Work Permit
in Spain

The work permit in Spain, officially known as “Autorización de Trabajo,” is a legal document that grants non-EU/EEA and Swiss nationals the right to live and work in Spain.

Target Audience

  • Non-EU/EEA and Swiss nationals who have received a job offer from a Spanish employer.

  • Entrepreneurs and self-employed individuals looking to start a business in Spain.

  • Highly skilled professionals, researchers, and workers in sectors deemed as high demand.

How to Obtain

  • Job Offer: Securing a job offer from a Spanish company, which must justify hiring a non-EU/EEA national over an EU citizen.

  • Application by Employer: In most cases, the employer must initiate the work permit application on behalf of the prospective employee by submitting it to the Spanish labor authorities.

  • Visa Application: Once the work permit is approved, the individual applies for a work visa at the Spanish consulate or embassy in their home country.

Required Documents

  • A valid passport.

  • The job contract from a Spanish employer.

  • A clean criminal record certificate from the countries of residence for the past five years.

  • A medical certificate.
