Spain added a visa for international remote workers in Ley 28/2022, its startups law. Holders may live in the country for up to a year while working for themselves or for employers anywhere, and foreigners already resident can apply for a permit of up to three years, renewable for two more.1

Local tip: For an afternoon on a laptop near Atocha, Scarlett Café on Plaza del Emperador Carlos V has Wi-Fi and stays open until 21:30 every day; ask before you work through the lunch rush at smaller cafés.

Laptop rules and the right of admission

Spanish lawyers disagree on how far a café may limit laptops. Ignacio Palomar of Servilegal told Genbeta in 2024 that a café sells consumption, not office space, so its right of admission covers a laptop rule if the rule is objective, non-discriminatory and posted for customers.3

Laura Sierra of Legálitas argued that the right of admission says nothing about working on a device and only bars arbitrary or discriminatory exclusion; a customer turned away could complain to consumer authorities. Francisco Trujillo of Universitat Jaume I added that cafés are not built to ergonomic or workplace standards.3

Wi-Fi between cafés

EMT, the city bus company, offers free Wi-Fi on its whole fleet and at its busiest stops.4 Its night buses, the búhos, run from 23:45 to 06:00, after El Telegrama and AlmaCheli have closed.5
