Spanish RP will allow me to get job and work in Spain ?
Yes, obtaining a Spanish Residence Permit (RP) will typically allow you to live and work in Spain legally, depending on the type of residence permit you have. Here’s how it generally works:
Work Permit: If you have a residence permit that is specifically tied to employment, such as a work permit or a skilled worker permit, it means that you are allowed to work in Spain. These permits are usually granted based on your job offer from a Spanish employer or your qualifications in a field that is in demand in Spain. You will need to work for the employer and in the position specified in your permit.
Student Permit: If you have a student residence permit, you’re generally allowed to work a certain number of hours per week during your studies. This is often part of the permit’s conditions to support your living expenses.
Family Reunification Permit: If your residence permit is through family reunification (joining a family member who is a resident or citizen of Spain), you might be eligible to work in Spain as well, depending on the type of permit granted to you.
Long-Term Residency and Permanent Residency: If you obtain long-term resident status or permanent residency after living in Spain for a specified period, you usually have the right to work in Spain without the restrictions tied to specific job offers.
It’s important to remember that the type of residence permit you have will determine the extent of your work authorization. Some permits might be tied to a specific employer or occupation, while others might grant you more flexibility. Additionally, certain professions might require recognition of foreign qualifications in Spain before you can work in those fields.
