Key eligibility requirements include:
- Stable and sufficient income

Entrepreneur Visa

Work and Self-Employment Visas
The Work Visa applies to individuals who have received an employment offer from a Spanish company and need authorisation to live and work in Spain. The applicable procedure depends on the role, sector and personal circumstances of the applicant.
This process typically involves:
- Assessing the correct immigration route

Highly Qualified Professional Visa
The Highly Qualified Professional Visa is intended for specialised professionals hired by Spanish companies for roles that meet specific qualification and salary thresholds. It is commonly used for executive, managerial or highly technical positions.
This visa offers an expedited authorisation process but requires strict adherence to regulatory criteria. Careful legal assessment is necessary to confirm eligibility and to structure the application correctly from the outset.
