Spain Short-Term Work Permits: UAE Residents Can Now Work Up to 90 Days

Spain Offers Short-Term Work Permits for UAE Residents

Spain has introduced a new regulation allowing skilled professionals, including those from the UAE, to work in Spain for up to 90 days. This offers greater flexibility for short-term assignments.

Who is eligible?

The short-term work permits apply to:

• Digital Nomads
• EU Blue Card holders
• Researchers
• Highly Qualified Workers

Key Benefits

This new rule provides several benefits:

• Shorter Validity: Permits can cover stays shorter than 90 days.
• Legal Work Authorization: Allows legal work on short-term projects.
• Flexibility: Easier access to Spain’s job market for brief assignments.

How to Apply

If based in the UAE, apply through the Spanish consulate in Abu Dhabi or Dubai. If already in Spain, apply at the immigration office.

Important Considerations

Eligibility criteria, including education, job offers, and documentation, are still strictly enforced. The permits provide clear legal status, allowing workers to comply with tax and labor laws.
