You’ll need a visa and a work permit that your employer will apply for if you intend to work when moving to Spain. However, you will still need to apply for a visa, which must be done in person at the nearest embassy.
While at the embassy, you make inquiries about obtaining a Foreigners’ Identity Number (N.I.E.). If you’re looking for more information, see our page about moving to Europe after Brexit.
