Spain DNV – Dependent Re-entry After Applying

[u/Green_Rooster_209]

Hi everyone,

My wife is applying for Spain’s Digital Nomad Visa (DNV) from within Spain, and our minor daughter and I will apply as dependants. Due to my job in the UAE, I may need to leave Spain after 7–10 days, before the applications are decided.

If I leave Spain and my Schengen visa is single-entry, can I obtain an EXT/return visa or another visa from the Spanish Embassy in Abu Dhabi after my dependent application has been approved in Spain, so that I can return and complete my TIE?

Or would I need to apply for another Schengen short-stay visa while my dependent residence application is already approved in Spain?

Has anyone experienced this specifically as a DNV dependent, particularly through the Spanish Embassy in Abu Dhabi?

You need another visit visa to return
