Visas and Residence & Work Permits

International Immigration Services for Companies and Mobile Employees

The obtaining of visas and residence & work permits in expatriation, immigration and employee mobility processes is a strategic aspect of international assignments. It is essential to plan ahead and assess the different options available in each country. Specialist advice and knowledge of the various requirements, deadlines and documentation needed in both the country of origin and the destination country are key. Every jurisdiction has its own regulations, making proper planning essential to avoid issues and ensure legal compliance.

For both EU and non-EU nationals, it is essential to assess their immigration status and ensure that all required documentation is in place to carry out professional activities in Spain, whether as an employee or self-employed, by obtaining the most appropriate visa and/or residence and work permit for each specific situation.

At Expatfeliu, we also provide comprehensive support for employee expatriation processes from Spain to other countries, including the management of visas, residence and work permits, expatriation agreements, labour and tax compliance, relocation services and any additional support required to ensure a smooth and secure international assignment.

We advise companies on the processing of work visas, residence permits, work authorisations, NIE and TIE applications, both for professionals relocating to Spain and for employees assigned abroad.

Our goal is to provide comprehensive international mobility advice that enables companies and professionals to make informed decisions, identify the most suitable timing for international assignments and comply with legal, employment and tax obligations in both the home and host countries. We also assess current and future risks to provide clear guidance throughout the entire process.

Through our extensive international network of partners, Feliu Worldwide, we offer support with visa and work permit applications in virtually any country, delivering a global solution for companies and professionals involved in international mobility.

Global Immigration Services

In Spain – Inbound

Do you need to hire a foreign employee who does not have a work permit in Spain?

At Expatfeliu, we provide comprehensive support with visa and residence permit applications in Spain for companies, professionals and families relocating to the country.

As the demand for international talent continues to grow, many organisations need to recruit foreign professionals for key positions. To do so, it is essential to complete all administrative procedures correctly so that employees obtain the appropriate residence and work authorisation in Spain.

Regardless of their nationality, it is crucial to assess each individual’s immigration status and ensure that all required documentation is in place to legally carry out professional activities in Spain, whether as an employee or a self-employed professional.

In certain temporary assignments, employees may remain under contract in their home country. However, the corresponding visa or residence and work permit is still required to legally work in Spain. Accompanying family members also require specific immigration solutions tailored to their circumstances.

There are different types of residence and work permits available depending on the duration, purpose and profile of the employee, professional or investor:

  • Highly Qualified Professionals.
  • Intra-Company Transfers.
  • Residence Permit for Internships.
  • Employee Work and Residence Permits.
  • Self-Employment Residence and Work Permits.
  • Entrepreneurs.
  • International Remote Workers (Digital Nomads).
  • Researchers.
  • Non-Lucrative Residence Permits.
  • Foreign Nationals Registration Procedures.

Additionally, at Expatfeliu we manage the renewal of residence and work permits for both the main applicant and accompanying family members, as well as any permit modifications that may be required during their stay in Spain.

Worldwide Visa and Work Permit Management

In today’s increasingly globalised environment, international employee assignments have become a common requirement for many organisations.
