Spain Work Visa
Workers who are not from EU countries need to obtain a Work Visa to be able to live and work in Spain. Without a Work Visa, a company cannot legally employ non-EU citizens. There are various types of Work Visas for Spain for different types of jobs and different lengths of employment.
Seasonal Workers Visa
The process of obtaining a Work Visa for Seasonal Workers is similar to the process for skilled workers. Employers need to apply for the visa on the worker’s behalf from the Ministry of Labour. In addition to this process, seasonal workers need to demonstrate they have suitable accommodation arranged, their travel costs are covered, and that they will return to their country once the job has finished. The visas are valid for the duration of the work contract.
