Relocation & immigration — Gran Canaria

Canary Islands

Gran Canaria combines a major remote-work hub in Las Palmas with beaches and the same favourable Canary tax regime. Reliable connectivity and a growing international community make settling in straightforward.

Las Palmas is one of Europe’s best-known nomad bases; we regularly set up Digital Nomad Visas and Canary-specific tax structures here.

Services in this city

Residency & Legal StayLas Palmas is one of Europe's longest-established remote-work bases, and the residency caseload at the Oficina de Extranjería de Las Palmas reflects it: Digital Nomad Visa holders and self-employed professionals rather than employer-sponsored arrivalsLearn more →Company Formation & BankingMost company formations in Las Palmas start from the same place: someone already earning online who needs to be properly registeredLearn more →Taxes & AccountingLas Palmas has one of Europe's densest concentrations of location-independent workers, and with it one of the most common tax mistakes: registering as autónomo on advice written for Madrid or BarcelonaLearn more →Turnkey RelocationLas Palmas is unusual among the destinations here in that it is a working city on an island, not a resortLearn more →Property Buyer’s AgentGran Canaria's purchase costs follow the Canary rules — IGIC on a new-build instead of mainland IVA, the regional transfer tax on a resale — so the first thing worth correcting is any budget built from a generic Spanish cost calculator.Learn more →Residency After the Golden VisaIn Las Palmas the answer to the Golden Visa's abolition is mostly the Digital Nomad Visa, because the population that would have used one largely qualifies for the otherLearn more →Translation & ApostilleLas Palmas generates a distinctive translation caseload because of who lives there: remote workers whose documents come from a wide range of countries, and whose paperwork is commercial as much as civil — client contracts, service agreements, invoices and income evidence rather than only birth certificates and diplomas.Learn more →Temporary Protection (Ukrainians)Gran Canaria applies through the Oficina de Extranjería de Las PalmasLearn more →
