Who qualifies for an EU Blue Card in Spain?

The EU Blue Card in Spain targets highly qualified workers. You generally need higher professional qualifications, such as a relevant higher-education degree or recognized equivalent professional skills, and a binding job offer or work contract for highly qualified employment lasting at least six months.

You must also be paid at least the Blue Card salary threshold set in Spain, which is tied to the national average salary and updated periodically. Reduced thresholds can apply in shortage occupations or for recent graduates. Confirm the current threshold before applying, since the figure changes over time.
