Visa for high qualified worker in Spain

The visa as a highly qualified professional in Spain should be applied by companies or businesses that need to hire personnel with specific technical skills for a particular type of work. Normally these are jobs related to the world of science or technology.

The worker must have at least 3 years of experience and the salary must be more than €41,000 gross per year. The visa can be applied from Spain or from the country of origin through the Consulate.

Unlike other visas under the general law, the highly qualified professional visa has a preferential processing. This means that once the application is submitted, the institution that resolves this type of visa in Spain will do so within 20 working days. Applications from family members will be resolved with the same speed.
