How working as a student in Spain works

Since the May 2025 immigration regulation (RD 1155/2024), students enrolled in higher education or vocational (FP) programs in Spain can work up to 30 hours a week alongside their studies. The work right is built into the student stay — no separate permit, as long as the job doesn’t interfere with your timetable.

It does not cover everyone: language-school students have no automatic right to work.

This page lists the job shapes that fit — internships and part-time roles. Employers hire you like any other candidate; your side is confirming the weekly hours stay inside 30 and that your enrollment qualifies.

Ads don’t always state hours, so this list understates what’s really available — some full-time listings can be negotiated down. When you finish your studies, a 12-month job-search stay and an in-country switch to a work permit follow: see the after-graduation guide.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I work in Spain on a student visa?
Yes — if you are enrolled in higher education or a vocational (FP) program, you can work up to 30 hours a week without a separate work permit, under the May 2025 immigration regulation (RD 1155/2024). Language-school students do not have this automatic right.
Do I need my employer to sponsor me?
No. Within the 30-hour right, an employer hires you like any other candidate — there is no sponsorship process. That is what makes students some of the easiest non-EU hires in Spain.
Are internships in Spain paid?
It varies by contract and sector. Since the May 2025 regulation, every intern in Spain must be enrolled in social security, whether the internship is curricular or extracurricular.
What happens when I graduate?
You can stay up to 12 months on a job-search stay, and when you find a role, switch to a work permit in-country — no consulate, no leaving Spain. See our guide to staying in Spain after graduation.
Why doesn’t this list show every student-suitable job?
We list roles tagged as internships or part-time. Many ads never state hours, so plenty of suitable roles are missing from the count — and some full-time listings can be adapted if you ask.
