategy is locked, you only deal with our pre-vetted Spanish tax + legal partner. No five-call telephone game between advisors.
