Get a Work Permit in Spain
And open new doors for yourself
Clear criteria
As long as the position and the worker fit the specifications, we will be able to deal with your application quickly and simply. Our team will assess eligibility right away – contact us.
Long duration
The initial visa last one year, and has an easy renewal process which is automatically granted as long as the same conditions are met. After 5 years the worker can claim permanent residency.
All the benefits of Spanish residency
All the benefits of Spanish residency for the worker under Spanish employment law, including rights to public services, and freedom to travel around the whole Schengen area.
Opening the path for your family to accompany you
After one year you can apply for the Family Reunification Visa which will allow your close family to reside in Spain too. If you’d like them to accompany sooner, we can look at other types of Visa that are independent of yours – to discuss options with one of our immigration experts, please contact us
Conditions
It’s important to note that the process for gaining a work permit under Spanish employment law is always started by the company offering the position, not by the worker. There are various conditions under which companies are allowed to hire workers from outside Spain or the EU.
There is a list of professions which have ‘insufficient coverage’, which is updated quarterly. To find out the most up-to-date information on this, contact us.
If the profession is not included in this list, Spanish employment law provides for other ways to apply, for example if the company can prove that they have not been able to find a suitable candidate from Spain or the EU.
The worker must prove that they have the qualifications required for the role.
The company must prove that it has sufficient means for the economic commitment detailed in the contract.

What are the requirements
Although the criteria are fairly simple once we establish viability, the documentation required is quite complex. Hence why having an expert legal team on your side is a must. We’ll help you prepare every detail of the application according to your exact situation. Some common documentation requirements include:
Company documentation confirming the eligibility of the company, as well as financial situation, and the circumstances which allow for the hiring of a non-EU citizen.
Worker viability documentation – qualifications that prove the suitability of the worker for the role, job offer & contract
Personal documentation –passport with correct validity, criminal record checks, medical insurance proof etc.
We’ll help you every step of the way.

We can't thank Alex, Agustina, and Sofia enough for all their help obtaining our visas and our apartment. The entire process was daunting, but they walked us through step-by-step. We had a lot of questions but they were so incredibly kind and patient. ¡Muchas gracias!Posted on Google![]()

I am now a spanish resident on the digital nomad visa thanks to Vera, Carolina and Pilar from Carbray. Vera and Carolina were incredibly supportive in helping me get together the documents I needed, meticulously spotting missing signatures and communicating clearly throughout the entire process. Pilar supported with my successful application for Beckham's law. Due to a misunderstanding in how long I had to apply, she took this on very last minute and even spoke on the phone spanish officials at one of my appointments to make it happen in time. I would definitely recommend. Thanks all 🧡Posted on Google![]()

I had a fantastic experience working with Nerea for help on my visa, and will be returning to work with her for future renewals. Carbray International has a very helpful and knowledgeable team and came highly recommended. I also highly recommend them, especially for digital nomad and other specialty visa situations. Gracias!Posted on Google![]()

Carbray International has been extremely helpful in helping us obtain residency in Spain and getting our Spanish passports. The process would have been much more difficult (and possibly impossible) without their guidance. We cannot thank them enough for their guidance and patience throughout the process. I highly recommend partnering with them and tapping into their services. A special thank you and shout out to Alex Parfen and Sofia Grondona of the Carbray International team!
