Hey all,

I am a student from Asia, currently studying in Barcelona. I like it here, and would like to continue living and working here after my study finished, which is in about 8 months.

I have been reading some info on the web that says, with my residency (type estudiante) i have only rights to work 20hrs a week (part time). Not even sure if it is only during my study lasts.

Say i found a job (fulltime) here, will I able to apply for workpermit and residency and continue to live here?

Any input is appreciated!!

Ciao

Ben

 

But surely to apply for a job from abroad is almost impossible, unless you probably have very special skill, or you know some people in the country. Even for europeans, it is suggested that they come first to the country and then look for work. Yet, some have succeeded.

I guess there is slight possibility that I found a company that is interested in hiring me, but then I have to go back to my country and do the proper procedure with another type of visa.

To mention another thing that is on my mind:
What if I managed to find work on another european country other than Spain. Will I be able to apply for work visa from the embassy in Spain (as I am currently a resident of it)?
