*Foreigners can live and work in Spain for 6 to 12 months without an official work visa*
It’ll take them that long to get a cita for an NIE lol.
It’s a good idea though for the government, they work here, pay taxes (6 months + means temporary tax residency), then fuck off and get nothing for them.
>Such a visa is expected to permit people to spend between six and 12 months living and working in Spain **without the right to residency**. In addition, applicants who meet the requirements are eligible to extend their visas for a specific period.
Assuming, this other article is not mistaken, am I correct in reading that that any time spent in Spain under the digital nomad visa wouldn’t count towards the 5 years needed before applying for permanent residency?

[From another article on the visa](https://www.schengenvisainfo.com/news/spain-to-create-digital-nomad-visa/), dated today (emphasis added):
