With the entry into force of the new Immigration Law in May 2025, the legal framework for obtaining residence and working as a self-employed person has been made more flexible, offering new opportunities for foreign self-employed workers. ✍️ 1. Legal Ways to Obtain Residence as a Self-Employed Worker There are three main ways to access legal residence in Spain as a self-employed worker: a) Residence through Integration for Self-Employment • Requires continuous residence in Spain for at least three years. • A viable business plan must be submitted, sufficient economic means demonstrated, and no criminal record. • Grants an initial one-year residence, renewable if the activity remains stable. b) Residence Permit for Entrepreneurs • No prior residence in Spain is required. • The project must be considered of economic interest, with technical and financial viability. • Ideal for innovative businesses or those with high economic impact. • Allows an initial two-year residence, renewable. c) Residence Authorization under the General Regime • Applicable to citizens of non-EU countries. • Requires a business plan, economic resources, licenses, and regulatory compliance. • Allows legal establishment without the need for an employer. 2. Economic Requirements and Documentation The 2025 reform has reduced economic requirements. For example: • Without dependents: demonstrate income equivalent to 50% of the IPREM. • With a family unit: 100% of the IPREM is required, plus an additional 25% for each extra member. Key documentation: • Valid passport. • Certificate of registration (empadronamiento). • Criminal record certificate. • Detailed business plan. • Proof of economic means. 3. Preparing the Business Plan A solid business plan is essential to obtain residence. It should include: a) Definition of the business model • Type of activity. • Target audience. • Revenue strategy. b) Market analysis • Direct and indirect competition. • Opportunities and threats. • Strategic positioning. c) Financial plan • Initial budget. • Income and expense projections. • Break-even point and expected profitability. d) Marketing strategy • Promotion channels. • Corporate image. • Customer acquisition and loyalty. e) Operational plan • Human and material resources. • Production or service delivery processes. • Short- and long-term goals. 4. Administrative Procedures The process includes: • Application using form EX-07. • In-person or online submission. • Payment of administrative fees. • Resolution within up to three months. • Registration with Social Security and Tax Authorities after approval. 5. Fiscal and Labor Aspects in 2025 a) Contribution based on actual income • Fees adjusted to 15 income brackets. • From €200 (income < €670/month) up to €590 (> €6,000/month). b) Mandatory electronic invoicing • Applicable to all commercial relationships. • Improves traceability and reduces tax fraud. c) Module regime • General limit: €250,000 annual turnover. • Limit for entrepreneurs/professionals: €125,000. d) Tax deductions • Energy efficiency works: up to 60%. • Electric vehicles: 15% of the cost. • Corporate tax reduction for micro-enterprises. 6. Compatibility with Employment The new regulation allows combining self-employment and salaried work. This provides greater labor flexibility and economic security for foreigners who wish to start a business without giving up paid employment. 7. Final Recommendations • Professional preparation: have specialized legal advice. • Complete and updated documentation. • Realistic and well-structured business plan. • Fiscal and accounting compliance from the start. ✨ ⚖️ Welcome to the Civil Online process offered by MCHM Lawyers.
