A digital nomad renewal for an autónomo was granted despite a gap of about a year and a half in social security registration. No additional documents were requested.
In one case, the renewal succeeded for an applicant whose gap between the relevant registration dates was about eighteen months. No requests were issued; the case went through administrative silence (silencio administrativo), followed by a formal positive decision. In another case, a renewal was approved automatically with a four-month gap.
Meanwhile, in other cases, similar or even shorter gaps led to requests and extinction.
Practical takeaway: positive decisions with long gaps exist, but they do not form a guaranteed practice. Gaps of similar length do not necessarily lead to the same consequences.
