Córdoba is affordable and well connected, and Spain has a dedicated visa for remote workers. This page covers the official rules, what internet costs and what to plan for in summer.
The digital nomad visa
Spain’s foreign ministry describes a residence visa for teleworking. According to the official page, it is for foreigners who will live in Spain while working remotely for a company or employer outside Spain, or who are self-employed. Applicants need a degree from a university, college or business school, or at least three years of experience in their field. The financial means must be at least 200% of the monthly Spanish national minimum wage, which the page illustrated using the 2024 minimum wage of €1,134 (figure for 2024; check the current minimum wage), and you need health insurance valid in Spain and a criminal record certificate. The visa is valid for a maximum of one year initially.
Rules, income thresholds and procedures change, so always check the official page of the Spanish consulate that serves your country, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, before you apply.
Internet and costs
Numbeo estimated unlimited broadband of 60 Mbps or more in Córdoba at about €27 per month (June 2026), and a one-bedroom apartment in the city centre at about €700 per month (June 2026). See our cost of living guide.
Summer heat
If you work from home in summer, air conditioning matters. See our guide to summer in Córdoba.
