Jarvi is right, the bank must think you are a business, ie self-employed. Tell them you are not. They normally only request this form when you first open a business account. Anyway, only people with residencia status can be autonomo, ie self employed. (You need residencia to get the digital certificate to access the AT site to complete the form anyway).
For a non-resident bank account all you need is an NIE and a British passport. You don't even need a Spanish address. My Sabadell statements come to the UK because the Correos is so hit and miss in Lanzarote where I live.
I was going to post links of how to get the form for those who DO have a business, but the page won't let me post them as I am not 'approved' or something.
Thread:
