Can you get a DNV as an IP or self-employed Russian?

What is relacion profesional, and how is it different from work?
Relacion profesional is a relationship under a commercial contract (contrato mercantil) rather than a labour contract.

Second: you can work for a company in Spain, but not more than 20% of all professional activities [1]Third: income is counted by accounts, not by vouchers [2].

[2].
Is the Russian customer suitable?
The law refers to companies "not located in Spain" and the country does not restrict [1]. Need a register statement of the customer (certificado del Registro Mercantil or equivalent of the country) with the date of the foundation and type of activity; public foreign documents are issued with apostille and juror translation [2][4]The name "empresa" does not fall directly into the name "Physician buyer", but the name of the agency that checks Russian customers and their discharges is not described in the public domain. a visa at the Moscow Consulate.
