Here's a guide to our job section for expats who are looking for work in Spain, from permits and visas to the job market and what's available.Employment and trends
Looking for work in Spain? Expatica Spain covers everything you need to know about expat employment in your new country of residence, from work permits, European employment and immigration regulations to job applications and local labour law.
Detailed articles such as Job hunting in Spain and Looking for work in Spain take you through the rules regarding expat employment, including work permits, who does or doesn’t need one, whether partners can work or not, information about a special European employment programme for highly skilled migrants, expatriate work for students, conditions applied to entrepreneurs and working holiday schemes for expats from Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
Employment opportunities vary depending on location, so be sure to know the job climate from the cities to jobs on the Spanish coast.
Labour law and contracts
What you need to look out for and expect in working expat contracts is covered in articles such as Remuneration, Working time and leave, and Contracts. Also, be sure to read up on our guide to the Spanish social security system.
