These are the answers of some Facebook group members:
”If filing an appeal, you can remain while it’s being prepared, up to one month after receiving negative resolution”
”I believe you can stay while they have your passport during the application process”
“Theoretically 15 days, but you won’t have a problem if you take a bit longer (they are not going to deport you or anything dramatic).”
In conclusion, according to Spainguru Facebook group members, the duration you can stay in Spain after a Spanish digital nomad visa application is rejected and while filing an appeal is one month. It’s advisable to consult with immigration experts and authorities for accurate information. Always follow the current laws and regulations to ensure compliance.
