Spain's 2027 nomad income is not published yet

News· · by NomadYou News

On 3 November 2026 The Local Spain asked how much you will need to earn for Spain's digital nomad visa in 2027. The answer on every official page we checked is the same: there is no 2027 figure yet. The visa is open; the means test still rides on the 2026 minimum wage.

What The Local printed

On 3 November 2026 The Local Spain ran How much will I need to earn to apply for Spain’s Digital Nomad Visa in 2027?. It correctly restates that the Unidad de Grandes Empresas ties the bar to 200% of the salario mínimo interprofesional (SMI). It then runs union and CPI scenarios for a 2027 rise and prints euro results for those scenarios. The piece itself says those amounts have not been confirmed.

That is a labour-forecast story, not a ministry notice and not a BOE change. Secondary arithmetic is not a new income floor.

What the consulate publishes today

Spain’s digital nomad (telework) visa is open. The foreign ministry’s own Washington sheet — Telework (Digital nomad) Visa — is the page that takes the file for that district. On financial means it says the minimum varies each year with Spain’s SMI, and it still names 2026 only:

There is no 2027 line on that page. The government’s ONE procedure page gives the same formula — 200% of the SMI, plus the family percentages — and likewise prints no fixed euro for 2027.

The SMI that exists in the BOE

The live minimum wage is Real Decreto 126/2026, de 18 de febrero, published in the BOE on 19 February 2026. Article 1 sets €1,221 a month; article 3 uses an annual floor of €17,094. Final provision three limits its effects to 1 January through 31 December 2026. A 2027 SMI needs another Real Decreto. As of this writing, none is in the BOE.

So the visa rule has not moved. When the SMI moves, the same 200% sentence produces a different euro result — the mechanism covered in The income bar that moves while you pack. Until that decree appears, any 2027 euro printed from a union ask or a CPI guess is a forecast, not the bar you file against.

We do not invent a 2027 figure The Local’s own article marks unconfirmed. The graded conversion for the live programme — and the known disagreement between consular €2,442 and the in-Spain €2,849 reading of the same 200% rule — sits on the Spain page.

Open now, 2027 not priced

Nothing on the Washington sheet is an announcement of a higher 2027 threshold. You can still apply under the 2026 SMI the page prints. From 1 September 2026, Washington hands the file in person at BLS by appointment only — covered in Spain’s telework visa — Washington goes through BLS. The visa itself runs at most one year; foreigners already legally in Spain can apply for a telework residence permit of up to three years to the Ministry of Inclusion’s Large Companies unit (UGE-CE) without a prior telework visa.

We will update this post when a Real Decreto fixes the 2027 SMI, or when Washington rewrites the means line. If you spot either first, tell us.

Everything above is taken from The Local Spain’s 3 November 2026 article, the Consular Section of the Embassy of Spain in Washington’s Telework (Digital nomad) Visa page, the ONE digital-nomad procedure page, and Real Decreto 126/2026 in the BOE, checked on 4 November 2026.

The row behind this

Every figure this post relies on lives on a country page with its source and its confidence grade beside it. That is where it gets corrected, and where it stays current after the post stops being news.
