Paying for your DNV to be processed is done through modelo or form 790 038.

You can download it on the official website of the Ministry of Inclusion, Social Security and Migration or access it online.

You can pay the fee either online if you have a digital certificate/Cl@ve system or at most Spanish banks, using your card or cash.

The first step is to complete this form with all your details such as name, last name and nationality.

Next you will see checkboxes with various descriptions next to them

For the digital nomad visa you will want to check box number 7 – solicitud de autorización de movilidad internacional or application for international mobility authorisation.

If this is your initial or first application you will check the first box – autorización de residencia inicial.

The second box is for those who are renewing their application.

Next you need to input the correct amount – Initial authorisations are €73.26 and renewals are currently €78.67.

If you are doing this online, the amount will be automatically generated for you.

You then check the box saying how you want to pay – forma de pago or payment method.

You have to choose between En efectivo – cash, adeudo en cuenta – debit from account or tarjeta de crédito o débito – credit or debit card.

CHOOSING HOW TO PAY THE FEE

At the bank in person 

Certain banks will allow you to pay in person before 11am. Be aware not all will have this option and they may argue you need to be a customer with them to offer you the service. You’ll need to take your form with you.

They will give you a receipt and NRC (Numero de referencia completo) reference number which is important for your application. 

At an ATM

Most of Spain’s big banks allow you to pay government fees, but if you prefer to do it at the ATM rather than with the teller, keep in mind that it’s usually only the more modern cajeros that include a full qwerty keyboard and a scanner to scan your document that can offer this service. 

Once you have located one, follow the following steps:

Choose your language and select ‘Access without card’

Select ‘Transactions without card’

Select Payments, followed by Bills, taxes and duties.

Click ‘With payment document’ and ‘By Form’. Choose ESTADO – A.E.A.T. – the Tax Agency

Insert the number of your form, then your NIE.

Next, input the amount €73.26 and choose payee name.

Here’s where you’ll fill in your name.

Then put in your cash or bank card, verify the details and click Accept.

Print your receipt to get your NRC (Numero de referencia completo), which you will need to prove you’ve paid.

Online

The easiest way to pay is online only if you have a digital certificate. You can start the process via the following link.

Identify yourself online then follow the prompts to fill out the form, the same as above for in person.

The form automatically generates the amount, then you can input bank or card details to pay.

Again you will receive an NRC code at the end that you have paid you will need this code in order to put on your application for the Visa

EXPLAINED: How Spain has found a way to officially axe its golden visa

After failing in its first attempt to pass legislation that would officially end the golden visa for wealthy foreigners, Spain's government has now found a loophole they believe will work to cancel the controversial scheme once and for all. 

EXPLAINED: How Spain has found a way to officially axe its golden visa

It’s been more than three months since Pedro Sánchez announced that his government would get rid of the golden visa for non-EU nationals, as part of plans to address the country’s housing crisis.

However, the left-wing Spanish government has been unable to find the parliamentary support needed for the scheme to be legally revoked. 

Spanish Housing Minister Isabel Rodríguez had initially planned to include an amendment in the country’s new land law, known as the Ley del Suelo in Spanish, but it was withdrawn from the agenda in Congress as it did not have the necessary support to move forward.

Since then, Rodríguez’s ministry has been looking for ways to ‘slip in’ or attach the golden visa amendment to another law which is likely to receive a majority vote from MPs.

In fact, there has not really been any criticism among Spain’s opposition parties with regard to ending the golden visa scheme since Sánchez first announced the move in April, but the Socialists’ weakened position in Congress is resulting in them having problems passing major laws, ones which the golden visa elimination could be attached to.

For example, on Wednesday July 23rd there was a so-called ‘supper session’ in the Spanish Congress with many legislative changes debated and voted on, and only a few of Sánchez’s proposals received the green light.

However, a new report by Spain’s leading daily El País suggests that the PSOE has now found a loophole that this time will work, they believe. 

Spain’s left-wing coalition government will reportedly take advantage of the processing of the organic law on judicial efficiency measures and consumer protection to introduce, via amendment, the elimination of the golden visa. 

The amendment also slips in giving communities of owners the right to decide whether or not to allow short-term tourism apartments in their residential buildings.

It’s not unusual for Spanish ministers to add an enmienda (amendment) to a bill that has nothing or little to do with the crux of the law being processed.

Only last May, Pedro Sánchez’s party added an amendment which eased the requirements for decrees to be approved into the Gender Parity Law, which focuses more on equal pay and work rights between men and women.

The other standout news from El País’ report, which has had access to the actual amendment text, are the government’s plans to scrap all the different types of golden visa options. 

Not just the €500,000 property purchase option as initially thought, all of them, including the investment options.

Spain’s ruling Socialists will present the golden visa amendment attached to the Judicial Efficiency Law in the Lower House on Wednesday July 24th.

Pressure has recently been growing within Spain’s government for the golden visa scheme to well and truly be cancelled.  

Only last week, an MP for Spain’s junior government partner Sumar urged Pedro Sánchez to “keep his word” and “urgently” repeal the golden visa scheme, 100 days after the PM made the initial announcement.

ANALYSIS: Is Spain’s decision to axe golden visa about housing or politics?
