Question

Once you’ve submitted your Digital Nomad Visa Spain application, has anyone had the Spanish authorities contact your employer (or main contract for those self-employed) to verify the letters of approval?

Answers

These are the answers of some Facebook group members:

”My letters encourage them to do so (in English though)”

”I doubt the functionaries (or funcionarios) processing visas even speak English so don’t worry about that, but you can “invite” them to do so”

In conclusion, the members of Spainguru’s Facebook group generally believe that the authorities may not actually reach out to the employers or main contractors for verification purposes. They encourage the Spanish authorities to contact their employers or main contractors to verify the letters of approval in their Digital Nomad Visa Spain applications. They suggest writing the letters in English, even though the visa processing civil servants may not speak English. However, it is generally believed that the authorities may not actually contact the employers or main contractors for verification purposes.
