Almost every application form in Spain asks whether you can already work in the country. Spainward asks you once and uses the answer everywhere.
What to tell it
- Whether you need sponsorship: for example, you are not an EU citizen and have no Spanish residence permit.
- Any permit you already have, and until when.
- Your citizenship, since EU citizens don't need a permit to work in Spain.
How it's used
Spainward answers the work permit questions on each form from this, and it weighs roles by the visa routes they fit. Read Work visa routes for moving to Spain for how the routes differ.
Spainward can't grant or promise a visa: the permit is decided by the Spanish authorities, after the offer.
