When can I file to renew my Digital Nomad residence permit?
You can file a Digital Nomad renewal in the 60 calendar days before your TIE expires, and for 90 days after it. On the national D visa you get the 60 days only. Enter your expiry date for your exact dates.

Questions about the filing window
Filing early, filing late, and the difference between a visa and a card.
Exactly 60 calendar days before the expiry date on your residence authorisation. The Ministry's own renewal sheet sets that window for Law 14/2013 permits. An application submitted before the window opens is not accepted, so the date matters.
Yes, for 90 calendar days. Article 76.3 of Law 14/2013 accepts a renewal filed in that period and keeps your authorisation valid until UGE decides. Filing late can open a separate penalty procedure, so use those 90 days only if you have to.
No. It is a first residence application, and you must file it in the 60 calendar days before the visa expires. There is no 90-day grace period here. Once the visa lapses you are no longer legally resident and this route closes.
No. Filing extends your current status until a decision is issued. The legal deadline for that decision is 20 working days, and silence counts in your favour — you can request a positive-silence certificate once the deadline has passed.
No. The general immigration regulation uses a window of 2 months before expiry and 3 months after. Law 14/2013 applications go to a separate unit under separate guidance, and the 60/90 pair is what applies there.
Calendar days. The 60-day and 90-day figures count every day, weekends and public holidays included. The 20-day decision deadline is the only figure on this page counted in working days.
Where these dates come from
The three provisions behind every date this tool produces.
The renewal window is the 60 calendar days before your authorisation expires.
Spanish original
«Plazo de solicitud: durante los sesenta días naturales previos a la fecha de expiración de la autorización.»
Application period: during the 60 calendar days prior to the authorisation's expiry date.
Filing keeps your authorisation valid until a decision, and a renewal filed within 90 days of expiry is still accepted.
Spanish original
«La presentación de la solicitud de renovación prorrogará la validez de la autorización hasta la resolución del procedimiento. También se prorrogará en el supuesto en que la solicitud se presentara en los noventa días posteriores a la finalización de la anterior autorización.»
Filing the renewal application extends the validity of the authorisation until the procedure is resolved. It is likewise extended where the application is filed within the 90 days following the expiry of the previous authorisation.
From the D visa you apply for residence in the 60 calendar days before the visa expires.
Spanish original
«En el plazo de sesenta días naturales antes de la expiración del visado, los teletrabajadores de carácter internacional que estén interesados en continuar residiendo en España podrán solicitar la autorización de residencia para trabajador a distancia internacional.»
Within the 60 calendar days before the visa expires, international teleworkers who wish to continue residing in Spain may apply for the international remote worker residence authorisation.
