Question
Has anyone had a consulate say that one must be retired or have stopped working when applying for a non lucrative Spain visa? I assumed that since one has 90 days to enter after visa approval, one could stop working at anytime before entering Spain?
Here is the Miami consulate’s response:
«Debe acreditar cumplir con todos los requisitos en el momento de presentación de la solicitud del visado. (You must prove that you meet all the requirements at the time of submitting the visa application»
Does anyone have any insight or experience with this?

These are the answers of some Facebook group members:
“You have to submit a letter from your employer stating a termination date at the same time you submit all the other documentation.”
“A termination letter will do? Some people say you need p45. Termination letter would be so much easier allowing us both to work until closer to a visa decision. Where p45 we will have to finish before we even make an appointment (We will be Manchester Consulate)” (Answer: “I live in the USA and we don’t have a P45. It also might depend on the consulate.”)
“Chicago required a notarized letter from my employer and that I also create a notarized document stating I won’t work there.”
