Spain, Portugal, Italy, Croatia, Germany, Greece, Malta… almost every digital nomad visa requires proof of a professional relationship. If your client or employer won’t issue the right papers, we can help – legally, professionally, and quickly.
Over 40 countries now offer some form of digital nomad visa or remote work permit. From Europe’s startup hubs to Latin America’s tropical beaches, the opportunity to live and work abroad has never been greater.
From our partners:
But there’s a catch that unites almost all of them: you must prove an ongoing professional relationship with a foreign entity.
Usually, that means:
- 📄 A certificate of employment or service agreement
- 📑 Proof of contract duration (often a minimum of 3–6 months)
- 💰 Invoices or receipts showing recent payments
For traditional employees with cooperative HR departments, this is a minor annoyance. For everyone else – freelancers, platform workers, consultants, or anyone with less‑than‑responsive clients – it can be a dead end.
The global reality: Spain requires 3 months of relationship proof. Portugal’s D8 visa asks for a employment contract or service agreement. Croatia wants a recent invoice. Germany’s freelance visa needs letters of intent from clients. The paperwork is the same problem, different flag.
A single solution for a universal problem
Zedista offers a structured documentation facilitation service designed for any digital nomad visa applicant. We work with legitimate partner entities in three jurisdictions: the United Kingdom, the European Union (non‑Spanish), and Singapore. You choose the jurisdiction that best aligns with your work style or target country. Our partners then issue the required documents – certificates of employment, commercial contracts, invoices – in a format accepted by immigration authorities worldwide.
This is not a fake employer scheme. It is a transparent commercial arrangement. Our partner entity provides administrative documentation services in exchange for a fee. The documents accurately reflect a genuine contractual relationship, which is exactly what digital nomad visa laws contemplate for self‑employed and freelance applicants.
Certificate of employment / engagement
A formal letter on company letterhead confirming your role, relationship duration, and authorisation to work remotely from your destination country.
Service agreement / contract
A commercial contract that satisfies any minimum relationship period (3, 6, or 12 months). Signed, dated, and ready for submission.
Invoices & payment receipts
Professional invoices covering the required lookback period, proving ongoing activity and income flow.
How it works – same process, any country
Step 1 – Consultation. You tell us which country’s digital nomad visa you are targeting and what documentation they require. We confirm whether our service fits your situation.
Step 2 – Jurisdiction selection. Choose between a UK, EU, or Singapore partner entity. Each has different commercial characteristics; we can explain the differences, but the choice is yours.
Step 3 – Document preparation. Our partner entity issues your certificate of employment, service agreement, and a set of invoices covering the required period (minimum 3 months, extendable). Typical turnaround: 5‑10 business days. Express service (2‑3 days) available.
Step 4 – Delivery. You receive digital copies (PDF) immediately. Physical originals can be couriered if your chosen visa requires hard copies.
Step 5 – Submit with confidence. Your documents are formatted to meet the expectations of immigration authorities in Spain, Portugal, Italy, Croatia, Germany, Greece, Malta, or any other DNV‑offering country.
Important disclosure. This service provides administrative documentation only. You remain responsible for meeting all other visa requirements: minimum monthly income, health insurance, criminal record certificate, and any country‑specific conditions. Zedista is not a law firm. We recommend consulting an immigration lawyer for your specific target country.
