A case was reported where extinction of a digital nomad permit was raised after a positive renewal decision. The cause was a three-month delay between the initial approval and registration with social security.

About three months passed between approval of the initial permit and the applicant’s registration with the Spanish social security system. Despite the later renewal approval, the question of extinction arose because of the late registration.

Practical takeaway: a positive renewal does not rule out a later review of compliance with the initial permit. Check social security registration dates separately from the status of your current residence card.
