Stay in Spain to Find Your Dream Job Legally
The Spain Job Search Visa (also called the residence permit for job seekers) allows non-EU nationals to enter and remain in Spain for up to 6 months to find employment or start a business. This visa is ideal if you want to live in Spain while searching for work without needing a prior job offer.
At Borderless Lawyers, we assist you with the entire application process to maximize your chances of approval.
