How can I Become a Self-Employed Doctor in Spain?
Here we bring you the step-by-step process of everything you have to do to become a self-employed doctor (or "médico autónomo") in Spain if you are a non-EU citizen.
Homologation of your degree (recognized by the Ministerio de Educación) and homologation of your specialization (by the Ministerio de Sanidad). Then register in the College of Physicians of the province you live in.
Apply for a work permit whether from your country of residence or Spain (under a tourist visa). These can be a visa for self-employment or as a highly-qualified worker.
Obtain your Foreigner Identity Number (NIE) after you arrive in Spain and apply for the Foreigner Identity Card (TIE) by means of your work permit.
Apply for a work permit whether from your country of residence or Spain (under a tourist visa). These can be a visa for self-employment or as a highly-qualified worker.
Register as an autónomo, by registering in the Special Regime for Self-Employed Workers (RETA) of the Social Security, or the MEL(Médico Ejercicio Libre) by Mutual Médica. Simultaneously, register with the Tax Agency.
Additional Info to Keep in Mind
- As you will work on your own as a médico autónomo you do not need to retake a residency exam nor take the MIR to start practicing. You will only need to have your credentials accepted by Spain.
- You must be fluent in Spanish in order to practice medicine once your medical license has been recognized.
- During the first year since your registration as an autónomo, you can apply for a flat fee with Social Security, paying only €80 per month.
- As a self-employed doctor, you are not required to file taxes on a quarterly basis. However, you must comply with the submission of a withholding invoice (between 7 or 15%) to the Tax Agency in your annual Income Tax Return.

JodyD19/03/2024I'm really happy with the service provided. I appreciate the regular reminders to submit what is needed and the friendly and helpful service. Daniela Gonzalez has gone above and beyond to help me, such as finding ways to get receipts for tap and go payments for transport in London.Vanessa Jakubowski19/03/2024Please don't trust this company. They have made a big mistake with my taxes and I have lost the right to a flat rate which means I will be charged 3 x as much per month for being autonomo as I should be. Haven't responded at all to my complaint, no apology no justification nothing. Please use a legit Spanish company like Vilar & associates who are not trying to resolve this issue for me. Don't waste your money. *update* I have just found just found out I am in debt of over 3000 euros to the government because of this company's incompetence. I have contacted them with my complain but of course no response. Having just had a baby and on maternity leave until recently, now finding out I owe this and I paid this company to sort these issues for me but they have well and truly dropped me in the ***. will be taking legal action.Amy Granquist14/03/2024Louis was wonderful. He is very detailed and attentive. He answered all of our questions. We really appreciated the time he spent with us. Thanks Louis!!!!Nathaly13/03/2024Hoy tuvimos nuestra primera consulta informativa con Tatiana sobre impuestos y nos pareció buenísima. Entendió todas las dudas y respondió con claridad, base y al grano, tal que la llamada rindió y nos dejó muy buena impresión de esta gestoría.Being Virtual11/03/2024Mala la atención. Pague por una consulta de 1 hora con una abogada del equipo la cual me despachó a los 30 minutos. Me hizo seguimiento los días posteriores para que pague el trámite sin darme ningún tipo de pasos a seguir. No los contraten, no dejen sus trámites importantes en este tipo de personas.Eq11/03/2024PÉSIMO SERVICIO, TENGAN CUIDADO!!!!!!!!!!!! absténganse de utilizarlo. Poco profesional , los abogados están más interesados en cobrar el servicio más alto así no sea el indicado , ni posible . Ofrecen un 98% de éxito para cerrar la venta y a la hora de la verdad cuando es hora de entregar resultados se desaparecen. MUY POCO PROFESIONALES. Estoy segura que si hacen un poco de research encuentran un lugar mejor, funcionan como un software y no como un bufete de abogados responsables.Isabella Bernal11/03/2024POR FAVOR No los utilicen! Se van a arrepentir y sus procesos migratorios no saldrán bien. Es un muy mal servicio. En mi caso me ofrecieron un servicio que no era acorde an mis necesidades solo porque el valor era superior . Pedí un reembolso y no han sido capaces de reembolsar el dinero. Tampoco completaron el servicio.Ivan Rabotyga29/02/2024Very professional guys! Highly recommend! They are not only attentive, helpful, precise, knowledgeable, responsible and responsive, but also care about your expenses and can suggest you several options describing in great detail how you can do things yourself.Cathy Awatere23/02/2024Excellent service, easy to deal with, clear instructions and friendly staff. Would highly recommend. Very professional and trustworthyLinda Viksne22/02/2024Absolutely horrible. All they had to do was fill out a simple modelo 030, they took FOREVER and messed up 3 times and now the person is in a worse place than where he started. This is so shameful. AVOID!
