More and more young Argentines decide to go to work in Spain. Without citizenship, many choose to process the “Working Holiday” visa, which allows them to stay in the European country for up to a year.
To travel this way, you need to have a work visafor which in 2023 there are 500 places enabled.
Before starting the process, you must have a job offer. Once an employer is found who is willing to hire the person concerned, the visa process can begin. This step is essential because a document certifying that the person already has a job offer must be presented at the consulate.
