For anyone who wants to study, work or open a business in Spain from another country. We tell you which permit fits you and handle it from start to finish.
A student stay allows you to work as an employee or self-employed for up to 30 hours a week, without any other permit, if you are in higher education or vocational training and the work is compatible with your classes. When you finish, you can switch to a residence and work permit without going back to your country.
We help you choose a school and a programme that give you the right to work, prepare the visa at the consulate and, when you finish, switch to residence and work.
This is the route for a Spanish company to hire a worker who lives outside Spain. The company files the application in Spain and, once it is granted, the worker collects the visa at the consulate and starts work.
The process is simpler if the job is on the Shortage Occupations List, which the Spanish public employment service (SEPE) publishes every quarter. If it is not, the company must first show that it has not found suitable candidates in Spain.
We advise the company and the worker at the same time: offer, contract, application and visa.
For managers, technicians and specialists with an offer from a company in Spain. The application is filed with the Large Companies and Strategic Groups Unit (UGE), without a labour market test, and the family can be included in the same application.
