What Is the Spain Work Visa?

The Spain work visa is a residence and employment authorisation granted to non-EU nationals who have secured a job offer from a Spanish employer. This permit will enable the applicant to remain in Spain and work legally for the period stated in the authorisation.

In most cases, the employer in Spain must initiate the work permit process with Spanish immigration authorities before the applicant can apply for the Spain work permit visa at a Spanish consulate in their country of residence.

Upon acceptance, the visa permits entry to Spain and subsequently, the visa can be converted into a residence card upon arrival.

Eligibility Requirements for the Spain Work Permit Visa

To qualify for a Spain work visa, applicants must meet several legal requirements established by Spanish immigration law. The government usually assesses the following factors:

  • Legal employment opportunity in Spain.
  • Meeting Spanish labour regulations through an employment contract.
  • Information that the job could not be readily filled locally.
  • Qualifications or professional experience are relevant.
  • Clean criminal record
  • Medical certificate of good health.

Employment permits are considered to be highly controlled, and, therefore, it is important to prepare the application properly to prevent any delays or rejection.

Required Documentation for the Spain Work Visa

Applications for the Spain work permit visa must include a number of official documents to confirm eligibility. Although the list of requirements may differ based on this or that type of employment, the following are the typical documents:

  • Meanwhile, a valid passport and visa application forms.
  • Work authorisation approved in Spain.
  • Signed employment contract
  • Diplomas of academic or professional qualification.
  • Criminal background certificate.
  • Medical certificate
  • Evidence of residence or lodging in Spain.

Our legal department assists in the review and organisation of all documents to meet the demands of the Spanish immigration officials.
