Seasonal Work Permit in Spain

The Seasonal Work Permit in Spain is a government-sponsored program granting temporary work contracts in sectors such as agriculture, tourism, and hospitality. The permit allows a non-EU worker to reside and work legally in Spain for up to nine months, with the possibility of a further nine-month extension. The program is designed to place workers in seasonal roles and may provide pathways toward permanent employment opportunities.

Open to workers worldwide; priority is given to applicants from countries with bilateral agreements with Spain and to non-EU nationals seeking seasonal employment.

Employers obtain a work permit; applicants apply for a residence and work permit through the Spanish embassy or consulate in their country after the employer secures a permit.
