Yes, look through the posts on this group and you’ll see lots of consultants and law firms offering their services. 3. No, entry stamps or in your case, police station entrance certificates, are required for all (I think). 4. Just tell your company what details to include, it’s quite straightforward”
”Your wife can come to Spain on a tourist visa after your Digital Nomad Visa Spain is approved and she can be added as a dependent. Just get all your paperwork in order first, then come to Spain”
”Point 4. It might be helpful to say which country your employer/company is based in if you are an employee. Because for some countries it is very difficult as an employee. Much easier if you are a self-employed/contractor”
Conclusion
According to insights from the Spainguru Facebook group, the city where you apply does not affect the Digital Nomad Visa Spain processing time, because the application is handled online by the national body UGE.
Many consultants and law firms in Spain can manage the full visa process — document preparation, sworn translations, and submissions. If you need help, here you can find immigration experts to assist you.
If applying from within Spain, remember that entry stamps or police “entry certificates” are usually required for all applicants.
For the employer letter required in your application, you can find an Employer’s letter sample here. Be sure to adjust the template depending on your situation (employee vs. contractor), and consider noting your employer’s country of origin when relevant.
Finally, once your own Digital Nomad Visa Spain is approved, your spouse can join you as a dependent, typically after entering Spain on a tourist visa — as long as your documentation is complete and compliant.
