Tarragona has started requesting foreign employment contracts and proof of their current status. In Málaga, a modification was refused because the applicant still met the conditions of the existing digital nomad permit.
In several Cuenta Propia modification cases in Tarragona, applicants received additional requests for the contract with the foreign company on which the international remote work permit had been granted.
Documentary proof is also requested that the contract is still in force, or of the date on which it ended. The wording allows a current contract to be submitted, but the practical weight of that remains unclear.
In Málaga, a modification was refused where the applicant did not provide information on the end of the employment relationship. The decision stated that the applicant continued to meet the conditions of the current digital nomad permit.
Practical takeaway: when preparing a switch to Cuenta Propia, consider the status of the foreign employment contract and whether the end of the previous activity can be evidenced. Earlier approvals without such documents do not guarantee the same outcome in new cases.
