Question
Are they accepting crypto salary as proof of income for the Spain Digital Nomad Visa? My salary is paid in USDC, and it is all stored in a KYC’ed crypto exchange (Binance). Anyone managed to get approved with a similar situation?

“We always recommend our clients to withdraw it to a bank account.”
“Got it. Do you think it’s better to withdraw the values separating the minimum required in 3 months?” – “It’s generally a good idea to have a steady income trail rather than large, lump-sum transfers.”
Conclusion
According to the discussion in the group, using crypto as proof of income for the Spain digital nomad visa is possible but requires careful presentation. The income must be converted to fiat currency, ideally withdrawn to a bank account to provide a clear financial trail.
