I have a job in Barcelona. I’ve come back to the U.S. for summer. I have a “pre-contract” for September-June. I have an apt., I’ve registered for empadamiento…what’s next in getting EIN or working papers? I’ve read all of the info on this excellent site….however, could you just give me a clear and concise answer?—Many thanks

To apply for a work visa in the Spanish Embassy in the US area where you live.
Best,
