I am TEFL certified does anyone know how to obtain a visa in Italy or Spain?

Question

This is the a%& backwards part. There are employers who want to hire me but I do not already have a visa. I call the embassy and they say the employer is suppose to assist me with documents to obtain my visa. So who is standing in the middle of the road like a deer and who actually was able to obtain a visa through this non function system?

Answer 1

What's your citizenship? If your American you only need a visa if you want to stay for more than 90 days.

And which kind of work are you referring to? Kind visa vary according to that.

Take a look here  http://www.esteri.it/visti/home_eng.asp

For instance:

"Documents required for SUBORDINATE EMPLOYMENT

domestic workers, home-care givers, seasonal labourers, highly skilled labourers, managers, university lecturers and professors, researchers, translators, interpreters, personnel on leave for training, nurses, maritime workers, sports personnel and athletes, entertainment industry personnel

This visa is to be issued pending issuance of the “nulla osta” (entry clearance), to be requested by the employer.

The "Sportello Unico" (Unified Immigration Desk) will provide for the Nulla Osta (entry clearance) and the "contratto di soggiorno per lavoro" (job contract) to be sent to the Diplomatic Representation.

   1. visa application form

   2. recent passport-style photo

   3. passport or travel document valid for at least three months after visa expiry date"
