I am a UK citizen and my partner is Indian. I am currently self employed in the UK and he recently visited me here on a tourist visa. I have work lined up in Ibiza for the summer and so will be going there in May to register as self employed and get an NIE number. I would like to invite my partner to visit me there and we prepared all the papers for his Schengen tourist visa. However, as I am not in Spain I was not able to get a letter from the Policia Nacional inviting him. VFS said that the Embassy would refuse us on these grounds, however, due to our circumstances surely this is unfair. I have ample savings and all the relevant documents for the visa application.
Does anyone have any advice on this? How necessary is this letter from the police?
Also is it necessary to have my UK passport attested as a sponsor for my partner's Spanish tourist visa? If so, what is the process?
Thank you for your time and guidance.
