As a member of the European Union (EU), Spain is the most popular destination for many Cubans looking to emigrate due to its culture and historical ties. Only the United States accepts more Cuban migrants than the Iberian country, which is why some are exploring options for emigration, such as a work visa to Spain. What news is there on this topic?
Those lucky enough to obtain Spanish citizenship enjoy benefits such as permanent residence and work in Spain, participation in elections, and travel and work in any European country without difficulty.
After the USA, Germany and the United Kingdom, Spain is one of the countries that receives the most emigrants in the world. In addition, the Spanish population exceeded 48 million inhabitants in 2023, a “demographic record” also due to the increase in immigration of foreigners. 82.9% of this population was born in Spain and 17.1% in other countries.
