Hi [CPA's first name],

I'm applying for the Spanish Digital Nomad Visa (Visado Nómada Digital), which allows US contractors to legally relocate to Spain while continuing their professional activity. The application is governed by Ley 14/2013 (Spain) and is reviewed by a specialized unit called UGE-CE (Unidad de Grandes Empresas y Colectivos Estratégicos).

UGE-CE requires applicants to prove their self-employment status. Since the United States has no government-issued self-employment registry equivalent to Spain's alta autónomo, the standard substitute is a CPA letter on firm letterhead confirming my status.

Could you please draft and sign such a letter for me? The letter must include the following elements (this is what Spanish authorities specifically require):

1. On your firm's official letterhead (showing firm name, address, phone, your CPA license number).
2. Confirmation that I have filed IRS Form 1040 Schedule C (Profit or Loss from Business — Sole Proprietorship) for the most recent [number] tax years, reporting income from [describe your profession briefly].
3. Statement that I operate as a self-employed independent contractor (sole proprietor) since [Month Year you started], conducting business under my own legal name (not through an LLC, S-Corp, or other entity).
4. My average monthly gross income for the past 12 months, in USD (with approximate EUR equivalent if possible).
5. Confirmation that the income is recurring on a regular monthly basis (this wording matters — Spanish authorities apply a "recurring monthly income" test).
6. Your CPA license number, state, and signature, plus your firm stamp/seal if applicable.
7. Letter dated within the last 90 days from the time I submit my visa application.

I've attached a reference template showing the structure Spanish authorities expect. Please feel free to adapt it to your firm's standard letter format — what matters is that the substance is preserved.

Important next steps after you sign:

• I'll need the letter in original physical form (wet-ink signature). Digital signatures may not be accepted for apostille.
• I'll then apostille the letter via the US Department of State or relevant state's Secretary of State office, depending on the document type and your firm's location.
• Finally, I'll have it sworn-translated into Spanish by a certified translator in Spain.

My timeline: I'd like to submit my visa application by [target date]. Could you let me know by what date you can have the letter ready, and what your fee would be?

Thank you very much. Happy to jump on a quick call if it helps to discuss.

Best regards,
