In one renewal of a digital nomad permit for an autónomo, a positive decision arrived 23 days after filing, with no request for additional documents.
The application was filed on 30 September 2026 and approved on 23 October — 23 calendar days. Several positive renewals for employed digital nomads without additional requests were also reported.
Practical takeaway: some renewals are decided in under a month. Such timelines should not, however, be treated as standard or guaranteed.
