Destination Guide

Spain’s islands, including Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, Mallorca, Menorca and Ibiza, offer many opportunities in hotels, restaurants, tourism, retail, transport and seasonal services. Tenerife has a mild climate, an international population and a strong year-round hospitality industry, especially in Costa Adeje and the south. Island life offers beaches, outdoor activities, relaxed social culture and excellent local food, although housing and transport costs can be higher in popular resort areas. Spanish is important for everyday life and many workplaces, while English and German are useful in tourism. EU, EEA and Swiss citizens can work without a visa but must complete local registration requirements. Non-EU applicants generally need an employer-sponsored work permit before starting employment. A valid passport, employment contract, accommodation plan and social-security registration are normally required for relocation.
