Hi,

I assume your question relates to Spain and I moved your topic there (better than immigration to the UK forum;-) ).
In theory you should be applying for your visa when you are NOT in the country. Especially as you current visa is no longer valid.

If you are already in Spain you may apply to the provincial office of the Ministry of Labour (Delegación Provincial del Ministerio de Trabajo). Your employer should be able to guide you through the process or submit documentation on your behalf.

You will need to complete a proper visa application at the Spanish consulate’s office in your country of origin, you may need a letter from the Immigration Office in Spain (Oficina de Extranjero/Oficina d’Estrangers). The provincial labour offices (Direcciones Provinciales de Trabajo, Seguridad Social y Asuntos Sociales) will decide whether the work permit will be issued or not.

You must present the following documents when applying for a work permit:
- Valid passport or travel document, valid for a minimum of 4 months
- Three passport-size photographs
- Copy of the employment contract, stamped by the Foreigners’ Office
- Criminal record certificate issued by your national police authority covering the previous 5 years and indicating you have not committed any criminal offences under Spanish law
- Certificate of health confirming you are not suffering from any diseases that could endanger public health

Decision will be made in between 1 – 3 months.

Again, the company should guide you throughout all the process.
