Work/Job Visas — Reality Check

❌ Important Clarification

Spain work permit visa from Bangladesh / Spain job visa for Bangladeshi: This is employer-led in Spain. The employer must first obtain residence/work authorization in Spain, and only then is the visa stamped.

Work permit visa ratio: No official nationality-specific ratio is published. Approval hinges on employer sponsorship and legal criteria.

goFLY note: We do NOT process employer-led work permits or arrange jobs.

"Visa Ratio" — What Actually Matters

⚠️ Understanding Visa Statistics

Spain visa ratio from Bangladesh 2024/2025 / student acceptance rate: EU/mission stats vary yearly; not all are granular by nationality.

✅ How to Boost Your Success

  • Consistent purpose/timeline across all documents
  • Traceable funds with clear source
  • Strong ties to Bangladesh (employment/business/property/family)
  • Compliant insurance meeting all requirements
  • Realistic and coherent itinerary

Apply from a Third Country (Residents Abroad)

  • Resident abroad: If you legally reside in UK/Canada/Saudi/Singapore, apply locally under that mission's rules
  • Not resident: If you're not a legal resident there, apply in Bangladesh
  • Spain visa from UK for Bangladeshi passport: You must prove UK legal residence (BRP/long-term status) to apply in the UK
