Bring in international talent
with full legal certainty.
We manage every route for hiring non-EU workers so your company can bring in the talent it needs without legal problems.
The entire process
of hiring from abroad
We advise companies of every size on the complete process of hiring non-EU workers, from assessing the right route to full regularisation.
- Residence and work authorisation as an employee
- Hiring at origin (long-stay visa)
- Management of the annual employment quota
- Renewal of work authorisations
- EU Blue Card for highly qualified professionals
- Intra-company transfers (ICT)
- Recognition and validation of foreign qualifications
- Advice during labour inspections
Three main routes
depending on your profile and needs
Employed-worker authorisation
The standard route when you have already identified the candidate. The company applies for the authorisation, the worker applies for the visa in their home country and comes to work.
Indicative timeline: 2–4 months
Employment quota
For sectors with recognised demand (agriculture, hospitality, construction). The authorities manage a fixed number of annual places for hard-to-fill positions.
Annual call — we keep you informed of deadlines
EU Blue Card
For highly qualified workers (technicians, engineers, IT professionals, executives). A faster procedure that also allows mobility within the EU.
Minimum salary required: 1.5× the average salary
What you need to have in place
before applying
A genuine job offer
A signed contract or hiring commitment with working hours, job category and salary in line with the sector's collective bargaining agreement.
Social Security in good standing
The company must be up to date with its Social Security and tax payments and have no serious penalties for labour law infringements.
Registered business or self-employed status
The applicant company must be legally incorporated, registered with the employment authorities and able to prove genuine business activity.
Labour-market test certificate
In most cases you must show that no jobseeker with that profile is available in Spain. We handle the entire procedure with the SEPE (public employment service) for you.
Tell us what profile you need
and we will tell you the fastest route.
Every case is different. An initial consultation lets us point you to the right route, the real timelines and the documents you will need.
