Spain Residence Permit Services - Managed by Jobbatical

Struggling with Relocating and Retaining Non-EU Employees in Spain? We Help with Spain Residence Permit Services

The Spain residence permit issued as a Tarjeta de Identidad de Extranjero (TIE) is the official authorisation that lets non-EU nationals live and work in Spain for longer than 90 days. To secure a Spain residence permit, your employee must meet the financial and qualification thresholds for their route, hold recognised credentials where required, and satisfy Spanish immigration requirements under Royal Decree 1155/2024.

Spain residence permit benefits for employers

• Recruit and relocate qualified non-EU professionals into Spain-based roles across skilled and shortage occupations
• Support employees on a pathway toward permanent residence and long-term retention in Spain (available after five years of continuous legal residence)
• Enable international employees to benefit from Schengen mobility, family reunification rights, and permits now renewable up to four years under Royal Decree 1155/2024

Common challenges when hiring through the Spain residence permit route

• Employers must meet route-specific salary and financial thresholds (commonly €30,000–€40,000+ per year for skilled roles in 2026)
• Foreign academic degrees and documents often require apostille, legalisation, and sworn translation (traducción jurada) before submission
• HR teams must track TIE appointment (cita previa) availability, renewal deadlines, and evolving Oficina de Extranjería rules across multiple cases
