A Schengen visa and a Spanish Digital Nomad residence permit are completely different documents. If your goal is short-term trips to Europe once or twice a year, then of course a Schengen visa will be enough.
A fairer comparison would be with Golden visas, residence permits for investments in Greece, Portugal and Malta. In terms of rights and opportunities, a Spanish Digital Nomad residence permit gives even more than Golden visas:
- Right of residence
- Right to work and study
- Possibility to open accounts in Spain and conduct business in Europe
- Preferential taxation for new residents
- Possibility to obtain permanent residence or citizenship after 5 years
At the same time, like golden visas, it does not require permanent presence in Spain
A Spanish Digital Nomad residence permit is issued faster and costs significantly less than a Golden visa.
At the same time, the applicant and family receive not only freedom of movement, but also a backup airfield, opportunities for children to study and work, freedom of choice and development of international business strategies.

Knowledge of Spanish is not a prerequisite for obtaining a digital nomad residence permit.

There are 2 options for applying:
1. At the Spanish Embassy in my country of citizenship. In this case, the processing period can be up to 9 months, and the residence permit will only be issued for 1 year.
2. Submitting documents on the territory of Spain. When applying on the territory of Spain, the residence permit is issued immediately for 3 years. The applicant and family members are required to make 3 trips of 2-3 days: to submit documents for a residence permit, 20 days after approval to give fingerprints and to receive the residence permit cards themselves.

Most of the application process can be done remotely, but you will still need to come to Spain to submit biometric data (fingerprints and photography).

This is an important requirement for everyone who applies for a Spanish Digital Nomad residence permit.
