Hi and thanks for this forum!

I work for a small company in the US, who has been contracted by another company that will be doing a job in Spain. I would be there for about 90 days as my part in the job, and I am totally confused as to what I need for a Visa or work permit. I don’t want to live there - we are renting a little place not far from the job.
How do I get some sort of permit?
Thank you very much for any help.

I’m not sure I understood.
Do I apply for a work visa, or does the company I work for, or does the company that hired the company I work for apply?
And I’m supposed to start work there in mid January - what about the time aspect?
Thanks

Temp work: what kind of work are you doing for the company?

In most cases if you’re staying less than 90 days you’ll have no issues. Be a “tourist” when you land and you get 90 days. There are no benefits to getting a work visa for stays of less than 90 days.
