    What is this procedure?

    What is it, what is it for, and who needs it?

    What is Student to Worker Modification?

    This is the procedure by which a foreign citizen residing in Spain with a student visa or stay authorization changes their legal status to obtain a residence and work permit. It allows you to stop being a student for legal purposes and start working as an employee in a Spanish company without needing to return to your home country.

    What it's used for

    • Change your status from student to employed worker
    • Work legally in Spain with an employment contract
    • Maintain your legal residency without leaving the country
    • Include your family members in the modification

    Who needs it

    1

    Non-EU students who have completed their studies in Spain

    2

    Holders of student stay authorization with a job offer

    3

    Internship holders who want to transition to an employment contract

    4

    Students whose card is about to expire and have a job offer

    FAQ

    Frequently asked questions

    Although the student is the beneficiary, regulations require the employer (the company that will hire you) to submit the application. Our team coordinates with both parties.

    The application can be submitted during the 2 months before the student card expires or up to 3 months after expiry or completion of studies. Important: submitting within this period automatically extends the validity of the previous stay until the case is resolved.

    Yes. It is an essential requirement to have completed the studies or training that gave rise to the stay in Spain. You must prove it with the degree obtained or a completion certificate from the educational center.
