The Blue-EU Card is a temporary work and residence permit that a Spanish company can apply for in order to hire a highly qualified non-EU employee to commence work in Spain.

Requirements

– That the applicant is not unlawfully residing in Spanish territory

– That the national employment situation permits hiring the applicant.

This requirement is met when the job to be carried out by the foreigner is classified as "hard to fill" or the company can prove to the Spanish authorities the difficulty of filling job vacancies with the existing employees in the Spanish labour market.

– That the terms and conditions specified in the employment contract must comply with the current legislation and the gross annual salary must be at least 1.5 times the average gross annual salary (34.210,44 € for 2019).
