For domestic service, they provide their NIF or NIE and their latest income tax return or a certificate of income.Two fees, paid by the worker and by the employerConditions and details
Two fees (form 790) are linked to the authorisation: one, code 052, is paid by the foreign worker; the other, code 062, is paid by the employer if the work authorisation lasts six months or more.
