Spain Tryout Work Permit

The most celebrated technical school in football, with academies that accept foreign players at youth level — though the entry bar is higher.

A trial in Spain is usually arranged with academies attached to lower-division clubs or with accredited training centres, not directly with top-flight clubs. Anyone promising you a trial at a major club on a first file is not telling you the truth, and we refuse to sell it that way.

Spain is inside the Schengen area, so the file requires a short-stay visa with an invitation letter from the host, proof of accommodation and insurance. This step is the longest part of the process, and we start it early, before the trial date is fixed.

Most in-demand sectors

  • Accredited technical academies and training centres
  • Youth categories from under-15 to under-21
  • Short technical development programmes of two weeks to a month
  • A detailed assessment report usable with other clubs
Expected timeline Eight to twelve weeks, most of it waiting for the Spanish embassy visa appointment.
Core requirements A passport valid at least six months, a performance video, a medical report, proof of funds for the visa, and notarised parental consent under eighteen.
