Holders can opt into a reduced 24 percent flat tax on Spanish-source income up to 600 000 EUR for the first six years (the Beckham Law extension for nomads).
## Application
Apply from inside Spain on a tourist entry or from a Spanish consulate abroad. Approval typically arrives within 20 days for in-country applications.
## Family
Spouses and dependents can be included in the same application.
