Visa Types

This section outlines the requirements for employment, student and business visas, including types of visas, documentation requirements and renewals. Below is a brief excerpt from this section:

Work/Employment

You’ll need a long-stay visa (D) for Spain, a work visa and a residence permit if you’ll be providing research, technical assistance, professional services or any other remunerated activity for more than three months, unless an exemption applies.

EU and EEA nationals do not need a work visa to work in Spain for any length of time but do need to register their residence with the local authorities. 

Students

A long-stay student visa (D) for Spain is generally required for foreign nationals planning to study, intern, research or volunteer in the country for over 90 days at any academic level (primary, secondary, undergraduate, graduate or post-graduate). It can also be used for au pair programs. There are also visas for researchers and those participating in an internship program.

Business

Foreign nationals planning to travel to Spain for business generally need a Schengen Visa, business designation. It is required for business trips, including conferences, trade fairs, meetings and contract negotiations. Citizens of many countries are exempt from the visa requirement for short stays, including for business purposes.
