These are the answers of some Facebook group members:
”No, I´m sorry. In theory you can use other income too, but in a webinar earlier this month the UGE mentioned that this is only allowed for small amounts, to make up the minimum income required, which is 2.520 euros/month for a single person”
”No. And you couldn’t possibly live on that small amount either”
”There are people in Spain who live off this amount, for sure. Unfortunately, this is not enough to qualify for the DN visa. Spain’s purpose for offering this visa is to financially benefit from the taxes the DN person brings in and the spending a person will do the country. They have an amount that they feel makes it worth having foreigners as residents and that amount is a little than double what you listed”
Conclusion
So in conclusion, according to Spainguru Facebook group members, It seems that for the Spanish digital nomad visa, the minimum required income stands at 2,520 euros per month for a single person. While some individuals do manage to live in Spain on lower amounts, this income range wouldn’t qualify for the visa. Spain aims to attract residents who contribute significantly to the economy through taxes and spending, thus setting a minimum threshold to ensure financial benefit for the country.
