Spain work permit
Spain grants a combined work and residence authorisation that the employer applies for before you request the visa. Highly qualified roles and shortage occupations follow a faster track.
Main routes
- Employer-sponsored work & residence authorisation — standard route for a specific job.
- Highly Qualified Professional (Ley de Emprendedores) — accelerated route for senior/technical roles.
- Shortage occupation list (Catálogo) — exempt from the labour market test.
Core requirements
- Job offer and contract from a Spanish employer in good standing
- Passport valid for the requested period
- Qualification recognition where the profession is regulated
- Criminal record certificate, apostilled and translated
- Medical certificate and health insurance
How the process works
- Step 1 — Eligibility assessment and route selection.
- Step 2 — Employer files the authorisation in Spain.
- Step 3 — Work visa application at the Spanish consulate.
- Step 4 — Arrival, social security registration and TIE residence card.
