Work & business

Can I work remotely from Spain for a UK company?

Potentially, but the arrangement must satisfy immigration, tax, employment and social-security rules. A visitor stay does not create a general right to work, and a non-lucrative residence visa should not be assumed to permit remote employment. Spain has an international teleworking route for qualifying applicants, but both the worker and UK employer should assess their obligations before work begins in Spain.
