Dominica-Pakistani Affiliate Marketer (Client Company in Lithuania)

The Case & Challenge

This case stands out as one of the most structurally complex applications handled by our team. The applicant, a Pakistani national who obtained a second citizenship from Dominica via a citizenship-by-investment program, operated as an independent affiliate marketer for a corporate client based in Lithuania. He strategically applied using his Dominica passport to utilize its visa-free entry privileges into Spain, thereby avoiding the lengthy Schengen visa application process.

However, the core structure of his compensation model triggered intense scrutiny from the Unidad de Grandes Empresas (UGE). Because affiliate marketing is inherently commission-based, his service contract did not stipulate a fixed base salary. Even though his actual monthly payouts regularly exceeded the minimum financial thresholds mandated by Spanish immigration law, the evaluator issued a requerimiento classifying his income as unstable, sporadic, and occasional. To prevent a rejection based on fluctuating funds, the application required irrefutable proof of financial continuity.

The Strategy & Solution

To counter the UGE’s assessment, our team compiled an extensive historical and corporate file to recharacterize his commission model as a reliable, recurring stream of revenue.

• Corporate Income Validation: We coordinated directly with the Lithuanian client company to secure a formal, customized corporate declaration. This official statement explicitly clarified that despite the contract being commission-variable, the applicant’s performance-based income was regular, stable, and guaranteed to continue on an ongoing basis.
• Long-Term Financial Mapping: Rather than providing the standard three months of financial history, we gathered and submitted a full year of corporate payment logs alongside twelve consecutive months of personal bank statements. This extensive timeline clearly demonstrated a consistent upward trajectory in earnings, effectively disproving the evaluator’s assumption that the funds were sporadic.

The Outcome

The strategy successfully established the long-term viability of the applicant’s business model. The UGE accepted the extended history and corporate certification, fully validating his commission structure as meeting the stable income requirement.

On January 23, 2026, the application achieved full Approval! This milestone victory demonstrates that performance-based and commission-heavy contracts can win approval for the Spain Digital Nomad Visa when backed by comprehensive historical data and strong client corporate backing.
