For 2026 the gross salary must be at least €41,356.36 a year on both routes. The UGE-CE applies that single threshold to the national HQP authorisation, with no reduced threshold, and it is also the general EU Blue Card threshold (1.4 x the INE 2024 average salary of €29,540.26, under Order PJC/44/2026). The Blue Card has a reduced €33,085.09 threshold for hard-to-fill occupations in CNO-2011 groups 1 and 2, or for people who obtained their qualification in the three years before applying (UGE-CE notice, checked 18 October 2026). We check the figure for your role before filing.

Both sit under Ley 14/2013 art. 71. The national HQP authorisation (art. 71.2.b) needs a qualification at MECES level 1 or three years of equivalent experience, and the single €41,356.36 threshold. The EU Blue Card (arts. 71.2.a and 71 bis) needs a higher-education qualification of at least three years (EQF level 6) or five years of equivalent experience (three of the last seven for ICT professionals), a contract or firm offer of at least six months, and €41,356.36 or the reduced €33,085.09; it adds EU-level mobility. We compare both for your case.

Either the company or the professional can file with the UGE-CE (Ley 14/2013 art. 71.1); if the professional files, the UGE-CE tells the company. The UGE-CE must decide within 20 days of electronic filing, and silence counts as approval (art. 76.1). We prepare the evidence on both the company and worker side before filing.

Three years, or the length of the contract plus three months if the contract is shorter, up to three years (Ley 14/2013 art. 71.3). In the 60 days before it ends you can renew for two years if the conditions still apply, and long-term residence is possible after five years (checked 18 October 2026).

Spain gives you three months to find a new highly qualified job, or six months if you have held the Blue Card for at least two years, before the card can be withdrawn or not renewed (Ley 14/2013 art. 71 bis.3).

Yes. A spouse or partner, minor children, dependent adult children without their own family unit, and dependent ascendants can apply together with you or later (Ley 14/2013 art. 62.4). When they apply at the same time as you, their applications are decided together with yours.
