How long does it take to deploy a non-EU CE driver in Spain, by nationality?

Deployment speed depends on the driver's passport. Ukrainian drivers holding Temporary Protection under Council Implementing Decision 2022/382/EU have immediate work authorisation in Spain, valid until 4 March 2027. Moldovan drivers require 3–8 months via standard work permit; Kazakh and Belarusian drivers need 6–12 months. DGT licence exchange runs in parallel and can add up to 8 months for countries without a bilateral agreement.

Based on current DGT process and Spain bilateral agreements 2026

Regulatory framework: Ukrainian drivers in Spain operate under Real Decreto-ley 6/2022, implementing Council Implementing Decision 2022/382/EU, which grants automatic work authorisation to Temporary Protection beneficiaries — valid until 4 March 2027. Over 200,000 Ukrainian nationals are registered in Spain under this scheme. Employment agency services (Agencia de Colocación) are regulated under Ley 56/2003 de Empleo and Real Decreto 1796/2010, requiring a responsible declaration to the SEPE (Servicio Público de Empleo Estatal) per Orden TES/1324/2024.
