Public employment in Valencia 2026: new 10-day deadline for amended positions

Key data

If you are preparing for civil service exams at the Valencia City Council or have already submitted an application in the original July 2025 call, this resolution directly affects you. The Resolution of October 16, 2026 opens a window of 10 business days for candidates for amended positions to submit a new application. Failing to act within this deadline could result in exclusion from the selection process for those positions.

The reason for this reopening is an amendment to the bases of the call, published in the Official Bulletin of the Province of Valencia in December 2025. That amendment modified the conditions of certain positions, which requires reopening the application deadline to ensure that all candidates can compete with the correct bases.

What does this regulation establish?

The resolution establishes the extension of the application deadline for certain positions in the public employment call of the Valencia City Council, originally launched in July 2025.

The reason is clear: in December 2025, an amendment to the bases of that call was published in the Official Bulletin of the Province of Valencia. That amendment affected only some of the positions called, not all of them. To ensure legal certainty of the process and that candidates can compete with the final and correct bases, the deadline is reopened only for positions affected by that amendment.

The key points established by the resolution are:

• The new deadline is 10 business days, counted from October 23, 2026.
• The deadline applies exclusively to positions whose bases were amended in December 2025.
• Positions not affected by the amendment proceed normally; candidates who have already submitted applications for those positions do not need to do anything.
• Applications submitted previously for amended positions may not be valid for those positions, so it is recommended to submit a new application within the deadline.

Economic and operational impact

From an operational perspective, the main impact is not economic but procedural and exclusion risk. The most relevant aspects are:

• Risk of exclusion from the selection process: A candidate who does not submit a new application within the 10 business days for an amended position may be excluded from the process, regardless of having submitted an application in the original July 2025 call.
• Double verification required: Candidates who applied for multiple positions must identify which of them were amended in December 2025 and act accordingly.
• Very tight deadline: 10 business days is a narrow margin. Counting from October 23, 2026, the deadline ends approximately November 5 or 6, 2026 (depending on local holidays).
• No impact on non-amended positions: Candidates for positions not affected by the amendment have no additional obligations.

Who does it affect?

• People who submitted applications in the public employment call of the Valencia City Council of July 2025 for positions whose bases were amended in December 2025.
• New candidates who did not apply in the original call but wish to compete for amended positions: they can also submit applications within this new deadline.
• Civil service exam candidates preparing for positions at the Valencia City Council and pending confirmation of whether their position was subject to amendment.
• Labor advisors, civil service exam academies, and management firms advising candidates in selection processes at the Valencia City Council.

Candidates for positions in the same call that were not subject to amendment in December 2025 are not affected.

Practical example

Imagine that in July 2025 you submitted applications for two different positions at the Valencia City Council: a Group A1 position and a Group C1 position. In December 2025, the Official Bulletin of the Province of Valencia publishes an amendment to the bases that affects only the Group C1 position (for example, modifying qualification requirements or the syllabus).

In this scenario:

• Your application for the Group A1 position remains valid. You do not need to do anything for that position.
• Your application for the Group C1 position may not be valid, since it was submitted with the bases prior to the amendment. You must submit a new application for that position within the 10 business days from October 23, 2026.
• If you do not submit a new application for the C1 position within this deadline, you could be excluded from the selection process for that position.

What should interested parties do now?

1. Identify if your position was amended: Check the Official Bulletin of the Province of Valencia (BOP Valencia) from December 2025 to verify which positions from the July 2025 call were subject to amendment of bases.
2. Review the validity of your previous application: If you submitted an application for any of the amended positions, consider that application may not be valid. Submit a new application within the 10 business day deadline from October 23, 2026.
3. Act with urgency: The 10 business day deadline is very tight. Do not wait until the last moment to gather documentation and submit your application.
4. Confirm the submission channel: Verify on the electronic office of the Valencia City Council or in the original call how and where the application should be submitted (electronic office, in-person registration, etc.).
5. If you are a new candidate: This deadline also allows you to submit an application for the first time for amended positions. Review the updated requirements in the amended bases published in BOP Valencia in December 2025.
