Spain is set to extend its Job Seeker Visa from 3 months to a full 12 months, starting in 2025. This change aims to address labor shortages and provide non-EU citizens with more time to secure employment in the country.
Key Requirements for the Job Seeker Visa:
• Non-EU Citizenship: Applicants must be citizens of countries outside the European Union.
• Qualifications: A university degree or relevant work experience is necessary.
• Financial Means: Proof of sufficient savings to support oneself during the job search period is required.
• Health Insurance: Applicants must have valid health insurance coverage.
• Accommodation: Proof of a place to stay in Spain is needed.
Once employment is secured, individuals can apply for a work permit to reside in Spain long-term. This initiative is part of Spain’s broader strategy to attract skilled workers and regularize undocumented migrants, aiming to legalize approximately 300,000 migrants annually over the next three years.
This policy change presents a significant opportunity for professionals seeking to build their careers and experience life in Spain.
