Work Authorization in Spain: Employees & Self-Employed

Spain offers specific residency and work permits depending on your professional path. Whether you are being hired by a company or launching your own project, these are the primary options:

• Employee Work Permit: A temporary residency and work authorization requested by an employer or entrepreneur to hire a professional who is currently living outside of Spain.

• Self-Employed Authorization: A temporary residency and work permit designed for non-resident foreigners who wish to perform lucrative activities in Spain on a self-employed basis (Autónomo).

Both permits are essential for establishing a legal professional life in the country, and all applications are managed in accordance with current regulations.
