About the service

What is the Highly Skilled Professional Visa?

The Highly Skilled Professional Visa in Spain is the premier immigration route for top international talent. Created under the Entrepreneurs’ Law (Ley de Emprendedores), its purpose is to attract qualified professionals by offering a significantly faster and more flexible process than the standard work permit.

The single greatest advantage is that it completely bypasses the National Employment Situation. Your employer does not need to prove that there are no suitable candidates in Spain or the EU, removing the biggest obstacle of the general regime.

To qualify as a “highly skilled professional”, you generally need to fit one of two profiles. Either be a graduate or postgraduate from a prestigious university or business school, or be a specialist with a minimum of 3 years of relevant professional experience.

A key element is the salary threshold. The job offer must meet a specific minimum salary, which for 2025 is generally over €41,000 annually. This can be reduced to around €31,000 for professionals under 30 or for roles in strategic sectors.

The entire application is managed by a specialized unit, the UGE-CE, which guarantees a resolution in just 20 working days. This incredible speed is a game-changer for professionals and companies.

Another major benefit is the ability to apply directly from within Spain. You can enter as a tourist and, upon receiving a qualifying job offer, start your application without having to return to your home country.

Furthermore, this visa allows your family members (spouse and children) to be included in a joint application. This means they can get their residency permits at the same time as you, not months later.

Our expertise is navigating the specific requirements of the UGE-CE and the visa PAC (as it’s commonly known). We work closely with your employer to prepare a compelling company report and ensure your profile perfectly aligns with the criteria, guaranteeing a swift and successful application.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about the Highly Skilled Professional Visa in Spain

What is the exact salary I need to be offered?

For 2025, the general threshold is over €41,000 per year. However, this can be reduced by 25% (to around €31,000) if the company is an SME in a strategic sector or if the professional is under 30 years old.
The key differences are speed (20 days vs. many months), flexibility (you can apply from within Spain), and simplicity (it does not require the National Employment Situation test), making it far superior for qualified profiles.
Yes, absolutely. The residency permit granted to your spouse or registered partner under this visa automatically authorizes them to live and work in Spain, either for a company or as self-employed.
A major advantage is that the initial residency authorization granted under this visa is for three years, compared to the one-year validity of the standard work permit. This provides much greater stability from the start.
