Destination Guide

The Spanish islands offer opportunities in hotels, restaurants, tourism, events, retail, customer service, aviation and seasonal leisure businesses. Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Mallorca, Ibiza, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura are especially active, although Spanish skills can improve employment prospects outside international resorts. Island culture combines relaxed social life, local festivals, seafood, outdoor dining, music and strong community traditions. The lifestyle generally includes mild weather, beaches, hiking, water sports and a slower pace, though rents and transport costs can be high in popular areas. EU, EEA and Swiss nationals can work in Spain with registration and a valid identity document. Non-EU applicants normally need an appropriate work or internship visa arranged before arrival, with documents such as a contract, passport, insurance and proof of funds. Interns should confirm accommodation, transport, tax, healthcare and university requirements with the employer and Spanish authorities before relocating.
