Spain said on Friday that it plans to issue more work visas and permits, in a move to attempt to reduce workforce shortage in different sectors.

“The government intends to grant further temporary visas for sectors that need workers,” said Minister of Inclusion, Social Security and Migration, Jose Luis Escriva.

Workforce shortages were noted the most in sectors, such as agriculture, industry, construction, and technology.

This move comes as part of the country’s plan to rebound from the setbacks of the pandemic on the economy.

According to recent data from the Spanish Institute of Statistics, a total of 42,000 Moroccans obtained Spanish citizenship by the end of 2021, among over 144,000 foreign nationals, representing an increase of 14.1%.
