Losing the job does not cancel the residence immediately, but you stop meeting a requirement: find another foreign company or clients and notify the UGE.
Routes to consider
The permit requires you to keep, throughout its validity, a relationship with a company or clients outside Spain and income of 200 % of the SMI. If you find another remote job or start working as a professional, notify the Large Companies Unit (UGE) with the new contract and proof of income. If you cannot keep meeting the requirements, we look at other permits in good time. Digital nomad permit renewal
