Job and PR Pathways After Study
🇪🇸 Job and PR Pathways After Study in Spain
1. Job Search Visa (Estancia por Estudios con Búsqueda de Empleo):
After completing a recognized degree in Spain, international students can apply for a job search residence permit valid for up to 12 months. This allows graduates to stay legally in Spain while searching for a job or starting a business related to their studies.

4. Permanent Residency (Residencia de Larga Duración):
After 5 years of continuous and legal residence in Spain (including time spent under a student visa, if conditions are met), you may qualify for long-term residency. This allows you to live and work in Spain with fewer restrictions.
