Modelo EX12

Form EX12 is a comprehensive application used by foreign nationals in Spain to request work authorization. It accommodates various employment types, including part-time and full-time positions, as well as self-employment. The form also supports requests for initial authorization and extensions under specific conditions, such as study, research, training, and humanitarian reasons.

Purpose: The purpose of Form EX12, or Modelo EX12, is to facilitate the application process for individuals seeking authorization to work in Spain. It caters to both employment and self-employment scenarios, covering a range of situations from initial applications to extensions.

Form EX12, officially known as ‘Solicitud de autorización para trabajar,’ serves as a critical document for foreign nationals intending to work in Spain. This form is designed to streamline the process of applying for work authorization, whether for employment or self-employment, in part-time or full-time capacities. It is structured to address a wide array of applicant circumstances, including initial applications and requests for authorization extensions. The form is grounded in Spanish legislation, specifically LO 4/2000 and RD 557/2011, ensuring applicants comply with the legal requirements for working in Spain. Applicants must provide detailed personal information, employment details, and, if applicable, information about a legal representative. The form also includes sections for specifying the type of work authorization being sought, such as for employment (cuenta ajena) or self-employment (cuenta propia), and the nature of the authorization (initial or extension). This comprehensive approach facilitates the Spanish authorities’ assessment of each application, ensuring that all necessary information is provided for a decision to be made.
