How does the application process for this residence work?
As we have mentioned, all applications for this visa are made at the UGE, but in this case they must be submitted by the company who transferring the worker.
In that sense, there are two options to do so:
And this must be done at least 90 days before flying to Spain; although it is also possible to obtain this residency once the worker is already within the Spanish territory; as long as she is in a legal situation (with a valid tourist visa).
The processing is very fast, since in just 20-30 days you will receive an answer.
Once the foreigner receives a positive resolution, she must apply for the visa at the Spanish consulate located in the country of origin (or omit this step if she is already in Spain).
In this phase of the process, the times depend on each consulate, but since it has preferential processing, it usually takes about 7-10 days to obtain it.
With this visa, the foreigner will have 30 days to travel to Spain and enter the country, at which time she will finally obtain her TIE or physical residence card at any immigration office.
