Question 1

Do I need a NIE to rent or buy property in Catalonia as an entrepreneur?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you need a NIE (Numero de Identificacion de Extranjero) to sign contracts, open bank accounts, and conduct most legal transactions in Spain. At camiacasa we guide you through the NIE application process and can recommend trusted lawyers who specialise in this area.

Question 2

Which Catalan cities are best for entrepreneurs and freelancers?

Accepted Answer

Barcelona is the primary hub for startups and tech companies. For better value and quality of life: Sant Cugat del Valles (multinational headquarters, excellent schools), Sabadell (strong SME ecosystem, lower costs), Terrassa (manufacturing and tech), and Sitges (creative industries, international community). We help you choose based on your sector and budget.

Question 3

Can I use a residential property as my business address in Catalonia?

Accepted Answer

Catalonia offers diverse office solutions: traditional office leases (from 50m2 to large headquarters), coworking spaces (flexible monthly terms), serviced offices (all-inclusive), and industrial units for businesses needing warehouse or production space. We help you find the right fit for your business stage and budget.

Question 6

What is the digital nomad visa and can you help me apply?
