How to extend your visa to search for a job
The Job search visa is a residence permit granted to non-EU citizens, for instance, Philippine, who have completed their studies in Spain, to extend their stay in the country for another year. This is granted in order for an applicant to secure employment or start their own business.
The Job search visa is a non-lucrative residence permit, which means that it does not allow the holder to work in Spain during this time. However, once a job has been secured, the chosen company will request and process the change over from a job search visa to a work visa.
“I did the MBA at IESE in 2019. Once I finished the MBA, my student visa expired and I didn’t really know how to proceed. Several of my classmates had contacted Orience to help them with the process of obtain a job search visa so I did not hesitate to do the same. I got my visa to stay in Spain for another year and once I knew what I wanted to do, they also advised me on setting up my own company.”
