UNITED KINGDOM
Visas for the United Kingdom: Secondment Worker Visa.
Since December 31, 2020, the United Kingdom is no longer a part of the European Union. This has generated significant changes in the free movement of people from Europe that were in effect until that date.
Initially, for stays shorter than 90 days and activities related to tourism and business (visiting clients or suppliers, attending fairs or conferences, etc.), no visa is required.
For any other activity or stays longer than 90 days, Spaniards will need to obtain a visa.
