How can I work in Spain?

International students studying in Spain can work for 2 hours a week without delaying their studies. This requires students to apply for a student work permit to work legally. At the same time, in order to ensure the legitimate interests of students, according to Spanish labor law, students have to sign a work contract with their employers, and employers have to take social welfare insurance for working students and pay 94% of the insurance premium, and the remaining 6% will be withheld from the students' wages.

Of course, if students get excellent grades, they also have the opportunity to enter local enterprises as interns. Many famous universities in Spain usually sign internship agreements with some enterprises and recommend outstanding students to practice in various enterprises, including some famous enterprises. Many students take this opportunity to apply what they have learned to practical work and work-study through paid internships, which is an excellent opportunity for them to improve their own abilities, save expenses and enter world-famous enterprises!

Spanish companies are generally closed on Saturdays and Sundays. But restaurants, bars, cafes, shopping malls and supermarkets are open as usual, so these places need part-time students, especially on weekends.

Generally, international students can start looking for part-time jobs after three months in Spain. Because the language courses are relatively compact, most students choose to work on weekends. Students can also practice their language while working to earn money.

Spanish public universities have more holidays than language schools, so students have more spare time to allocate by themselves. With these spare time, international students can work in some Chinese restaurants or enterprises to maintain their living expenses. But for your own legitimate rights and interests, you should remember to sign a work contract with your employer and get legal support.
