Working in Spain after Brexit.

I work in entertainment in Spain. I want to employ a performer from the uk on the 90 day rule. I cannot seem to find anyone who knows what else is required/or if I can do this. Visas etc. At my wits end - please- can anyone advise or have this issue???

Thank you Sammy but it’s a minefield and not clear around the entertainment industry. Basically just want to know if ok to work for 90 days - I think it is..- but what paperwork is required. 🤯

Will have to try the Spanish Embassy again- but they even charge your call by the minute!!

If you want to employ a non-EU citizen don't you have to advertise the job to EU/EEA nationals first as they have priority for jobs.

Not that I would want to encourage it, but I would guess that the amount of UK people working cash in hand is increasing since the right to legally work in the EU was lost.

😀it couldn’t be cash in hand - but I do hear what you’re saying.
You’re right about advertising to EU first- this happened but nothing suitable. 

Just need to know what visas or paperwork is required to work 3 months on a part time basis. It’s such a difficult area to try and find answers believe it or not.

Order PCM/1238/2021 of November 20, 2021 now allows for visa-free and work permit-free performances in Spain for up to 90 days for 'Foreign artists, technicians and professionals who are going to carry out activities framed in the audiovisual sector, artistic activities before the public or aimed at recording of any kind for its dissemination by different mass media may avail themselves of these instructions.'

You will need to request a Foreigner Identification Number (NIE) on entry to Spain.

Additional requirements
You need to meet the following requirements:

• 'have an employment or professional relationship' with the Spanish company that has employed you
• comply with the general conditions of entry into the Schengen area
• have medical insurance which cover the entire stay
• have sufficient financial resources for the duration of the stay. This can be through an employment contract
• the employer must be registered in the Social Security system.

 From here.
