Last Updated on April 18, 2026 by Bruno Bianchi

Question

Spain Digital Nomad Visa question: If in the letter that I have my boss sign, is it okay if they state that they are willing to pay me over the qualifying amount for the foreseeable future even if before June they weren’t paying me that amount?

Does the letter that I have my boss sign need to be published through a specific program to qualify as valid?

These are the answers of Spainguru’s Facebook group members:

“I wouldn’t bet on it. If the difference between your current income and the financial threshold for the Spain Digital Nomad Visa is very small, you might be able to try to prove that you have savings that can supplement that income.

However, this is not the best route, since no official numbers have been established as to what percentage can be accredited through savings.”

“No, it only needs to state you have permission to work in Spain. No, just company letterhead and ink signed.”
