INTERNSHIP OFFERS in Spain

The steps involved in doing an internship in Spain depend on your status and nationality. The main steps include applying for a visa (if required), obtaining an NIE, signing an internship contract, taking out insurance, and registering with social security if you are paid. It’s important to check the legal requirements before you leave, to make sure you meet all your administrative obligations and get the most out of your internship experience in Spain.

Fluent Spanish is not always necessary for an internship in Spain, especially in international sectors or in companies where English is widely used. However, a minimum level of Spanish is recommended to maximize your experience and facilitate your integration into everyday Spanish life. If your level of Spanish is low, you may want to consider taking a few courses before you leave to improve your skills.

In Spain, remuneration for internships is not compulsory and is therefore relatively rare, especially in the case of student internships. Some companies may offer benefits such as meals or accommodation. On the whole, although some internships are paid, this depends on a number of factors, such as the length of the internship, the company and the sector of activity.
