The consulate wants your move in your own words: why Spain, where you intend to live, and how your passive income sustains it. It doesn't need to be literary — coherent and consistent with your evidence is the bar. Contradictions between this letter and your documents are what raise eyebrows.
WHEN IT'S DUE
Due 90 days before you arrive in Spain.
WHY IT MATTERS
A legal requirement for your situation. Verified against an official government source (AEAT, extranjería, BOE).
