Destination Guide

Spain’s islands, including Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, Mallorca and Ibiza, offer employment in hotels, restaurants, tourism, transport, retail, healthcare and seasonal services. Tenerife has a relaxed, international culture, volcanic landscapes, coastal towns and year-round outdoor activities. Lifestyle is generally sunny and social, although resort areas can be busy and rents may be high. Spanish is important for daily life, while English and other languages are valuable in tourism. EU, EEA and Swiss citizens can work with registration and the required local documentation. Non-EU applicants normally need an employer-sponsored work and residence permit before starting employment. Relocating usually involves arranging accommodation, a Spanish tax number, social-security registration and healthcare access. Research transport, housing and contract conditions carefully, especially for seasonal resort positions.
