Question about the Digital Nomad Spain Visa
Is working for my own LLC a valid proof of working freelance to apply for the Digital Nomad Spain Visa (DNV)?
Answers
These are the answers of some Facebook group members:
”You must have a contract with a third party. That can be you as an employee of your LLC. or you as a contractor offering and invoicing services to your LLC. However, if you are the sole owner with no other employees, that is considered self-employed and not a third party. The best approach would be to have a contract with yout partner LLC and use that contract to both apply for the visa.
