Family Reunification 👨👩👧👦: Difference Between 🆚 Digital Nomad 💻✈️ and Non-profit Residency 🚫💰
By: Antonio Villena
FAMILY REUNIFICATION: DIGITAL NOMAD VS. NON-PROFIT RESIDENCY 👨👩👧👦
The difference between both procedures is huge: ⚖️
With the Digital Nomad residency 💻✨
• The family member gets approval in just 20 days. ⏳✅
• On day 21, due to administrative silence, it is automatically approved. 📅🤫✅
With the Non-profit residency (general regime) 📑
• You must have a long-term rental contract. 🏡📝
• A social worker must inspect the house and issue a report. 👷♂️🔍📄
• The file must be approved by Immigration. 🗂️🏢
• Afterwards, the family member must apply for a national visa at the consulate, which may request additional documentation 📑📌 or even reject the application ❌ even if Immigration has already approved it.
In conclusion: doing it under the Digital Nomad scheme greatly speeds up the process compared to the general regime. 🚀✅
That’s why choosing the right procedure can save time, complications, and possible rejections. ⏳🛡️👍
