Scale your opportunities with the Job Seeking Visa.

There are many advantages of the Job Seeking Visa:

Quick resolution

You’ll have confirmation within 20 days.

Smooth transition to a working visa

It’s difficult to get a working permit coming directly from your studies. With this visa you already have a residency permit, so it’s easier for potential employers to hire you.

Your family can extend their stay too

Your family can extend their stay too under the same conditions as the joint application linked to a Student Visa.

Conditions

The qualification must be level 6

The qualification must be level 6 or higher according to the European framework, ie a Bachelor’s Degree or higher (Masters, PhD etc). You’ll need to make sure that the duration of your studies, and the institution where you undertook them, is eligible – we can confirm this for you free of charge. To get started, contact us.

You must apply within 60 days

You must apply within 60 days before finishing your studies or 90 days after.

Once granted

Once granted, you have up to 12 months to find employment.

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!

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 🧡

We worked with Cabray and got approved for digital nomad visas in Spain. A great result - we were so happy we did a little dance. Thanks to Ernest and the team for facilitating our move and family adventure!

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!

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!
