Work Visa – Spain
Employer-sponsored work permits and shortage-occupation routes into one of Europe's largest economies. This page covers working in Spain — for degrees, see Study in Spain.
Who qualifies
[Draft] Spain's general work permit route requires a Spanish employer to sponsor you, with priority given to occupations on the shortage list. Seasonal schemes operate for agricultural work, and highly qualified professionals may qualify for fast-track routes.
- Job offer from a Spanish employer willing to sponsor [confirm per route]
- Occupation on the shortage list, or a labour-market test cleared by the employer [confirm]
- Relevant experience/qualifications, clean criminal record, valid passport
