Delais de traitement et frais officiels

• Overall processing time: The residence-and-work authorisation is decided within 3 months from the date the application enters the competent body's registry; if no decision is notified within that period, the application is deemed granted by positive administrative silence (silencio administrativo positivo).
• Government fees: Government fees are paid on Model 790: code 062 (work authorisation, paid by the employer) and code 052 (initial temporary residence authorisation, paid by the worker), payable within 10 business days of admission. The exact EUR amounts are set on the current Model 790 form and are Not published on the procedure sheet — verify with the Ministerio de Inclusión, Seguridad Social y Migraciones / Oficina de Extranjería.
• Procedure, applicant (employer-led), granting authority (Oficina de Extranjería), the 3-month resolution limit with positive silence, and the visa/entry/Social Security/TIE sequence were verified against the Ministerio de Inclusión and the EU Immigration Portal; the framework reflects RD 1155/2024 (in force 20 May 2025). Exact Model 790 fee amounts still need confirmation on the live form. This is operational guidance, not legal advice.
