The applicant provides IT services to a Russian company as a sole proprietor.
Challenges arose when the contract was restructured from employment to a sole proprietorship, leaving the applicant’s collaboration with the company just shy of three months at the time of application. Waiting to reach the three-month mark was not an option due to impending visa deadlines.
Special Considerations: The applicant successfully obtained a Certificate of Departure from the Social Insurance Fund (SIF) as a sole proprietor, which allowed them to bypass the need to register as an Autónomo in Spain. Additionally, they secured private insurance.
To strengthen the application, a supplementary agreement was made to extend the contract for five years, leveraging the contract’s automatic renewal clause. The rest of the documentation package was standard.
Timeline:
- Submission: February 6th
- Additional Document Request: February 22nd (requested to resend invoices)
- Approval: February 27th
Outcome: The applicant received a 3-year nomad visa.
