Digital Nomads - Deciphering Employment Laws in Spain and Germany

The Innangard Podcast

Since the health crisis of 2020, the world has witnessed teleworking becoming popular among employers. However, even after health restrictions have been lifted, we are seeing that teleworking is here to stay and it has become a permanent option for employees. What is more, it plays an important role in attracting and retaining talent. This new reality represents challenges from a legal point of view which will be addressed in this podcast, specifically from the German and Spanish perspective. Chaired by Erica Paratore (Augusta Abogados - Spain) and with contributions from Omar Molina (Augusta Abogados - Spain), and Gizem Erdogan (Seitz - Germany) the panel explain what is meant by "digital nomad," the types that exist, the requirements for obtaining a work visa, how long they can be authorized, and the reasons why many workers choose this type of service provision. All of the above discussed in relation to the legislation in Spain and Germany. www.innangard.global
