Everything you need to know to work in Spain with a student visa
There are several work options open to foreigners on a student visa in Spain
So, can I work while studying in Spain?
Option 1: part-time work through student visas
- The job cannot be the student’s main source of income. In other words, students must already have independent means to support themselves while at college in Spain, and will be required to show proof that they can afford their rent, university costs, living expenses etc.
- In this way, while there’s no set amount a person can earn through a part-time job, the salary should be limited and any time worked won’t count towards a visa renewal or citizenship application.
- How much your employer chooses to pay you is, of course, up to them, but you cannot work full-time on your student card – the law allows a maximum of 30 hours per week.
Option 2: Internships
- Accredited qualifications that prove they can carry out the professional activity – this can simply be a high school diploma or a college undergraduate degree.
- The company that wants to hire you must be registered with the Spanish Social Security, be up to date with all of its payments to the Tax Agency and able to show that it has the required financial means to employ you.
- Students and employers will need to sign a work contract.
- Finally, an EX-12 form will need to be completed and submitted to the authorities, along with a copy of your passport.
Working for yourself while studying in Spain
- Present a comprehensive business plan to the authorities which must prove financial viability
Important points to note for foreign students who want to work in Spain
- It is vital that the correct steps are followed and remember, authorisation to work while you’ll studying isn’t automatic or guaranteed.
- It is the prospective employer, not the student, who must submit the application to the immigration office.
- All applications for student work visas should be made in the province where the pupil will be employed and not where they are studying.
- A fee is payable at the time of application and students are not permitted to work until formal authorisation has been given.
Moving from a student visa to a work permit
- Students who have worked for at least a year in in-demand industries who are classed as highly-qualified will be able to transfer over to a work permit. To qualify, you must be employed as a senior manager or in a technical position and command a salary of at least 40,000 euros per year.
- After spending a minimum of one year in Spain, students can switch to a job-search visa, a non-lucrative residence permit that lasts for another 12 months while the person is searching for paid work.
- Finally, pupils who moved to Spain for education can qualify for a work permit once they complete their studies, regardless of the length of the qualification. Those student who wish to become self-employed will still, however, have to present a viable business plan.
