4) Regarding the relationship with the foreign company, it is
necessary to prove the existence of a real and continuous activity
for at least one year of the company or group of companies with
which the worker has a labor or professional relationship. In short,
it is essential that the company/s have been in operation for at least
1 year prior to your application.

Important note: contract with the same company for at least 1 year
(a longer period is recommended, for example at least 3 years, in
order to obtain an initial residence permit for maximum duration).

5) Proof of employment or professional relationship (as freelance)

for at least three months prior to the date of application with the
foreign company/companies with which you maintain such
relationship.

6) Documentation accrediting that the labor or professional

relationship can be carried out remotely. This could be proved with
a letter from the foreign company, authorizing the development of
the remote work from Spain, accrediting the profile of the position,
terms and other conditions under which the professional activity
will be carried out remotely.

7) Certificate of Social Security coverage (mandatory if there is an

agreement with the country of origin). If there is no coverage
agreement with the country where the company is located, the
company's registration with the Social Security and the
commitment to register the worker must be accredited.

8) Public or private health insurance. Travel insurance is not

accepted. In the case of private medical insurance, it must have full
coverage throughout Spain and the general conditions, particular
conditions and a certificate issued by the entity must be provided,
stating that it is in force and up to date with payment. All this must

Not necessary if there is no bilateral agreement with the country of
origin and it is therefore necessary to register with the Social
Security.

accredited by means of bank certificate demonstrating a minimum
amount (to be determined), but indicatively for security, it should
be at least approx. 28.000 € for the main applicant (and 7.000 € for
each additional family member).

it’s certified that you are the holder of a bank account, the number
of the account and the balance of the same. It is also recommended
to attach a statement of the last 3 months (also signed and stamped
by the bank). Electronic certificates are only accepted if they are
electronically signed with a digital signature recognized in Spain.
The certificate is valid for 30 days. In the case of being issued by
banks not located in Spain, the amount must be expressed in Euros
or converted to Euros and duly translated into Spanish.
