Question about Spain Digital nomad visa
As an American applying for the Spain Digital nomad visa, I know obtaining a certificate from the US for social security is not possible currently. Is it possible to receive one from Spain?
Answers
These are the answers of some Facebook group members:
”Yes, it’s possible to receive one from Spain. Your employer would have to register in Spain as a non-resident entity and pay social security taxes”
“Here’s the Totalization Agreement between the United States and Spain. This agreement covers various aspects of social security for people who work (or have worked) in both countries. It explains what you must do for each certificate on this page.”
Conclusion
In conclusion, according to Spainguru Facebook group members, yes, an American can receive a social security certificate from Spain if their employer registers there as a non-resident entity and pays the required social security taxes.
