Work permit types
Different employment situations require different permits. We assess your case and assign a specialist on the right route for you.
General Work Permit
Standard employment visa for roles not on the shortage occupation list. Employer-sponsored with full labour market test.
Highly Qualified Professional
For senior or specialised roles requiring advanced qualifications or 3+ years of field experience. Family members receive work authorisation from day one. Can be applied from within Spain.
Intra-Company Transfer
For employees of multinational companies transferring to a Spanish subsidiary or branch office.
Shortage Occupation
Roles on Spain's shortage occupation list bypass the labour market test, significantly speeding up the process.
