Hi. I’m a writer living in Madrid to work on a book on a Spanish national hero, to be published in the US. I don’t have a work visa, but was thinking of approaching the Interior Ministry to see if I might obtain one here. My thinking is that the book will be helpful to Spain’s image in the US, and perhaps an exception could be made.
Has anyone dealt with the Ministry? Any advice on how to approach them? I have proof of funds to stay here, health insurance and a letter from my publisher confirming the book deal. But I want to go about it the right way.
Thanks.
