What this document is
“Comunicación de salida al extranjero” is a form of Spain’s Public Employment Service (SEPE). It is filed by people receiving unemployment benefit who plan to leave Spain: for a short trip, for up to 90 days, or to move abroad for less than a year.
The departure must be reported in advance. According to the form, if it is not reported (and, where required, not authorised by SEPE), the benefit ends (extinción).
Who applies and where
- A — trips adding up to no more than 30 days in the calendar year: the benefit keeps being paid, but you must report the departure and later your return;
- B — more than 30 and up to 90 days in the calendar year: payment is suspended and prior SEPE authorisation is needed;
- C — moving abroad for less than 12 months to work or look for work, for international cooperation or professional training: payment is suspended if SEPE authorises it;
- the form is filed with SEPE before leaving; it has a space for the stamp of another public body’s registry. Check sepe.es on whether it can be filed online.
If someone else files it for the recipient, they need the recipient’s written authorisation and copies of both DNIs.
What the form asks
Type of departure (A, B or C) and, for a move, its reason; departure date; the recipient’s name and DNI/NIE; details of anyone filing on their behalf; the declaration tick; remarks; place and date of signing. The “Autorización” and “Motivo denegación” boxes are completed by SEPE.
What to bring
- the recipient’s DNI, NIE or TIE;
- if someone else files — the recipient’s authorisation and copies of both DNIs;
- evidence of the purpose if you move under option C — it will be required on your return to resume the benefit.
