Spain’s government has approved the GECCO 2026 order for the collective management of foreign worker contracts, setting new rules for circular migration programs. The order, published in the official gazette, updates the 2025 RELOEX to provide greater legal certainty for workers. It expands the two contract models—established and circular—allowing both generic and nominative procedures and introduces specific safeguards, including mandatory accommodation for circular workers. In 2025, 25,767 foreign seasonal workers from 17 countries participated in circular programs, a 25 % rise from 2024, mainly in agriculture across 21 provinces. The order also supports the upcoming WAFIRA II programme, extending circular migration to six countries and aiming to improve safety and benefits for migrant workers.
