Frequently Asked Questions
​
Validity of employment agreements v consultancy agreements?
​
The primary focus is not on the type of employment agreement but rather on whether the activities align with the visa's requirements.
​
If you are employed remotely by a company and plan to work remotely under the digital nomad visa, you would generally not need an employment agreement specifically. A consultancy agreement is perfectly valid, as it reflects your remote work arrangement, as long as you are not engaging directly with the local market or receiving income from a local source, which could require a different visa category or work permit. The key requirement for the visa is that you are working remotely for a company or clients outside of the relevant jurisdiction.

Do the local authorities carry out routine checks?
​
Local authorities could potentially question your eligibility during routine checks or renewals. To mitigate risk, at Gomez Global Consulting, we ensure that we remain available throughout the period of the digital nomad visa for any routine checks. In addition, we will notify you two weeks prior to the expiration of the digital nomad visa to provide and/or renew the consultancy agreement to demonstrate continued compliance.

​
Gomez Global Consulting ensure that items such as scope of work and remote nature, income source, and non-employment clauses, amongst others, are included in the consultancy agreement to ensure smooth processing and compliance with local expectations and international standards.
