Positive Cuenta Propia modification decisions were reported in Asturias, Tarragona, Álava, Zaragoza, Galicia, Castellón and Málaga. Requirements for supporting documents vary.
Asturias and Tarragona: around ten positive decisions in total. In Asturias, up-to-date marriage certificates began to be requested for family members. Álava (Basque Country): approval within one week with no further requests. Zaragoza: approval after a request related to the UGE notification of a change in residence circumstances. Galicia: approval within a month after evidence of compliance with the previous digital nomad permit.
Castellón: in several cases, bank statements, tax returns and proof of compliance with the previous permit were requested. Despite limited documented activity, positive decisions followed the responses. Málaga: approval with no additional request and no prior UGE notification. No refusals were reported in this group of cases.
Practical takeaway: regional practice differs even on the same modification basis. Prepare in advance documents on previous activity, current family documents and the information for UGE. Note: this reflects practice as of 30 October; later reports from 5 November describe stricter requirements in Tarragona and a refusal in Málaga.
