### WHAT IS INCLUDED AND WHAT IS NOT PROMISED

This is the 2024 Regulation route for someone with two years here who lands a contract. The file usually fails on the contract: hours, duration and pay have to meet what the initial work permit requires, and that has to be checked before it is signed.

What it includes: checking the contract against the permit's requirements before it is signed; preparing and filing the complete application; tracking, corrections and social security registration once granted. What it does not include: we cannot guarantee the permit or speed up the authority: the immigration office or the ministry decides in its own time.

#### DOCUMENTS YOU WILL NEED

- Full valid passport.
- Municipal registration certificate, historical if you have it.
- Residence card or earlier decision, if any.
- Signed employment contract or offer showing hours, duration and pay.
- Apostilled and translated criminal record certificate.

#### INDICATIVE TIMING

We answer your enquiry within 1 working day and send the written quote within 2 working days.

Once your documents are complete, we prepare the file between 5 and 12 working days.

Legal deadline: 3 months from entry in the competent office’s register, with silence meaning refusal. The employer should know: the contract has to still stand when it is decided.

See [the pricing page](https://iberfacil.es/en/pricing) for how we charge this kind of matter.

### Frequently asked questions

MY CONTRACT IS PART-TIME, IS THAT ENOUGH?

It depends on the hours and the resulting pay against the minimum required. Send us the contract before signing and we will tell you.

IS AN OFFER ENOUGH OR DO I NEED A SIGNED CONTRACT?

Either may be accepted depending on the case; we check with the file in front of us.

WHAT IF THE EMPLOYER PULLS OUT?

The application falls. That is why the employer should know the timescales from the start.
