| Altamente cualificad Highly Qualified Professional (Ley 14/2013) | It is suitable for highly skilled professionals, but this occupation usually does not meet the high salary threshold (annual salary ≥ 34,000 euros). |
適合對象
- Patient, skillful non-EU applicants are willing to acquire skills through apprenticeship paths
- People with a strong interest in machinery and precision instruments
- Entrepreneurs who want to be self-employed and open small studios
- 追求高薪或快速晉升的人
- People who are not used to working independently or prefer large corporate environments
職業前景
The apprenticeship period is relatively long (usually 4-6 years), and after gaining experience, you can open your own shop or be promoted to technical supervisor. Some technicians switch careers to jewelry repair or precision manufacturing, while a few obtain official certification and enter museums or auction houses to work in high-value antique watch restoration.
The Spanish watch and precision instrument repair market is small but stable, supported by demand for high-end consumer goods and industrial equipment maintenance. With the rise of vintage watch collecting, skilled technicians are in short supply, but there are few new entrants, and competition for positions is mild.
