Work permit offices in Málaga

The Immigration Office in Málaga

Autorización de residencia temporal y trabajo por cuenta ajena is an authorisation, so it is decided at an Oficina de Extranjería under the Government Delegation — not at a police station. They are separate networks with separate appointment systems, and going to the wrong one is the most common wasted journey in Spanish immigration.
