# How to become a model in Spain

Apply to a Madrid or Barcelona agency through its own website, with natural phone photos and your basic stats. Several, including View, Sight, Trend and Traffic, publish minimum heights; others ask only for your height. Most do not see walk-ins. Under-16s may take part in public shows only in exceptional cases authorised by the labour authority.

## How agencies recruit

- Most agencies take applications online or by email and do not see walk-ins: View says it holds no open calls, and Mad Models sees no candidates without an appointment. (https://www.viewmanagement.com/en/become-a-model/)
- Phone photos are fine. Traffic says professional photos are not needed, and Blow asks for smartphone pictures in natural light without make-up. (https://blowmodels.com/become-a-model/)
- Silence usually means no: View says no reply within two weeks means you were not accepted, Mad Models says one week, and Uno says it replies within three business days if interested. (https://www.unomodels.com/en/become)
- View says it never asks for nude or lingerie pictures or a fee to view your photos, and that its emails come only from @viewmanagement.com addresses. (https://www.viewmanagement.com/en/become-a-model/)
- We could not verify an official Spanish rule specific to modelling-agency fees; the rule below covers under-16s.

## Rules on fees, contracts and safeguarding

- Under-16s may not be employed, and their participation in public shows may be authorised by the labour authority only in exceptional cases, in writing and for specific events, where it does not endanger their health or development. Source: https://www.boe.es/buscar/act.php?id=BOE-A-2015-11430#a6
