The authorities may also require verification from individuals who hold a university degree or have completed professional courses. These requirements apply to regulated professions in Spain, but specific guidance on types of work permits or visas has not previously been published.

Regarding entrepreneurship, Spain's National Innovation Agency (ENISA) will compile reports on each entrepreneur for the government.
